Great Social Media Idea: DIY Grad Cap Decoration Video

Greetings loyal readers!

Apologies for the lack of posts lately - grad school deadlines and wedding planning take precedence over the blog. And my damn hand is still in a cast.

But what I have I give to you, dear readers, so here I am with a new idea to share. Which, truth be told, I only have thanks to the wonderful and talented Rebekah Winkler from the University of Tennessee.

Decorating graduation caps has become a total thing in recent years (or at least, become a lot more of a thing - I blame Pinterest), and students fill graduation hashtags with hundreds upon hundreds of photos of their awesome cap decorations. As such, UT-Knoxville stepped in and made an awesome - and glittery! - video:

Take it away, Rebekeh:

It's still early in the commencement cycle, but we had so much fun making this video for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's social channels, that I wanted to share. We made a DIY-style video of quick-and-easy UT-inspired grad cap decorations. Of course, I'm happy any time my job allows me to play with so much glitter, but we tried to focus on supplies that were easy to come across if a student doesn't already have them. And we supplied a template for one of the designs. You can see the full video on our Facebook page. We also posted a shorter cut of it on Twitter and Instagram... I can't wait to see how everyone else is celebrating their graduates.

Totally love it, especially the part about being thoughtful about what supplies students have access to and providing a template for the not-so-artistically inclined.

 Also, I can't wait to see what everyone else is doing too! (Hint, hint... send me some ideas using the suggestion box!)
