However you decide to use this list, the SVGs are sure to make easy DIY graduation gifts. And if your loved one is this year’s graduate, usually you need lots of cards and gifts for all the kids you’ve watched grow up the last 12 years with your child.

So grab our Cricut and the graduation SVGs below, and let’s get creating!

Graduation Crafts for Gifts – Personalize Frame

This is an easy one to create. If you want to give money, it’s a fun add-on for that gift. The idea is really simple, and you can even use some scrap vinyl for this graduation craft.

Graduation Picture Frame Gift – Supplies

• Any frame with glass or plastic cover.
• Senior 2022 Free Graduation SVG
• Vinyl in 2 colors (or more)
• Cricut and mats
• Embellishments (like flowers, ribbon)
• Hot Glue Gun to add accents

You will also need a picture of your graduate to add to the frame. Or for a unique way to give the grad the gift of money.

Simply add the money, gift card, or check behind the glass instead of a picture. They can take that out and add their favorite grad picture. Adding the Free Graduation SVG with the Senior 2022 is a great gift idea with a personal touch.

So many unique ideas to celebrate graduation day with your loved one. Grad gift ideas you can make are the best! Use these examples to inspire your next creative idea.

Begin by cutting your vinyl. I wouldn’t mirror this and add to the outside of the glass.

But either way is acceptable. Be sure to check your vinyl, some are a different color on the back, so if you mirror your vinyl, this might not end how you had hoped.

Easy Graduation Craft for the perfect gift

Toss it (gently) into a cute gift bag and stuff in some tissue paper to finish this fun graduation gift in just minutes. The hardest part is picking the vinyl colors!

Add the vinyl to the glass and insert a grad photo. So Simple. (I can’t even drag out the steps for this one to keep you playing on my blog! haha)

Easy graduation gifts are a fun way to help celebrate this graduation season.

Suppose you are a mom and about to be an empty nester parent, no worries. It’s not as bad as they tell us. It’s so fun to see them grow and become the amazing adults we trained them to be all these years.

The SVGs in the examples below make the best gifts for best friends to exchange, or for that unique t-shirt idea for mom to wear to the grad party, or the perfect SVG to accent her wine glass as we celebrate the important moments of this day.
