Today marks the end of my academic career. Today I graduate from university!
Of course I could never let the occasion pass without injecting a dose of fance into my graduation ensemble.
Behold, my cap:
So, if you happen to be at Oregon State's Reser Stadium tomorrow, I'll be that glistening sparkle. 

{Semi-vague how-to: I printed the "OS" logo, and then after cutting it out, positioned it on my cap so that from behind, the logo would be right-side up. I then applied all the diamonds. I let them dry overnight before removing my stencil. Using the logo as a guide, I applied the black sequins as the border of the OS, before finally gluing in the orange gems. It was simplest to squeeze some glue down (I used E-6000) and then spread it around using a gloved finger. The gloves also prevent getting glue all over the gems, as when your gloved hand begins to get sticky, you can just grab a new glove!}

Anyone need something bedazzled? I'm very reasonably priced!
