This month both my sister and niece are graduating from
nursing school (I couldn’t be more proud!)
I decided to make custom nurse themed gift bags to hold their graduation
gifts.

I decided to make custom nurse themed gift bags to hold their graduation
gifts.
I used a free nurse cap coloring page from a Google search
as my pattern and cut out a white nurse cap & red cross from scrap
cardstock.

I wanted to edge the nurse’s cap in a nice chunky
glitter. This is how I created a perfect
glittered edge:
glitter. This is how I created a perfect
glittered edge:
- Prep your cardstock cut out by patting with the PerfectCrafting Pouch. This will get rid of any
static and glitter will ONLY stick to your glue (no random sprinklings of
glitter!) - Using the Best Glue Ever and the No Clog Writing Tip (this is a must have – and my new craft crush – to apply glue with precision – it comes in different sizes and even fits different brands of glue), squeeze
a line of glue along the edge of your cut out - Pour glitter over your cut out and shake off excess
- Unlike typical glitter glues, Best Glue Ever dries QUICKLY!
For the cross on the nurses cap:
- Squeeze Best Glue Ever on to a dish, add just a bit of water
and mix - Apply watered down glue to cross with foam brush
- Pour red glitter over cross, shake off excess
Attach cross to cap using foam tape and attach your finished piece to bag.
You will be amazed at how quickly the Best Glue Ever dries,
allowing you to create last minute custom gift wrap!
