Congrats, graduate! The Redheaded Camel has created over 300 graduation caps over the past three years and we're so excited to help you celebrate your special day with a hand-painted cap topper just for you. Each graduation cap topper is hand-painted and completely customized to your requests, making your finished cap topper unique and truly one of a kind!
The actual graduation cap is not included. Sarah paints on a solid black, durable cap topper template that fits on top of your graduation cap. The cap topper template measures 9.5x9.5 inches.
The process to attach your design to the cap itself is very easy. Your cap topper will come with a pre-cut "button hole" in the center of the card stock. Simply place the cap topper over the button and line the edges of the cap up with the edges of the card stock template. Use glue or double sided tape to secure the edges of the design template to the cap. Cap toppers ALL come with a precut button hole for easy placement and attachment.
Grad Cap Topper Timeline
Your cap topper is cut, painted, packaged, and shipped by The Redheaded Camel. When you purchase a cap topper, you'll receive a design questionnaire via email to include important details, like colors, quote, flower preferences, and other information. If Sarah has questions before starting the cap topper, you'll chat by email to nail down details before the painting begins!
After you cap topper has been painted, you'll receive a photo via email for approval prior to shipment. Every step of the grad cap process is designed to keep the graduate involved and excited about your one of a kind design!
Due to the high demand of the graduation cap toppers and the time it takes to design and hand paint each one, we request that you order your cap topper AT LEAST four weeks prior to the date needed. If you need your cap topper sooner than four weeks from the order date, please email sarah@theredheadedcamel.com to discuss a rush order. At checkout, you must provide the date your cap topper is needed (for graduation, senior portraits, etc.). Your cap topper will be shipped for arrival to you at least three days before the needed date that is provided.
Why Invest?
Whether it's the first Bible verse you ever memorized or the quote that has gotten you through the difficult exams and presentations of college, your graduation cap topper is a visual representation of your story, your "why," and a celebration of all you've accomplished. Together, we'll work through the details of style, colors, and theme to ensure that the design represents your story well and celebrates your day in style! Whether is sassy and funny or thoughtful and sweet, your cap topper will be a special memento from your commencement day that you can cherish and display for years to come.
At checkout, please be sure to include the following:
- Quote + quote color and style (cursive or print)
- Border design (flowers, polka dots, or something else)
- Date of your graduation
- Email address - in case I have questions!
