Top Ten Fun Ways to Reuse Your Graduation Gown

#10. Have it made into a miniature doll-sized gown and keep it for years to come displayed on your favorite collector's doll. If you don't collect fancy get a gown made for a cabbage patch doll or even for your favorite stuffed animal from childhood.
#9. Have it made into a dorm or bedroom curtain panel. You can hang the panel in the center of two panels on your window for a dramatic yet elegant effect.
#8. Cut it into pieces and use it behind pictures as the mat in the frame. Use the mat that comes with the frame as your template.
#7. Cut it into strips about an two inches wide and braid it all together, then put small hooks in it and a knot at the top. Hang it on a nail in your closet and use it to hang your belts on.
#6. Braid it as mentioned above and hot glue the braid around the outside of a large picture collage frame of your fun at graduation with family and friends.
#5. Have a local seamstress turn it into a cute little dress or tie.
#4. Braid it as mentioned above and hold a tug-o-war battle with all of your buddies at your graduation party.
#3. Cut it up into 5X7 rectangles, glue a piece of fancy paper to one side and write your thank-you notes on them.
#2. Tear it up and use it as dust rags for years to come.
#1. Cut it into small squares large enough to put some candies in. Put in some candy (M&Ms or something that size), bring the corners up and tie a ribbon of your school colors around it. Then pass it out at your graduation party as party favors.

Whatever you do, don't throw it away! Get some use out of it and you'll never forget the memories that come with it!
