Kits typically include topper cutouts, adhesive assembly stickers, and sticks for simple DIY assembly (some listings note adult assembly required). No tools are usually needed. Once assembled, toppers can be inserted into vases or floral arrangements, placed in apothecary jars, used in photo booths, or set on tables as centerpieces or other party accents.
Kits commonly include three topper shapes: phrase‑shaped toppers (e.g., "Congrats Grad" variations), round circle toppers, and grad cap‑shaped toppers. Sets are typically sold as a mix of those shapes.
Most product listings specify a suggested age of 12 years and up for these cutouts and centerpiece kits.
Many items are professionally printed double‑sided on heavy or heavy‑duty cardstock; some note a photo‑like shine. Metallic or glitter looks are typically achieved with a printed glitter effect (no loose glitter).
Large cap cutouts can be used as table centerpieces, photo booth props, wall decorations, ceiling hangings, banner pieces, balloon arch accents, or to attach grad photos in memory displays.
