Step 1
Tie a piece of string to a pencil. Find the center of the foam core board and hold the opposite end of the string to the center point. Use this to draw a large circle. Cut out. 
 
Trace the circle on the second foam core board and cut out.  
Step 2
Once you draw the circle, cut it out with the X-ACTO® knife. Make the edges of your circle uneven to look more like a “cookie”.  
 
Use the brown Sharpie® marker to draw chocolate chips onto the “cookie”.  
Step 3
Apply brown Sharpie® marker color to a paper towel and add rubbing alcohol, Smudge color on the “cookie”. Set aside.  
 
Lay out the ribbon and place the iron-on letters to spell “Smart Cookie”. Iron on according to the directions on the package.  
Step 4
Attach the elastic pieces at the shoulder with the brads to hold the costume in place. 
 
Wear a T-shirt in red, black tights or slacks and a mortar board graduation cap.
