Surprise Your Grad with a Money Pizza Box 🎓💰 (DIY Tutorial)

Looking for a quick and easy way to gift money to a graduate without it seeming boring and impersonal?  This DIY Graduation Gift is a SUPER cute way to display some spending money and gift cards in a pizza box of all things 🙂

Graduation Gift Idea with Pizza Box

My friend shared this super cute idea for a DIY Graduation gift with money that she saw, and I had to give it a try!

It took less than 30 minutes to make, is a great fun way to give cash (which is what most folks love anyways!), and you’ll feel like you totally rocked one gift this year. 🙂 

Graduation Gift Pizza Box Supplies

Here’s what you need to make this money pizza for a graduation gift: 

  • Repositionable tape or double sided tape
  • Gift cards
  • Pizza Box (I grabbed this one for free at Dominos)
  • Cash (I used about 15 one dollar bills)
  • Optional: Shrink wrap, blow dryer (to mold the shrink wrap together)

Adding money to pizza box for gift

How to make a Graduation Pizza Box Money Gift

Attach a small piece of double sided tape to the bottom of a dollar bill. Place onto the bottom of the pizza box. Then, place additional bills in a clockwise direction, slightly overlapping but keeping the small edges in the shape of a large circle (your pizza).

Fan all the bills out until you have a complete, solid circle.

Next, place gift cards (if desired) on top as your “toppings”. You could also use quarters or dollar coins for this.

Optional: Wrap in shrink wrap and blow dry to shrink it down (You can watch me in the video linked for visual learners on an easy way to do this!)

Add a note on the pizza box lid. You can handwrite it, or grab our free printable here!

There you have it! A fun, memorable gift for any graduate.

P.S. I thought it would be super fun as a teacher gift too.  Note – if you do give it to a teacher you’ll want to make sure their school allows you to give teachers cash ~ many only allow gift cards, so find out ahead of time before preparing.
