What are some creative things I can do with my graduation gown AFTER graduation?

Story time: I graduated high school yesterday. As I was walking out i had taken my gown off and it was dragging on the ground behind me and my aunt laughs and says something about it and my mom says Well it's not like she's gonna wear it again. and my aunt says True, I still have my son's from like 20 something years ago in the closet.

So I've been thinking about that, I don't want to just throw it in the closet and let it sit for 25 years. I want to make something out of it. I have made quite a few pillows before but it's not the kind of material that would be easy to sew (I don't have a sewing machine) so that's out of the question. I can't find anything online to do with the gown. I already decorated my cap but that's not enough for me. Does anybody have any ideas? They don't have to be easy, I live for a challenge. And i don't have to use the whole gown i can cut it up.

I also really love to paint, I have a bunch of acrylic paints if that helps.

Just any ideas at all would be helpful. Thanks!!!!
