Sheet Music Christmas Decor

November 06, 2012
I bought some vintage piano lesson books recently for $1 each at a local thrift shop. 





Pinterest is full of Christmas sheet music decorations.  I was inspired.

With more $1.49 for six, clear glass ornaments available at our local Menard's, I cut some of the piano book music pages in strips.


Then filled clear glass balls with the strips.


I like them.

I also made some sheet music bundles from my piano books.

I crumpled the pages.



Then folded them in piles.



Then put them in a grocery bag with warm teabag water.




I then ironed them with a cotton cloth.



I brushed on matte Mod Podge and sprinkled with mica faux snow.  I also tied the bundle with jute and a button.






I just bought this "vintage look" Santa figurine today.  Love him with my sheet music bundles!

  6. So darn cute!! Love the mica on them too. I think crafts see the iron in my house far more than the clothes do. Thank goodness for advances in non-wrinkling technology! :)

  19. Seeing all your Christmas crafts is scaring me! I'm not even started on anything yet. I'm still trying to get my house in shape for Thanksgiving and boy is it time consuming. I do love your music bundles though. What a great idea! If only I could get all my other work done and play at Christmas decor. Keep the ideas coming. I'll need some quick things to copy when I finally get to it. :)

  20. I think that you have single handedly wiped out all of the Christmas sheet music in all of the thrift shops across the nation. Everyone (me included) will want to copy this idea!
