| Sheet Music Ornament using Antique French Sheet Music |
You may have seen my glitter trees and sheet music wreath a couple of
posts ago. This week I've added three paper ornaments to our Christmas tree. So this year our tree has a very natural feel. I only hung ornaments that were mostly silver, gold, white and natural. All brightly colored ornaments are taking a break. Because the french sheet music is so dear to me and I only have a little left, my friend suggested I use other papers.

This is a great idea for anyone on a budget. See below, I used a winter Trader Joe's bag. The winter bag has additional white lettering and drawings. Also, you could use a little gesso and stamp some craft paper to get the same effect.

It's so simple, you really don't need a tutorial, just a few pictures might do the trick.....

| Pinch the end and staple it |
Just cut a round disk. I used the lid of a pickle jar. Cut little rectangles, ( maybe 3-1/2" x 5"), fold the widest side in half and then pull each flap back on itself as shown above, and staple it at the end. Staple them to the disk in a round circular shape.

You can use a glue gun for the interior portion. Add a layer around the back plus a ribbon and your done! I did this while watching a Christmas movie.

I didn't realize they were that big until I saw your hand holding them in the later photos! =) They're beautiful.

These are beautiful!! And they would make great bows for presents too--Thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing Diana, these are really neat. I remember when I was small my mum made something similar but on a bigger scale for a table centre. Perhaps I should make one up and share with you guys! Hers were made from red and green tissue paper but it would look really fab done with sheet music or craft paper like yours!
Have a wonderful christmas
