Music Sheet Ornament Tutorial


When I saw the Pottery Barn

Music Sheet Ornaments

in a catalog I really wanted some!

but when I saw them in real life I

decided I kind of wanted some that

were more vintage looking ~


So I went to Graphics Fairy found

an image and made some that I love!


Here is a quick how to on

how I made my own ~

{ they are really too easy for

a tutorial :) }


But .... here goes ~

First I copied the image and sized

and duplicated it in Photoshop ~


Printed it on matte photo paper

or heavy card stock ~


Cut and glue with a glue stick

to another piece of heavy card stock

and cut around image ~


For a more vintage look I

added a little stamp pad ink

around the edges ~


Then put a little glue on the edge

and then glitter ~ I used

German Glass Glitter because I

love how it ages ~


They would be a cute little gift

tied with jute and put in

a small burlap bag ~



I love how they look in my tree ❤

Graphics Fairy Brag Monday ~

I just discovered your Blog and I'm soooo glad I did.
I had my eye on those @ PB and they are sold out. However I like yours much better so I will try making my own.
BTW,.... I have posted about this on my Blog and actually put one of your photos on there with a link back to your Blog, so I hope you don't mind. If you do, please let me know.
Thanks again Lori for sharing your creative ideas.
Happy Holidays to you :-)

Wow how I love that vintage look and with the burlap bag, awesome.
Thx so much for the wonderful tutorial. Can do so much with the idea for different seasons or just as a decoration in a room. Love it, love it. I feel so lucky finding all the wonderful blogs and links to them. We don't have a Pottery Barn here, (or lots of other great stores). but I get to see them online thru all the awesome blogs.

senior papercrafter said...

I forgot to ask where I can get that German glitter? Wish I'd known about these music ornaments before as I sure would have made some. I made at least 50 paper ornaments as gifts for family and friends. Thanks again.

HI Lori I came across your blog again thru a link from whom else: the fantastic Graphics Fairy. Wow you two really keep us crafting.
Think I'll be making lots of these for Christmas this year. Have to find where can get that awesome glitter you use.
This time I'M gonna subscribe so I'm not missing all your glorious projects. Will try to find Christmas music sheets. Happy weekend.
