3-D Vintage Sheet Music Ornaments
Every year we make at least one new Christmas ornament and my goal is always that it be pretty, of course, but it must also be EASY. Christmas is not the time to be tearing your hair out over complicated crafts (in my world, that is!). This music sheet ornament fits the bill - but I think they go way beyond pretty!
I was gifted with vintage sheet music from my mother-in-law a few years ago and since then I've made a Christmas wreath, wrapped some cones with it for sheet music 'trees' and this year I wanted to add some ornaments into the mix. I just love how they turned out!
I'm sharing the basics here and you can find a more detailed tutorial on my blog (link at the end of this post).

These are not only easy, but are quick and almost free (basically, the cost of a couple glue sticks...).
Find an ornament pattern you like (a link to the pattern I used can be found on my blog - link at bottom), cut out 20 layers total for each ornament, fold in half and staple. Then it's a matter of fanning out the 'pages' and applying dots of glue with a glue gun until it's fairly even (we're never aiming for perfection here!).
You can make the ornaments any size - smaller to hang on a tree, or even larger than mine, which I plan to use in the center of a wreath or hanging from a garland.

Very pretty. Lots of different looks could be had using scrapbooking papers. Looks like I need to visit Hobby Lobby.
