If you are like me and you make a lot of your Christmas decorations, the beginning of November always signals that it’s time to get those projects going! Sooo…I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you…and they are all made with some form of sheet music! It just says Christmas to me…so simple, yet beautiful! Here are eight fun and easy ways you can add sheet music to your Christmas decorations! 1. COVER JARS TO CREATE CANDLE HOLDERS All you need is a few old jars, some frenchy sheet music (mine came from The Graphics Fairy) and a few little finishing touches to create these VINTAGE FRENCH SHEET MUSIC CANDLES! I love the glow they add! 2. ADD IT TO A CENTERPIECE Folded trees made from scrapbooking paper sheet music add the perfect touch to my SHABBY CHRISTMAS CENTERPIECE. The trees are so easy that the kiddos can help with this one! 3. MAKE A FOREST OF TINY TREES Sheet music themed scrapbooking paper was once again the medium for these EASY VINTAGE PAPER TREES. I made them in several sizes and added them to a small silver tray. And here's another version that is topped off with a tiny glittery star. Love it! 4. CREATE A WREATH This one is my favorite...a SHEET MUSIC WREATH! A book of vintage sheet music found at Goodwill supplied more than enough material to make this beauty. It was the star of a sheet music themed Christmas mantel one year but I will tell you a secret...I love it so much that it stays out all year long! 5. DECOUPAGE SOME CANDLES Here is another project from my music-themed Christmas mantel...these POTTERY BARN INSPIRED SHEET MUSIC CANDLES. They were so easy to make and waaaay less expensive! 6. ADD IT TO ORNAMENTS Once again, here's an idea from my Goodwill sheet music stash...SHEET MUSIC CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS! They still pop up occasionally in my dough bowl arrangements all year 'round. 7. MAKE CANDLE COVERS A few vases from Dollar Tree and a print-out of some Medieval sheet music (provided in the post) are almost all that you need for these WISTERIA INSPIRED SHEET MUSIC CANDLES. The script for the little tags is included as well. 8. MAKE ORIGAMI STARS Here's one that I am working on for this year...fun origami stars! I'm experimenting with vintage sheet music and print-outs on aged paper. I will share the result with you when it's ready but think ornaments and garlands! And there you have it...my favorite ways to use sheet music at Christmas! And stay tuned because I'm just getting started! Thanks for stopping by!

This blog is overdue. In January I wanted to update my blog with some Christmas gifts I received and also some I made. But, a grandbaby, miniature event and several other things have pushed this out so now I am getting it done (diorama ornaments follow below). Christmas gifts from my sweet daughters: Mixer from Chelsie & Brad Ceramic vase from Cara (age 17) My gifts to both of them were ornaments with scenes inside. I was inspired by a friend who had shown me some she had made. she had put cute quarter inch scale Christmas scenes inside a full size ornament: Charlotte Serrold's Christmas Ornament So Charlotte inspired me to make some. Here are the ones I made my girls. They are not very traditional in colors but I made them to fit their tastes: Chelsie's Ornament front Chelsie's Ornament back Chelsie's ornament has little dolls representing her (pregnant) self and her husband, Brad. Also quarter inch scale cat and dog just like their own pets. I reproduced her Christmas wreath and (loosely) the Christmas stockings Brad's mother made them. The back of the ornament has a decoupaged scene cut from an old Christmas card. Cara's ornament front Cara's ornament side view Cara's ornament in one of her favorite colors (purple) depicts her doing her favorite thing - sitting with a fire and a blanket with one cat on her lap and the other at her feet. She also loves nutcrackers so I included a tiny one by the fireplace. HERE'S THE TUTORIAL PART: These ornaments were fun to make so I will just briefly tell how I decorated and filled them. The papier mache ornaments were from Hobby Lobby. I cut an opening in them. The double round one was actually plastic underneath the paper mache so a little harder to cut. I painted the inside with Gesso then two colors of glitter. I cut a piece of foam core to make a base for the furniture to sit on. The little figures were just pipe cleaner wrapped with silk ribbon and painted. I used a small bead for the pregnant belly. I used scraps of fabric to dress the 'dolls'. Really just wrapped the arms and legs for sleeves and pants then cut tiny slits in another piece and worked it over the sleeves for the shirt. Seams were glued down the back. The sofa and chair were from a kit from Karen Benson The little figures and chairs. Quarter inch scale is not my specialty! Here is a closer look at one of them. These were fun to make. I really want to do some more next year. Hope you are inspired to try some too!

En sød lille idé oprindeligt fundet på Artsonia. Et fint lille projekt, jeg har kørt med mit værkstedshold. Første gang malede vi akvarelpapiret (Det var opstarten, så tiden var meget knap). Anden gang havde jeg lavet nogle cirkelformede søgerammer. Børnene valgte gode områder af deres akvarel, tegnede op og klippede ud. På sort kardus tegnede
