Christmas is nearing! Today, I’m busy making sheet music ornaments as gifts for my piano students.
I found this idea from this blogger, thanks to Pinterest. Here’s my own take on this sheet music ornament idea.
Materials:
- Old sheet music paper
- Jute twine
- Black pony beads
- Scissors
- Hole puncher
- Ruler
For each ornament, I cut 12 pieces of sheet music into strips measuring 1 inch x 6.5 inches, and then punched holes at each end of the paper. I cut a length of 30 inches of jute twine, folded it in half, knotted it to create a loop, and added beads and knots at various places along with the sheet music (as described in the video). The last step is to gently pull apart the paper around to form a circular shape. I love how it turned out!
There are many ways to vary the ornament: perhaps cutting smaller strips of sheet music, cutting the paper with fancy-edged scissors, using a different type of bead, etc.
Thanks for reading.
