There are so many ways that items can be repurposed and turned into something new. Piano sheet music can be used in a multitude of ways to decorate a space or bring an item to life again. Many people use this type of decor when going with a shabby chic theme, which touches on soft, vintage appeal.
A great piece of furniture with sheet music print can be a real conversation piece in the home and is easy to do by yourself. Get a side table or coffee table to repurpose and give it a few more years of good use. Decoupage the music paper onto the table using Mod Podge to get the print sealed.
Further distressing to the piece of furniture can be done for a really authentic vintage feel. Additionally, an antique finish can be achieved with the right kind of stain, easily available most DIY or hardware stores. The stain will react with the paper and seep through in certain areas, randomly creating a beautiful aged effect.
Use carol sheet music at Christmas time to create a fantastic paper wreath. Fold each page from the corner to create a cone type of shape, using one standard size, or two or three sizes to create different layers and depth to the piece. Glue the largest cones side by side onto the edge of a circular base, which can be as simple as a cardboard cut out or something sturdier like wood.
Keep going around and adding more cones until the circle is completely hidden. The wreath will look like a fantastic starburst of music. Finish off the center of the wreath with a great ornament like a snowflake or tie a huge bow in a rich color like red for the season. To create an even more dramatic effect, age the pieces of paper before beginning, either by using a light stain wash or watercolor wash, or by "baking" the paper for a crispy, aged effect.
You can make ornaments for your Christmas tree using the music paper, as well. Papier mache some gift boxes or baubles that will last forever, varnish them and tie ribbon in bows for a final effect. You can draw on the decorations with glitter patterns. Kids love to help make these ornaments.
There are some really unique and wonderful gifts that can be made using this type of paper, that are also useful. For example, what about creating placemats for the dining table using large sheets of piano music? This would work beautifully with a vintage or monochrome themed room and is very easy to create with a little laminating or chic finish. It could even be part of wedding decor for the reception using the couple's wedding song for a personal touch.
Use the couple's favorite songs to add a personal touch to the decor for a rustic wedding by wrapping mason jars with candles in them in sheet music. Use the jars to line the aisle for the bride or on guests' tables as centerpieces. They could be placed strategically throughout the wedding venue as great accents.
