Today I want to share my SHEET MUSIC TREE ORNAMENTS and how I made them.
SUPPLIES I USED:
Hot glue gun & glue
Scissors
A sheet of music
Glitter
White glue
String
2 plates
2 center decorations (I used Santa graphics)
SIZE
I cut my sheet music the size I wanted my finished ornament to be.
Above is an example of the size I made compared to the page of the sheet music.
FOLDING
I accordion folded the cut piece of paper.
STRING
I tied my folded accordion section in the middle with
a string that my ornament was going to hang from.
HOT GLUE GUN
I folded the accordion in half and hid the string between the two sides as they come together. I then hot glued it together.
Next I hot glued the other side together pressing
the last two edges together forming a full circle.

I tied the ends of the string together and trim the length.

even type out a tag saying:

and use it as a gift tag
GLITTER
I poured a good amount of glitter on a plate in a pile.
GLUE
I poured a good amount of glue on another plate.
(The amber colored stuff on the plate is old dried glue.)

GLITTERED EDGE
Between my fingers I roll my Santa graphic
in the glue, coating the edges. Then moving over to the
glitter plate I rolled the Santa graphic in the glitter.

Once I was done I set it a side to dry and repeated the
steps to create a second center decoration for the back side.
You can also do different pictures front and back for a different look depending what side you want to show.
MORE GLITTER I did the same steps with the sheet music fan circle.
I rolled the edge in the glue, then in my glitter.
ATTACHED THE CENTERSOnce the glitter and glue was dried, I then hot glued the Santa Graphics to the centers of my circle fan ornament
1 side then the other.
I hung my Sheet Music Ornament on our tree,
but they could also embellish a present, hang in a window,
and depending on what you might put in the center they
could be used in your home year round.
