Been so busy these days with the kiddos...
Seems like I haven't had much time to blog,
Here's a quick tutorial on my music sheet ornaments.
I decided to decorate with golds and ivories this Christmas.
And I also decided not to spend any money on Christmas decor this year, and let me tell you it was hard, but I was able to resist temptation and not buy any!
So... I did alot of upcycling instead.
I took some old deep red Martha Stewart ornaments and transformed them.
Here's what I used for this simple project.
(along with a paper plate, brush, and bowl)
I stopped by Vintage Feed Sacks to download free vintage Christmas music sheets.
After trimming the edges I cut the sheet into strips.
What I found worked best was brushing the mod-podge onto the strip then putting it on the ornament. I also tried covering the entire ornament with mod-podge then adding the strips but that failed miserably.
Once the entire bulb was covered in strips I brushed it with a layer of mod-podge then dipped them in a bowl of glitter.
I also added a gold ribbon which made it even sweeter.
See it glisten?
This project was easy and fun. I had my little helper assist me along the way, she was the official glitter dipper.
