Repurposing and reusing items for other reasons can be fun as well as useful. Piano sheet music looks great and can jazz up any setting in a number of ways. You can use it for decorations or other ideas. It's great to use for bringing the shabby chic theme to life, which involves a lot of vintage touches in soft colors.
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.
You could further distress the piece to really get the right feeling of shabby chic and vintage. You could also purchase an antiquing stain, which is easily found at any hardware. The beauty of staining is that it will randomly soak into parts of the paper, create aged spots that have a wonderful effect.
When it's Christmas, there are so many things you can do with sheet music, but carol sheet music makes it even more festive. You can make a paper wreath by rolling sheets into cones, starting at the corner. Snip off the ends of some cones to make different sizes for various layers. Get a circular base or cut one out of cardboard and begin gluing each cone around the edge of the circle.
Glue the cones side by side in different layers until you have completely covered the circle base. The end result is a beautiful musical star. You can add a special decoration to the middle to finish the wreath, or simply tie a huge bow out of red fabric for a finishing touch that matches the season. Be extra dramatic by aging the pages in the oven or with a tea stain before you begin.
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.
You could create simple but effective gifts for friends using sheet music. Here's an idea: why not make some place mats for a couple's anniversary using larger sheets of paper? Laminate or age them for a great finish and you have a thoughtful gift that works so well in a vintage-themed or monochrome room. This could even be done inexpensively for a wedding, and use the wedding song for the music for something intimate.
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.
