I made a simple little sheet music ornament.
I bought a couple of music books from a used book store and one song happened to be "Jingle Bells". Appropriate, right?
To make the ornament, first I inserted a loop of ribbon into the top of a styrofoam ball the same as with my
pinecone map ornament. You just make a hole in the ball with scissors, make a ribbon loop and tie the end with a knot, drop some glue into the hole and push the ribbon knot firmly into the hole.
I cut the sheet music up into approximately 2 inches strips and mod podged them onto the ball in a random pattern. Make sure you go right up to the ribbon loop.
After it has dried, spray it with a sealer to make it shine and seal it (duh) from moisture. I tied a bow to the top to finish it off. Next time I think I'll tea-stain the paper before I glue it on to give it a more antique look.
