Creative Ways To Use Piano Sheet Music

By Amy Clark


There are lots of ways to use something for ideas other than its intended purpose. Piano sheet music is very visually pleasing and can be used in a number of different creative ways to make decorations or bring other ideas to life. The aesthetic is very much in line with current 'shabby chic' trend, which is a soft and ethereal nod to a vintage or rustic style.

A really beautiful item to have in the home or studio is a piece of furniture that has sheet music printed on it or transferred onto the surface itself. Find an old table, side table or sideboard that can be transformed and given a new breath of life. Using Mod Podge, the sheets of paper with musical notes can be decoupaged onto the wood of the table.

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.

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.

Go around the edge of the circle and glue down the cones side by side until the base has disappear. It looks very much like a star burst. Use a sparkly decoration in the center to finish off the wreath or even tie a fabric bow in a deep red hue to match the season. Create even more drama by aging the pages before you begin, which can be done by "baking" the paper, or by tea staining or a watered down stain wash.

Music paper can also be used to create cute little ornaments, again particularly effective during the festive season. Create papier mache ornaments for the tree in different shapes and sizes, such as little boxes wrapped in ribbon like gifts or unique baubles decorated with scroll patterns in glitter. These are also very fun for children to get involved with and help make.

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.
