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.

Distress the item a little to really create an authentic look that is vintage. There are antique stains available in most home stores that will finish the piece of furniture off beautifully. The stain will also seep into different parts of the paper and the random dark spots will have a lovely aged finish.

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.

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.

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.

You can add a personal touch to any wedding by collecting the music of the couple's top songs together. Wrap the paper around mason jars that have candles in them. Line the walkway for the bride with the mason jars or use them on the tables with the centerpieces. In fact, this type of accent works great throughout the venue as part of the general decor when placed strategically.
