Diy Sheet Music Garland

I wanted to show you how I made this simple garland to drape over the piano

Materials

nylon string or twine

copies of sheet music

fabric

wooden dowel

rubber band

Basically I started out by finding sheet music images on the internet. Then I printed out 3 copies. I folded each in half and cut with scissors. I took a left over wooden dowel or even a pencil would work and rolled the sheet all the way up and secured with a rubber band.

Next, I took an old curtain and cut strips of fabric. You can use anything that you have around the house. Tea towels work great!

Now, take your twine and measure out how much you need to hang across where you are placing it.

I literally used masking tape and taped it down on my runner on top of the piano. I took the one end of twine and slid it through the rubber band of the rolled sheet music and evenly spaced out.

In the empty space add the strips of fabric. You could tie it on the twine or if you know how to, make a rag garland knot.

For a finished look, I cut small strips of fabric or you could even use ribbon on hand to cover the rubber band.

That’s it!

FRENCH COUNTRY HUTCH DIY

This traditional style hutch was here when we bought our house. It originally had a mirrored back. At first, this didn’t bother me too much until Pinterest happened. It seemed like everyone was chalk painting their hutches. I didn’t want to change the whole look, but I did want to get rid of the dated mirrored back. So what do you think I did? Chalkboard paint baby! This small investment in an $11.00 paint was worth a shot. It was scary at the first coat of paint because it looked like it wasn’t going to work. I decided to press on. Guess what? It worked! I will take at least 3 coats of paint. The next step was to take the glass out of the doors so I could view the decorations better. Here are a few close up photos of my decor.

Pick a theme 2. Choose a color 3. Use unexpected items PICK A THEME Let your imagination go wild! Think of a hobby you like or get inspiration from nature.
