There are so many ways that items can be repurposed and turned into something new. Piano sheet music can be used in a multitude of ways to decorate a space or bring an item to life again. Many people use this type of decor when going with a shabby chic theme, which touches on soft, vintage appeal.
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.
Further distressing to the piece of furniture can be done for a really authentic vintage feel. Additionally, an antique finish can be achieved with the right kind of stain, easily available most DIY or hardware stores. The stain will react with the paper and seep through in certain areas, randomly creating a beautiful aged effect.
Christmas time is a great time to use sheet music to decorate, especially if it is carols. Create an awesome wreath out of the paper by rolling each sheet into a conical shape from the corner. Snip of the ends of some of the cones to get shorter cones and use them to layer up in a circular shape. Use a wooden circle base or simply cut one out of cardboard for an inexpensive alternative.
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.
Make gifts out of this kind of paper that people will be able to use as well as enjoy visually. One example is to make dining room place mats using larger sheets of paper printed with music. It's a great gift for a wedding or anniversary couple and works well in a properly themed environment. Place mats out of music paper can even be used in a wedding as part of the decor. Use the couple's song for an extra 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.
