A Music Wreath

It seems that the Sheet Music Wreaths

are very popular this year.

I first saw one done by Miss Mustard Seed,

and later by Musings from a French Cottage.

Here is my version:

Start with some sheet music.

Tear out pages and cut them in half.

Roll them into cone shapes.

Hot glue them to a styrofoam circle, beginning at 12, 3, 6, 9 o'clock

and then filling in.
Repeat on top with smaller cones.

Then you have to decide on a center piece on the front.

I tried a wadded up ball shape...

Nope.

Then a convex mirror on burlap.

Nope again.

Then I saw one with tiny cones in the center at a flea market
and decided that was perfect for me.


Attach a black ribbon on the back, and
voilà!



Mine hangs above my piano....
appropriate for me, don't ya think?
I already had everything, so all it cost was $2.60 for the styrofoam!


Here's what I learned from this project....
It's a little more tedious than you would think.
For my wreath, I used half sheets and the wreath ended up with a diameter
of about 18 inches.
If you use full sheets, that thing will be huge!
Experiment with the size.
Some people leave them open in the middle, some don't.
