8 Crafts To Make With Old Sheet Music

August 19, 2015 by Larissa Coleman

Music is a universal language that speaks to the soul. For many people, it’s an integral part of their lives. Whether you’re a musician, music lover, or simply appreciate the beauty of musical notes and lyrics, sheet music is a classic piece of decor that can add a touch of nostalgia and elegance to any space.

Sheet music has been used for many years to inspire creativity and artistic expression. From song lyrics to sheet music notes, it’s a treasure trove of inspiration for crafting. It’s versatile and can be used in many different ways to create unique and personalized decor items.

In this article, we’ve compiled a list of 8 different crafts that can be made using old sheet music or copies of such. Each craft is unique and will add a touch of musical charm to any space.

The first craft on our list is a paper wreath made from sheet music. This is a simple yet elegant way to add a touch of musical charm to your home decor. All you need is a foam wreath form, some sheet music, and a hot glue gun. Cut the sheet music into strips and then wrap them around the wreath form, securing them in place with hot glue.

Another great craft to make with sheet music is a set of DIY paper flowers. These flowers can be used to create a centerpiece, a bouquet, or simply placed in a vase. All you need is some sheet music, a pair of scissors, and some floral wire. Cut the sheet music into strips and then fold them accordion-style. Twist the floral wire around the center of the folded paper to create a stem, and then carefully unfold the paper to create the petals.

Other crafts include sheet music coasters, decoupage furniture, wall art, and more. These crafts are all great ways to add a touch of musical charm to your home decor and make use of old sheet music in a fun and creative way.

In conclusion, sheet music is a classic piece of decor that can add a touch of nostalgia and elegance to any space.

35 Creative Ways to Make Bowls from Recycled Materials – Genius Eco-Friendly DIYs You Can Actually Use

You know that super satisfying moment when you make something beautiful and save it from going in the trash? That’s the vibe I live for—and honestly, recycled bowl crafts hit that sweet spot perfectly. Whether you’re upcycling old magazines, leftover fabric, broken vinyl records, or even plastic toy animals (yes, really), turning trash into treasure has never looked so good on a shelf or coffee table.

I started making recycled bowls during a rainy weekend when I was stuck at home with a hot glue gun and a guilt-inducing stash of craft leftovers. I figured I’d try a fabric scrap bowl just to feel productive, but before I knew it, I was experimenting with egg cartons, paper mache, and even confetti (it totally works!). Not only did I end up with a bunch of adorable little storage solutions, but my house looked like an Anthropologie knock-off… in the best way.

This roundup is full of creative ways to make bowls using things you probably already have lying around. And here’s the best part: most of these projects are low-cost, kid-friendly, and shockingly therapeutic. There’s something about shaping something with your hands that’s just good for the soul, especially when it’s helping the planet too.

Whether you’re looking to tidy up your space, need a thoughtful handmade gift, or just want an excuse to use up those crafting leftovers, these recycled bowl ideas are going to be your new obsession. I mean, who knew an old LP record could become a funky chip bowl? Or that fabric scraps could look so chic?

Personally, I’ve used mine to hold jewelry, snacks, keys, cotton balls in the bathroom—you name it. They’ve even made it into my gift baskets and craft fair booth. And every time someone asks where I got them, I get to proudly say, “Oh, I made it. From trash.”

So grab a balloon, some glue, that crumpled-up magazine you’ve been meaning to recycle, and let’s get crafting. I guarantee you’ll be looking at your recycling bin a little differently after this. If you end up making any of these, tag me—I’d love to see what kind of gorgeous bowls you whip up!
