The perfect mix of vintage nostalgia with a sweet handmade touch, we’ll show you how to make 3-dimensional Christmas ornaments using lovely printed sheet music.
Sheet Music Ornaments Craft
Having recently packed up my whole house to move to a new house two-hours away, I was careful with the pieces I chose to keep. Although it was hard to let go of things that I had saved for years, it was also the perfect opportunity to reset and declutter. And wouldn’t you know it, I came across a stack of old Christmas music sheets from my husband’s childhood! Those sure would have come in handy while making these 3-dimensional sheet music ornaments last year!

Instead, my sister Jane and I printed off music sheets we found online to make these pretty Christmas ornaments. They are similar to our retro-inspired no-sew 3D felt ornament PDF patterns except that insead of using felt sheets we used paper.

- Paper music sheet
- Ornament Cap
- 1 tbsp coffee (to distress and age the music sheets)
- Paintbrush
- Mason Jar lid, approx. 3” diameter
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Glue stick
- Hot glue gun and clear glue sticks
- Gold ribbon, cut to 12” long
How to Make 3D Sheet Music Ornaments
Using a paintbrush and quick strokes, brush coffee across the music sheet. Allow time to dry fully before proceeding. Alternatively, use a blow dryer or iron to quicken the drying time.
Once dry, place a lid on top of paper and trace the circle shape with pencil.
Cut 6 equally shaped circles.
Fold circle shapes in half.
Stack three folded circles on top of each other, gluing the shapes together. Stack another three folded circles in the same way and glue together.
Using a hot glue gun, glue the ends of the ornament cap to the top of one 3D half circle.
Glue the half circle together sandwiching the cap ends in between to form a finished 3D ornament. And lastly, loop the ribbon through the cap ring knotting the ends to form a loop for hanging.
And with that, the pretty vintage inspired music sheet ornament is complete! A set of these would look darling on a Christma tree, don’t you think?
