There are lots of ways to use something for ideas other than its intended purpose. Piano sheet music is very visually pleasing and can be used in a number of different creative ways to make decorations or bring other ideas to life. The aesthetic is very much in line with current 'shabby chic' trend, which is a soft and ethereal nod to a vintage or rustic style.
You could get an old piece of furniture, like a table, and repurpose it using sheet music to create something entirely different. Transfer the paper to the table using Mod Podge, which is called decoupage. This works great for side tables or sideboards that can be accent pieces.
You could further distress the piece to really get the right feeling of shabby chic and vintage. You could also purchase an antiquing stain, which is easily found at any hardware. The beauty of staining is that it will randomly soak into parts of the paper, create aged spots that have a wonderful effect.
Use carol sheet music at Christmas time to create a fantastic paper wreath. Fold each page from the corner to create a cone type of shape, using one standard size, or two or three sizes to create different layers and depth to the piece. Glue the largest cones side by side onto the edge of a circular base, which can be as simple as a cardboard cut out or something sturdier like wood.
Keep going around and adding more cones until the circle is completely hidden. The wreath will look like a fantastic starburst of music. Finish off the center of the wreath with a great ornament like a snowflake or tie a huge bow in a rich color like red for the season. To create an even more dramatic effect, age the pieces of paper before beginning, either by using a light stain wash or watercolor wash, or by "baking" the paper for a crispy, aged effect.
Music paper makes for great DIY ornaments, which are especially effective during Christmas. Papier mache tree ornaments are easy to make and they can be done in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Try making little gift boxes with ribbon bows to hang on the tree, or paste the paper onto baubles and trace patterns over them in glitter. Kids in particular will love this type of project.
There are some really unique and wonderful gifts that can be made using this type of paper, that are also useful. For example, what about creating placemats for the dining table using large sheets of piano music? This would work beautifully with a vintage or monochrome themed room and is very easy to create with a little laminating or chic finish. It could even be part of wedding decor for the reception using the couple's wedding song for a personal touch.
Another great way to add a personal touch to a rustic decor for a wedding would be to use the music of the couple's favorite songs to wrap mason jars containing candles. These could be used to line the bride's walkway or at the reception as part of a centerpiece. They could also be used throughout the venue as accent decor.
