This year I was really itching to make some handmade ornaments. I ended up making several so I decided to hold an ORNAMENT DAY!!! I will be posting all of my ornaments all day long today. I’m not re-inventing the wheel here but I do LOVE how all of my ornaments turned out and I can’t wait to show them all off!

Since I am obviously in love with sheet music I knew that I had to make a sheet music ornament. These ornaments take quite a bit of time and patience to execute, but it’s so worth it! They have such a cool vintage feel to them.

I added some silver sparkle to the hangers on the top….because doesn’t glitter make everything better? Well in my world it does. The combination of vintage and sparkle is perfection!

Don’t they all look so pretty piled up in this old silver bowl together!

I will be posting more of my handmade ornaments all day today, so keep checking back for more ornament goodness!

It’s in great condition and I just LOVE the lines and curves! Just not a BIG fan of the oak. I’m sure every time I paint wood furniture a little part of my husband dies inside! He is oh so supportive though and usually ends up loving my finished product!

There was a notch cut out all around the top of the table that made me want to do something to the top. It sat in my garage for a bit while I thought it over. Sometimes I just have to let projects sit for a bit while I make up my mind. It finally came to me that I wanted to use sheet music. There is a good amount of sheet music floating around the blog world these days and for good reason! It’s beautiful!

I decided to tea stain my sheet music. Ideally I would have a huge stack of beautiful antique sheet music with just the perfect amount of aging. Until I can figure out how to make the world perfect, I have to stick to tea staining my paper!

I painted the table heirloom white by Rustoleum. I really love this color, it’s such a beautiful creamy white!! I used some polycrylic on top of the paint once it was fully dry. This will give it a little shine and protect it from whatever my family can throw at it (hopefully).

Once all the papers were dry it was time to add them to the table. First I got it all laid out and cut how I wanted it. I am trying to be a more patient worker, measure twice and cut once right??? I used my ole stand by, Mod Podge, to attach the sheet music.

I am very happy with the way that it all turned out!!! It’s probably strange how much I L O V E some of my projects, but I just can’t help it! This is definitely one that I will be cherishing for a long time!!! And because I can’t get enough of it….here’s one last shot…..

Hope you enjoy my table as much as I do!!!
