Happy Black Friday

(something about that sounds so weird?…)
Hope you all still have all ten fingers & ten toes!!
You know, if you started off with that many 😉
I skipped the mayhem this year.
For one, we do not need a single thing.
And two, my hubby was under the weather the last few days and his crud has crept on over to me.
Now, I feel as if I swallowed broken glass.
So fun! Yay.
No big actually, it’s been worse.
Plus, the sun it out today, so it’s not all bad. {smile}
It has been a whirlwind around here and quite frankly, I’m not sure where to start?
Let’s see… I have finished my Christmas mantle
(well sort of… I took it down to put up a simple, Thanksgiving mantle and I just have to pop it back up) and the vintage sheet music garland has been glittered (because thankfully, we got a break in the rain!).
I’ve also been thrifting my booty off so I have lots of goodies to share. Then, I managed to have some fun with mini bottle brush trees… and, we’ve hosted Thanksgiving.
So hmm… what makes sense?
I guess catch up, right?
Hope So, Because Here We Go…
I have to start somewhere.

 

Vintage sheet music garland.
Simple-Fast-Easy
You will need;
 1. Sheet music
 2. Glue, tape, double sticky tape, stapler or glue gun.
3. Scissors.
4. Vintage Mica Snow or Glitter. You can find similar here (affiliate link)
5. Spray glue if using glitter.

 

  • Use 2 sheets to make approx. 60″ of garland. I picked up a whole book for 50 cents at an estate sale. It has double sided pages.
  •  Cut the sheets into strips the width of a single page, then (I glued) them into circles with my glue gun. I then attached every other one to each other at the seam. That cuts down on seams showing on every single circle. I prefer that.
  •  Three, (if desired) lightly spray with glue and sprinkle with glitter of choice. I did this over a paper plate so I could keep re-using the excess glitter. It really doesn’t take much, and then I pour the glitter back in the container!
Now, it’s all glimmery & shimmery!
Just how I wanted it.

It’s beginning to look a lot like
CHRISTMAS
Hope you’re feeling merry and you enjoyed this quick and easy garland making tutorial.
Vintage sheet music isn’t necessary..
but I sure like the results.

    I love this. Simple and elegant. The mica flakes are what puts it over the top!! Gorgeous and sparkly. Love this whole vignette.

    I sure like this – but I’m down to two sheets of vintage music and I have this weird problem where I can’t use up any one supply completely! I’ll have to look for some more, because I SO want this for my Christmas decor.
