To continue on from my last post of vintage paper Christmas decorations, I have been adding old sheet music paper to ready-made basic shop purchased wood shape decorations, plus also creating 3D paper ornaments.

revamping old decorations:

For the wooden decorations, I really simply added shapes cut from old musical scores:

Decoupage:

With a plain wooden decoration I simply added torn up strips of old paper glued on with Modge Podge:

And hey presto:

3D paper Decorations DIY:

Finally, I made some 3D decorations which are really simple:

1. Cut 8 identically sized circles/shapes.  Fold all in half with a strong crease in the middle.
2. Glue one 1/2 side to the next piece, work your way all around until you have 2 pieces left to glue.
3. Add a ribbon and glue shut.  Here is a really simple video tutorial on how to make them in case the above makes no sense!

Circle shapes

Diamond shapes

Heart shapes

Very simple, but very sweet I think….

I shall be trying all sorts of shapes now.  In fact my children had better keep busily moving about or I may decoupage them….
