Spring has come with it's lovely breathe of brand new life and dreams and whispers of music. Music that giggles over the stream, flirts with the daffodil, and wafts in my window. The music of robins and raspy stretching throats in small round nests.
I wanted to bring a touch of music into our apartment, so when I stopped at a second hand bookstore one rainy day, I checked out their music section and found the perfect thing....yellowed, mellowed, sheet music.
An empty maple syrup jar, Modge Podge, and a small paint brush, completed my project. You can either use real Modge Podge or make your own by mixing one part Elmer's glue with one part water. The homemade stuff tends to be slightly inferior to the real stuff, but it does work.
You are ready to start! Tear your sheet music into pieces, and brush the back side of each piece with Modge Podge.
I like rather long narrow strips best, where you can actually read some words. Small pieces are nice also, if you have no words.
Cover the entire surface of your jar with music pieces, overlapping their edges.
Super simple. Super fun.
Tie a bit or burlap string, ribbon or lace around the neck. I put a flower in mine to add some color, but since you won't want to wash this vase, branches or artificial flowers would work best.
Dreaming of summer
Happy crafting!
