Vintage Music Wreath

Today I Created | A wreath using vintage sheet music

Now that Christmas is behind us, I was looking for something that hinted of Spring. I was inspired by this Winter wreath. It is beautiful and looked fairly simple. And if you scroll down to the bottom of this previous post you will see that I found almost all of the supplies at estate sales for about $3.

I noticed that the instructions said to use a 14" wreath but mine was larger so I had to make a few adjustments. I had a lot of wreath to cover. I used almost a full bag of Spanish Moss to cover the straw wreath. Luckily I had lots of sheet music and I even used pages from an old book. These were die cut into strips using the Create-a-Bow die by Eileen Hull for Sizzix.

I die cut several Flourish #2 shapes in green and adhered them with straight pins.

I liked the inspiration wreath but I wanted to include some soft Spring colors so I added silk flowers. I love how the vintage sheet music adds a nice texture to the paper.

Here is a closeup of the beautiful sheet music.
