Materials

  • 2–3 sheets of vintage or printed music paper (8.5x11 inches)
  • Scissors or paper cutter
  • Glue stick or hot glue gun
  • Fine silver or gold glitter (1 small jar)
  • Clear-drying craft glue (30 ml)
  • Small paintbrush

Instructions

  • Cut your music sheets into long strips about 1x6 inches each. Slightly ink or smudge the edges with brown if you want a more antique look.
  • Take one strip, form it into a circle, and glue the ends together. Then thread the next strip through it before closing the loop to start forming your chain.
  • Mix a small amount of craft glue with a bit of water to thin it slightly. You can use your paintbrush to coat the outer edges of each paper ring.
  • Sprinkle glitter along the glued edges while it’s still wet, tapping off any excess. Let the garland dry completely on wax paper to prevent sticking.
  • Once dry, drape your garland across the Christmas tree, along a mantel, or around a doorway. The shimmering music notes will catch the light beautifully, filling your space with that old-world festive charm that never goes out of tune.
