Sheet Music Roses Tutorial

My tutorial for this week is....

Sheet Music Paper Roses!


Here's what you need: 

Supplies:
-Sheet Music
-Silhouette (optional, or just scissors)
-Pen
-Tea, kettle, flat pan
-Hot Glue
-Glass bottle
-Spray Paint
-Fabric & cord scraps

Steps:
Step 1: Prepare your sheet music. I wanted my flowers to look more antique, so I dyed the sheet music using tea.  Pour some hot water onto tea bags in a flat pan and let them tea seep for a bit.

 Step 2: Soak your sheet music pages in the tea for a few minutes, and then take them out and let them dry. I laid them out on a cookie sheet while they dried.



Step 3: While the paper is drying, prepare your vase for the flowers. I just spray painted a glass snapple bottle. 


Step 4: After the sheet music has dried, load it into your silhouette and cut out the 3D paper rose shape.  Don't have a silhouette? You can just cut it out using scissors, the shape is not that difficult.



Step 5: Form the roses by rolling the paper cutout tightly around a pencil or pen. I added a dab of hot glue occasionally so they would keep their shape better.




Step 6: I made the stems for the flowers by twisting two pieces of green wire together, and then hot gluing it to the inside of the flower. 



Step 7: Add any decorative touches to the flower vase. I just hot-glued a scrap of fabric around it and tied a piece of twine on top.

Don't mind my crappy spray paint job. This was my first time spray painting. And it was windy. Do a better job for me, k??

Then stick your flowers in the vase, and you are good to go!!



Prettyyyyy. I'll be linking up to all the link parties listed in my header!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Do you have any suggestions on where to find cheap sheet music?

    ReplyDelete
  49. try a thrift store/yard sales...probably your best bet! or just ask some musical friends if they have any they dont want.

  56. These are so pretty, and the painted glass jar is a great idea for a vase too.

    ReplyDelete
  57. For those of us new to this sort of thing, could you please explain a "Silouette" although I'm assuming it is some sort of plastic template?
    And pretty please, who makes them? I love this idea, and transferable to other aterials, too!

    ReplyDelete
  58. your tutorial is SUPER cute, but it seems kind of vague... you should have a template link or something for the rose shape, i dont think alot of people will know right off the top of their head what kind of shape to cut out for them. i dont mean this to be rude, by the way, i really do like it, i just thought i should tell you what i thought. :D

    ReplyDelete
  59. Such a great idea!!! Very cute!!
    Fantastic! I am thinking of using colorful paper.

  60. Soak your sheet music pages in the tea for a few minutes,

    ReplyDelete
  61. These music sheet roses looks so pretty, they would have looked a lot prettier in red or black though as ones at https://topelectricdrumsets.com site. I wonderwhy you ruined your music sheet for this peice of art, rather than using newspaper.

  62. Collection of my favorite ringtone in 2018
    Hi everybody
    Do you have any favorite music? What music do you use to make ringtones for your phone? I usually use Dance music to create the best ringtone for my phone. I like strong music. Dance helps me stay alert and relaxed. You can visit my homepage to see more ringtones here: Ringtone 2018

    Here are the examples I mentioned for you to reference and install:

    - Dil Diyan Gallan ringtones
    - Devak Kalji Re ringtones
    - Tere Dar Par Sanam ringtones
    - Magenta Riddim ringtones
    - Laung Laachi ringtones

    Hope my collection will bring a new look to the ringtone. I need your opinion. Thank you!
