Learn how to make this sheet music Christmas tree in just minutes with these step by step instructions. A great way to add festive vintage fun to your holiday decor!
I am a sucker for sheet music — y’all probably already know that! So I am in love with this tree. When I found this on Pinterest, I was instantly inspired to make one just like it! I’ve used sheet music for other Christmas crafts, like a sheet music snowflake banner, sheet music shag tree, sheet music Christmas wreath with a sheet music ribbon.
There are so many different ways to use vintage sheet music for DIY projects. This is a great way to add something unexpected to your holiday table or to fill in an empty corner with a Christmas decoration. These can fill in the spaces on a window sill, bookcase, desk, and even on your holiday table. If you have a Christmas village, these would make a great addition, too.
These are easy to make and are so charming! I just love the rustic farmhouse vibes these little trees provide. You can make these trees as tall or as miniature as you like, so they are completely customizable.
This DIY uses vintage sheet music and a few other simple craft supplies. If you don’t have vintage sheet music, try getting some from Amazon by clicking here. Upcycling old sheet music is a wonderful way to resuse something that would otherwise be thrown away.
How to Make a Sheet Music Tree
Supplies needed to make a sheet music tree
- Vintage sheet music
- Pedestal bowl
- Hot glue
- Muslin
I started with my little pedestal bowl turned upside down. I just used hot glue and can remove the tree later if I want. You just need some sort of base to build your tree on.
I gathered up tons of sheet music. Large pages work best for this tree so skip the hymnals this time. Began rolling my pages up into cones. I started with two cones…
Then 4 cones…
Then I just kept layering them on. Different sizes, colors, music….literally whatever sheet music you have on hand.
They all came together beautifully onto the tree! See you can still see my pedestal bowl base…
I needed a “skirt” to hide the rest of the base. So I took a circle of muslin cut to size. Then hot glued on muslin strips in ruffles…you have to love sewing with hot glue.
The cones are in layers but are not perfect by any means. But they don’t need to be perfect…
Make sure the tops sort of come to a point and it will look like a tree…
My tree is TALL. I didn’t measure but I would say over 2 feet tall.
Stay tuned to see where I put this in my home. I am already working on it and love it! Have you made any sheet music trees?
