Sheet Music Envelopes & Confetti


On Sunday, I spent my evening working on making envelopes out of a Sheet Music magazine for Standard Piano/Guitar from October 1987.  I was hoping to find some real vintage sheet music, but this was the closest I could find.  

The magazine features these songs: Elmer's Tune, Frenesi, I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You, Perfidia, Racing With The Moon, Stompin' At The Savoy, Maria Elena, You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You.

I don't have a photo tutorial because these were pretty straightforward to construct, although a little time consuming.  I cut the pages down to size and used my Martha Stewart Scoring Board for directions to make the envelopes.  

What I really like about these envelopes is that portions of the lyrics are included with the music notes, so it really makes them unique and can be a fun conversation starter.

Do you like my envelopes but don't have time to make your own?  I have them for sale in my Etsy shop.  


The sheet music envelopes are a little larger than standard 4-bar envelopes (not sure how it ended up 1/2" wider than 4-bar envelopes, I think the scoring board has an error

Home is Wherever Mom is - Wall Plaque


I saw a print (I believe on Etsy.. but I didn't bookmark it so I can't find it now) that had a quote that said "Home is Where Mom Is" and I thought it would be great to make a wall plaque with that saying to gift to my mom!  Instead I made it say "wherever" mom is because I like how it looked better.

This is a quickie tutorial since it's mostly self-explanatory, but let me know if you have any questions!  I'm hoping to make another since I'm not 100% happy with how this turned out (it just didn't quite match my vision).  

Items needed:
-Wooden Plaque (purchased at craft store)
-Craft Paint 
-Paint Brush
-Sharpie
-Printer for lettering (or you can freehand)
-Wood stain for distressing (or darker paint - or omit this step)
