first, some dreamy chandeliers, high on my wish list...
what to do with a cute frame...upcycle it into a shabby frame with vintage sheet music!!
I started out by painting the frame heirloom white (my favorite white). This frame has cute detailing around the edge which really showed up once I painted it
then I cut a piece of sheet music to fit the inside of the frame, and glued around the edges. didn't realise quite how vintage this music book was until I had torn out the sheet...
oh well!!
I lightly sprayed the sheet music with matt varnish as I'm not using glass in this frame
cut a double layer of batting to fill out the space
covered the back with a piece of wallpaper - just used spray adhesive to secure the batting and wallpaper
hot-glued organza ribbon to the back and loosely tied it at the top
doesn't it look cute!
hanging...
or propped up against the wall
ta-da!! shabby vintage sheet music frame

What a beautiful frame! I love the idea of putting the music in it. You could personalise it more and frame music from a special occassion. It would make a great gift! xx
Love it!

I love this! So simple and chic! And the thing is, vintage sheet music like that will only get more damaged and worn sitting around doing nothing- it's great to USE the old vintage things and give them a new purpose :) Awesome job.
