There are lots of ways to use something for ideas other than its intended purpose. Piano sheet music is very visually pleasing and can be used in a number of different creative ways to make decorations or bring other ideas to life. The aesthetic is very much in line with current 'shabby chic' trend, which is a soft and ethereal nod to a vintage or rustic style.

A great piece of furniture with sheet music print can be a real conversation piece in the home and is easy to do by yourself. Get a side table or coffee table to repurpose and give it a few more years of good use. Decoupage the music paper onto the table using Mod Podge to get the print sealed.

Distress the item a little to really create an authentic look that is vintage. There are antique stains available in most home stores that will finish the piece of furniture off beautifully. The stain will also seep into different parts of the paper and the random dark spots will have a lovely aged finish.

Christmas time is a great time to use sheet music to decorate, especially if it is carols. Create an awesome wreath out of the paper by rolling each sheet into a conical shape from the corner. Snip of the ends of some of the cones to get shorter cones and use them to layer up in a circular shape. Use a wooden circle base or simply cut one out of cardboard for an inexpensive alternative.

Glue the cones side by side in different layers until you have completely covered the circle base. The end result is a beautiful musical star. You can add a special decoration to the middle to finish the wreath, or simply tie a huge bow out of red fabric for a finishing touch that matches the season. Be extra dramatic by aging the pages in the oven or with a tea stain before you begin.

Music paper makes for great DIY ornaments, which are especially effective during Christmas. Papier mache tree ornaments are easy to make and they can be done in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Try making little gift boxes with ribbon bows to hang on the tree, or paste the paper onto baubles and trace patterns over them in glitter. Kids in particular will love this type of project.

Make gifts out of this kind of paper that people will be able to use as well as enjoy visually. One example is to make dining room place mats using larger sheets of paper printed with music. It's a great gift for a wedding or anniversary couple and works well in a properly themed environment. Place mats out of music paper can even be used in a wedding as part of the decor. Use the couple's song for an extra touch.

You can add a personal touch to any wedding by collecting the music of the couple's top songs together. Wrap the paper around mason jars that have candles in them. Line the walkway for the bride with the mason jars or use them on the tables with the centerpieces. In fact, this type of accent works great throughout the venue as part of the general decor when placed strategically.
