Monogrammed Glass Ornament {Filled with Sheet Music}

December 21, 2012 By Erin Spain 9 Comments

Loving these DIY monogrammed glass ornaments! These would make the perfect gift, and they're easy to make too!

Are you looking for a fun, thoughtful gift idea for a loved one? Or maybe you just want to make a keepsake for your family’s Christmas tree. Today I am sharing my Monogrammed Glass Ornament {Filled with Sheet Music.} This is a great gift idea, and the good news is, it’s easy to make!

What you’ll need:

  • Glass ornament
  • Glass paint or Multi-Surface Craft Paint
  • Paint Dauber
  • Adhesive Alphabet Stencils
  • Sheet Music (I downloaded and printed mine from the Graphics Fairy, but you could also buy some at a thrift store.)
  • Thread or thin ribbon. (I used gold.)
  • Rubbing alcohol

First, cut up your sheet music into long strips, and loosely curl them up. Open up your ornament and place the scrolled up sheet music strips inside.

Clean your ornament with rubbing alcohol to make sure there isn’t any residue or anything that will keep the stencil from sticking or paint from adhering properly.

Place your stencil onto the front of your ornament. I used a monogram letter and also two little leaf stencils on each side. These are Martha Stewart glass stencils and can be found at Michaels. I love them because they are adhesive so they stay in place, and you can use them over and over again. (Tip: While I painted mine, I made a makeshift ornament stand out of a small ring cut from a paper towel holder. It held the ornament in place for me so it didn’t roll around.)

Create a monogrammed ornament with glass paint.

Dab the paint on with the paint dauber, and remove the stencils quickly while the paint is still wet. Stick the top back on your ornament, and tie some pretty ribbon to create a loop.

Give it as a gift, or keep it for yourself!

    How cute! i’d have to add a dash of glitter inside, because that’s how I roll. 🙂 Love the red, Erin!

    This is a lovely idea. I made my own decorations this year using pine cones. 🙂

    I saw a really cute picture of these glass ornaments. Instead of music inside the bauble it was filled with fake snow and on top of the snow sat a carrot shaped piece of orange cardboard, two small buttons, and a tiny scarf. It all looked like a melted snowman. It was so cute!It was kind of like this: http://folksy.com/items/3810286-Melted-Snowan-Christmas-Bauble-Decoration I planned on making them but I couldn’t find the baubles:(

    Thanks so much for this cute post! I have been searching for something very inexpensive to make for the members of my husbands choir. Last year I gave them all a jar of homemade jelly. Now this might start a tradition and every year they will get a different ornament which will make gift giving much easier than searching and searching for some idea of what I can make for so many at a reasonable cost. And I think I can make some for our tree or maybe a bowl of them to put on the piano. Thanks again!!
