Items needed:
Sheet music (we found some at the thrift store)
Scissors
Decoupage
Paint brush
Wooden (flat, shaped like a ball ornament) wood pieces
Pen
Misc decor - trimmings for around edge, mini bows,etc.
Silver or Gold thread and needle
Glue of your choice
Note: If you cannot find wooden ornament pieces, you could use recycled cardboard, or craft foam to create the backing.
Step 1: Trace wooden piece on sheet music and cut out sheet music.
Step 2: Using paintbrush, spread a very thin layer of decoupage onto wood piece and gently smooth sheet paper on top. Allow to completely dry.
Step 3: Using paintbrush, add a very thin layer of decoupage to the top of sheet music. Allow to dry.
Step 4: Glue trimmings (optional) around ornament edge and allow to dry (we used waxed paper for a work surface). A glue gun and glue stick works best for this step.
Step 5: Add embellishments and allow to dry if glue is used.
Step 6: Thread silver string and run through top hole of ornament, knot off and tie for a hanger.

Wonderful idea; could also be done with the sheet music of one's favorite tune. When I had my daycare, I had the kids put Elmer's glue (I put a spot of it on a paper plate for them) onto the petals of a pine cone. Then we sprinkled it with glitter of the child's choice and they had a keepsake to take home for their tree. The kids were 2, 3 and 4, and the projects turned out better than I expected, probably because I only gave them a little bit of glue and glitter to begin with. Otherwise, chaos... LOL
God bless.
