Storybook Ornaments

December 12, 2011 ·

I’ve seen glass ornaments filled with sheet music all over the place lately.  So, when I found a vintage children’s storybook at an antique mall for $2.00 I thought it might work well to create ornaments with the same type of feel (It just so happened to be opened to The Night Before Christmas so I knew I was going to buy it no matter what the rest of the book held!).  I searched through the hole book (specifically for Christmas related stories) and also found A Partridge in a Pear Tree.  I printed the words and pictures back to back in color and then slid them through a paper shredder.  I might suggest carefully hand cutting the strips instead though because the shredder sucked the paper in so quick that some of the words got chopped in half.  Oops!  I strung them up on a simple olive ribbon and think they look quite nice with the yellow and green images on the back.
