Sheet Music Christmas Tree

Learn how to make this sheet music Christmas tree in just minutes with these step-by-step instructions. This project is a great way to add a touch of festive vintage fun to your holiday decor!

How To Make Sheet Music Christmas Tree

I am a sucker for sheet music — y’all probably already know that! So I am in love with this tree. When I found this on Pinterest, I was instantly inspired to make one just like it! I’ve used sheet music for other Christmas crafts, like a sheet music snowflake banner and a sheet music shag tree.

There are so many different ways to use vintage sheet music for DIY projects. This is a great way to add something unexpected to your holiday table or to fill in an empty corner with a Christmas decoration. These can fill in the spaces on a window sill, bookcase, desk, and even on your holiday table. If you have a Christmas village, these would make a great addition, too.

These are easy to make and are so charming! I just love the rustic farmhouse vibes these little trees provide. You can make these trees as tall or as miniature as you like, so they are completely customizable.

This DIY uses vintage sheet music and a few other simple craft supplies. If you don’t have vintage sheet music, try getting some from Amazon by clicking here. Upcycling old sheet music is a wonderful way to reuse something that would otherwise be thrown away.

Supplies Needed To Make Sheet Music Christmas Tree

• Vintage Sheet Music
• Pedestal Bowl (or another type of base for your tree)
• Hot Glue and Glue Gun
• Muslin
• Scissors

Step 1: Choose Pedestal For Your Sheet Music Christmas Tree

For this project, I decided use pedestal bowl (turned upside down) because, since I’m using hot glue for this project, I can remove the tree later if I want to.

However, you can use whatever you have on hand for this project. You just need some sort of sturdy base to build your tree on.

Step 2: Roll Sheet Music Up Into Cones & Glue Them In Layers

Gather up your sheet music! Large pages work best for this tree so skip the hymnals this time.

Begin rolling up the sheet music pages into cones. I started with two cones glued together.

Then 4 cones…

Then I just kept layering and gluing them on. Different sizes, colors, music….literally whatever sheet music you have on hand.

The cones are in layers but are not perfect by any means. But they don’t need to be perfect to create this adorable Christmas tree!

They all came together beautifully onto the tree! See you can still see my pedestal bowl base.

Step 3: Check The Top Of Tree

Make sure the tops sort of come to a point and it will look like a tree.

NOTE: My tree is TALL. I didn’t measure but I would say over 2 feet tall. You might want to keep this in mind, if you are wanting your tree to be a certain size.

Step 4: Add Tree Skirt

I needed a “skirt” to hide the rest of the base. So, I took a circle of muslin cut it to size, then hot glued on muslin strips in ruffles.

Once you have created your tree skirt, you are ready to display your sheet music Christmas tree!

Stay tuned to see where I put this in my home. I am already working on it and love it! Have you made any sheet music trees?

FAQs About Sheet Music Christmas Tree

Here are a couple of questions that I see readers ask about making their own sheet music Christmas tree. If you have a question, please check to see if I’ve already answered it below. Don’t see your question? Leave it for me in the comments!

Where Can I Get Sheet Music?

You can get sheet music in a variety of places, depending on the type you want to use. For example, if you want to use real vintage sheet music, you can buy that at thrift stores or antique stores. However, if you don’t want to go the ”real vintage route”, you can buy sheet music for crafting on Amazon.

Could I Use A Foam Cone For This Project?

Yes, you can! If you want to use a foam cone, simply follow the same steps as above, but just glue your sheet music to the foam cone instead.

Can I Use A Different Kind Of Glue?

If you don’t have hot glue, you could use craft glue or super glue for your sheet music Christmas tree.

You will need to adjust your crafting time and process to allow for longer drying time. I prefer using hot glue because the dry time is much faster and the hold is secure.

Can I Decorate This Tree?

Absolutely! I liked the look of the tree on its own, but you could easily add a star to the top or make a garland to go around the tree.

Can I Use A Store Bought Tree Shirt?

Yes, you can! If you use a store-bought tree skirt you will want to pick a size that goes well with your tree.
