Tutorial: Vintage-Look Cone Ornament

Here's a super simple, but beautiful ornament for you to make!!  It's a Spanish moss filled cone made of vintage sheet music and an aged book page.  With a little bit of lace, it has a really feminine look.  Let's get started...

GATHER SUPPLIES

5"x5.5" Piece of cardstock paper

Small section of sheet music

1 Book page

Aging medium

Lace

Chain

Charm

Jumprings

Glue

Step 1: PREP CONE

Fold over one corner of your cardstock so when you roll it into a cone it hangs in front.

Step 2: DECORATE CONE

Age Book Page

Use your aging medium (I used walnut ink spray) to "age" the paper.

Add to the front of the cardstock, under the flap you folded over.

Add Lace

Add a narrow strip of lace under the flap.

Add Sheet Music

Glue down a triangle of sheet music to completely cover the folded over flap.

Be sure to have enough to fold over the rim and into the cone at least 1/2" so it appears to come from inside the cone.

Step 3: FINISH CONE

Glue the two sides together with a 1/2" overlap.

Step 4: ADD CHAIN 

Add Eyelets

Punch holes and add eyelets to both sides of the cone.

Add Chain

Using two large jumprings attach the chain to the cone.

Step 5: ADD CHARM

Add a charm of some sort to the tip of the flap.

Note: I used a tiny picture frame with a section from the sheet music inside.

Step 6: ADD FILLER

Add some form of filler.  I used Spanish moss from the dollar store.

FINISHED!!
