"Jingle Bells" Vintage Sheet Music Wall Hanging
; "Pinterest"){kind=small}
As part of my equestrian-themed Christmas decor this year, I wanted to feature the classic "Jingle Bells" song in some major way. I love the look of vintage sheet music, so I decided to make a giant wall hanging out of a page of music from the song. What a nostalgic and unique touch that would make!
I started with a graphic of vintage Jingle Bells sheet music that I found on Zazzle and I had it printed in giant poster size.
To turn this poster into a wall hanging, I wanted to add wooden poster hangers, but I didn't have any on hand that were the right scale to fit my poster. Chica was right there with an idea and scrounged up some leftover wooden blinds she had in her junk pile. Perfect! They even had holes already for hanging. All I had to do was use wood filler to fill the extra holes on a couple of them, then I spray painted them a rich, dark, green.
Assembly was super easy. I put one slat behind the top edge of the poster, letting the poster overlap it by about an inch.
I used hot glue to adhere the poster to the slat, then I added more glue and placed a second slat on top, sandwiching the edge of the poster between the two.
I repeated the same steps on the bottom of the poster, then hung it with a piece of cording.
This is going to look so great in my horse themed Christmas decorations!
