I knew that I wanted to incorporate our song into John's anniversary gift, so what better way to do that than with the sheet music to our song!
The first step was to find and purchase the sheet music. I decided to buy a downloadable version and put our new, handy-dandy printer to good use. Check. Embarrassingly, I ended up printing it onto resumé paper that I have had since my fleeting days of college. My motto: work with what you've got. Check.
While browsing around the internet for DIY projects involving sheet music I came across some great ideas:
Due to the space in the condo, or lack thereof, I narrowed it down to either wrapping several books with it or framing each page.
After much deliberation, I decided to go with the option that would make more of a statement...frames. I had a feeling that the books would get lost in the mix. The frames are something that we can view daily and are a good conversation piece. Check.
I ordered five simple 11x14 white frames and matting from Amazon. Check. Within a few days they arrived at our doorstep.
Here are the details of the project from start to finish:
...and the finished product!
I love them. John loved them. And now I can't wait to hang them!
Love, love, love this!!!!
