I was lucky enough to be offered this lovely old sheet music on our recycle site jumbletown.ie. I have lots of great craft and repurposing ideas for it. So far I have used it as giftwrap for a gift for a friend. I also used it to line some drawers in the bedroom. Add a few drops of lavendar oil to give it a lovely scent and deter insects.
I also used it to decorate the deep windowsill of the bathroom in the cottage. These walls are 18 inches thick and they make for a real feature in each of the rooms. I will paste it down and clear varnish it as it is in a bathroom. Isn't it pretty?
Here's an award I created for all my favorite blogs:

What a nice idea!
I tried to translate the top piece into
english from German. It was fun
to try even if my german is lame.
Here is what I have.....
Lyric piece for Pianoforte
composed by Edward Grieg
I am sure the gift recipient will love the gift as much
as the wrapping!

Really pretty papers! Love the idea of wrapping - make it "oh so special.."

This is a great idea.....I like it. Every once in awhile I'll use the comic pages of our newspaper for birthday gift wrap. Hugs, Linda

I love this! Such a wonderful way to use this type of paper, and for someone who loves music it will be a super treat!
