J-O-Y Vintage Music Banner

Make a J-O-Y banner using vintage 

Christmas sheet music. If you don't

 happen to have old sheet music you can

 find it on the internet and make copies.

I found free vintage Christmas sheet

music printables  HERE. 

 I chose three that were similar in design.

 'O Come All Ye Faithful' in image size 

432x640. I enlarged it to 110% .

'Silent Night' in image size 432x640 

enlarged to 110%, and 

 'Jingle Bells' in size 409x600 

enlarged to 115%.

 before enlarging and printing

 For printing I used the landscape setting.

 I wanted to get 2 on each page but couldn't

 figure that out as quickly as I wanted so I just

 printed them each on their own page using

 heavy stock paper. Then I cut them out.

I found a font I liked, Curlz MT for the letters.

 I printed those using regular copy paper

in size 450, outline.

 Using carbon paper, I traced the letters onto the music.

 I filled in the letters with a black Sharpie.

First using a thin one for the outline 

and a thick one to fill in.

 I decided to add a little snowy glitter. 

 I just ran a little white glue around the edges

 and sprinkled it with glitter. Let the glue dry 

 then cut 2 slits with a pointy knife and thread 

some sheer shiny ribbon thru the slits to hang.

 See my little silver JOY letters on the lower 

left window pane? I forgot to take those down

 last year...and may forget again this year.

A fun, easy, J-O-Y banner.

Cheers!
