I found this piano on freecycle.org for FREE.
I was planning on painting it until I seen some awesome sheet music while browsing The Graphic Fairy's site.
Kinda boring…..
I spiced it up with the free downloadable sheet music.
I used:
- 50 sheets of vintage sheet music
- sponge brush
- scraper
- scissors
- and a mixture of half glue and half water
- Mod Podge
I printed out the music….
{this was a lot easier than dragging a toddler from thrift store to thrift store
in the hopes of finding of sheet music}
I used the
on the sheet music.
I then applied a thin layer of the glue/water mixture than pasted the sheet music. I used a flour separator to smooth out any air bubbles.
I pasted each sheet at different angles…..
I left some of the wood peeking through…
and here’s just the bottom done….
and here is the top done…..
After the piano was covered in all the places I wanted….
I applied 2 thin coats of Matte coat Mod Podge to seal it.
and there she is all DONE!
This project took about 4 hours.
Not bad for a completely FREE project!
{ Make sure you stop back by because I have since PAINTED the wood!}
Check out all the places I party!

Awesome piano! Let's see, so far I have mod podged (a new verb) a book case, coffee table, christmas balls and wooden frames. Now, maybe a piano would be nice?... hummmm....
