DIY Christmas Music Wreath Ornament
Today I’m excited to show you how to make a beautiful Christmas music wreath ornament with just a few inexpensive supplies.
So today is the twelfth and final day of sharing handmade Christmas ornaments! I’m pretty sure this last ornament may just be my favorite of the Twelve.
I made this tiny Christmas music wreath using pages of Christmas carols from an old hymnal.
Around here, hymnals are pretty easy to find at estate sales and thrift stores but if you don’t have time to go searching for your own, I’ve got you covered.
I looked through my collection of vintage songbooks and hymnals and scanned the most popular Christmas songs to share as free printables.
You can download your own copies of 9 popular Christmas carols right here. You can download all nine or just your favorite. Be sure to print them on both sides of your paper for this particular project.

Materials
- Sheets of Christmas music – you can find free printables of 9 popular Christmas songs here or for this particular ornament you could also use non-Christmas sheet music
- hot glue gun
- tiny grapevine wreath – around 4″ is a good size for this
- three jingle bells – 1/2″ jingle bells work well
- twine
How to Make a Christmas Music Wreath Ornament
To make this wreath, I used pretty much the same method I used for my salvaged Bible wreath – just much smaller.
First cut a few long strips from your music and cover your little wreath.
It doesn’t have to be perfect – just make sure all of the grapevine is covered. This will be your wreath base.
Cut the rest of your music into tiny rectangles – around two inches by three inches. Roll each rectangle into a cone and hot glue the end so it stays rolled.
Hot glue the cones into place on the tiny wreath form.
Tie three jingle bells together with a piece of twine or string.
Push the twine through the hole in the center of the wreath. You can glue it in place or just tie the ends of the twine around the wreath form.
Finally, tie another piece of twine around the wreath base for hanging.

carrie i have enjoyed this whole series a lot,this lil sweetie may be my fav because of the jingle bells..that is the sound of Christmas to me, we wore them on our shoes and in our hair hung them every where and shook them every chance we got…thanks for sharing xx
Thank you so much Chris! I love the jingle bells too. I never thought to put them in my hair but I may just do it sometime this year. I do love the sound of jingle bells!
I love this! And it actually looks easy enough for me to do! My husband was a music major in college and I would love to make him a few of these for the tree. Our family is all about “Special” ornaments that have meaning to our lives. So these are perfect. Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks Melissa! I’m a big fan of meaningful ornaments too and this is definitely a perfect ornament for any music lover!
Carrie, I started making one of these ornaments. That is, I glued about 6 paper music cones and stopped. Thanks to you I have a better idea of what to do. I will get a wreath and some small bells — definitely the bells. Thanks for sharing. I saw your link at Inspire Me Monday party.
Thanks Ann Marie! Glad I could help! The wreath definitely makes it easier and the little bells just add the finishing touch!
So clever and beautiful! I sing on my church’s choir and am printing out music from our Christmas Cantata performance this weekend. For an ornament exchange
Great idea! Have fun!
