If you love music and paper crafting like I do, this project is the perfect blend of both!
Today I’m sharing a fun and meaningful décor piece that features one of my favorite quotes: “Where words fail, music speaks.” With bold colors, glittery accents, and playful music notes, this project makes a beautiful display for your craft room, music studio, or as a gift for the music lover in your life.
Supplies Used:
- Clear Scraps 8 x 8 Acrylic Book Stand
- Clear Scraps Treble Clef Chipboard Embellishments
- Clear Scraps Music Notes Chipboard Embellishments
- Patterned papers
- Black glitter cardstock, black glitter vinyl
- Quote/title cut file
- Adhesives (double sided tape, liquid glue)
- Scissors, paper trimmer
Step 1: Cut the Quote
Cut or print your chosen quote—“Where words fail, music speaks.” I used black glitter vinyl to make the words stand out against the colorful background.
Step 2: Apply Quote to Book Stand
Apply quote to the front side of the book stand. I’m only using the words from the cut file.
Step 3: Add Pattern Paper
Start by selecting bold patterned papers that will make your project pop.
Trim the paper down slightly smaller than the backside of book stand. Add double sided tape to edges on front side of the paper.
Adhere
Cut 4 strips of black glitter cardstock about 1/4’ wide for a border. Adhere to front side of book stand.
Step 3: Embellish with Music Notes
Nothing says “music” like music notes! I used the chipboard embellishments, colored them with a black sparkle pen. Place them around the quote and project is complete.
Final Thoughts
I love how this project turned out—playful, bold, and full of meaning. Whether you’re gifting it to a music teacher, decorating a studio, or making something for yourself, this project is sure to hit the right note! 🎶
