Step Two: Choose Your Music
Now that you have your supplies, it’s time to choose the music for your project. You can use any song that you like, but keep in mind that some songs may work better than others depending on the overall tone and mood that you want to create with your plaque. If you’re not sure where to start, try looking for songs with positive lyrics that make you feel happy or uplifted. You can also look for instrumental pieces if you want to avoid lyrics altogether. Once you’ve selected a song, it’s time to move on to the next step.
Step Three: Prep Your Glass Plaque
Now that you have your supplies, it’s time to prep your glass plaque. You’ll need to clean the surface of the plaque with a mild soap and water solution. Once the plaque is clean and dry, you’ll need to apply a thin layer of mod podge to the back of your music sheet. Be sure to smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles as you go. After the mod podge has dried, you can proceed to step four.
Step Four: Apply Your Music
Now that your plaque is dry, it’s time to apply your music. If you’re using sheet music, cut it to size and glue it in place. If you’re using a music book, cut out the page you want to use and glue it in place. Once your music is glued down, trace around the outside with a pencil so you know where to put your frames.
Step Five: Let It Dry
Now that your design is complete, it’s time to let it dry. You can either set it aside and let it air dry, or you can bake it in the oven to speed up the process. If you choose to bake it, set the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and place the glass plaque on a baking sheet. Let it bake for 30 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it cool in the oven.
Step Six: Hang Your Music Glass Plaque
Hang your plaque using two medium-sized screws placed an appropriate distance apart from each other. Make sure that the screws you use are not too big or too small for the wall space that you have available. You should also be careful not to place the screws too close together, as this could cause the glass to crack.
Conclusion
Even if you’ve never worked with glass before, making a music glass plaque is a relatively easy project that anyone can do. With a few simple supplies and a little bit of time, you can create a beautiful and unique piece of art that will be loved by all.
