{"product_id":"spools-and-corks-christmas-ornaments","title":"Spools and Corks Christmas Ornaments","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs I was cleaning out some holiday storage, I found a pile of Christmas music that had been photocopied, dog-eared, and well loved over the years. I could remember standing on the “stage” at home (the landing at the bottom of our staircase) and performing Good King Wenceslas, Hot Cross Buns, and Silent Night on a violin that sounded like screeching cats for my grandmother, who graciously applauded after every 30 second song. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears later, I have played a concert tour in Chile, played at a Bob Dylan benefit concert for school music education (before I knew who Bob Dylan was), and am no longer sounding like screeching cats. These foundational pieces of music needed a good home and a way of honoring their contribution to my musical ability, so these ornaments are a way to preserve my favorite pieces of music without taking up too much space in the Christmas storage bins.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSpools and Corks Christmas Ornaments Directions:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWrap a strip of sheet music around each spool and wine cork.
