This beautiful crochet music notes garland is the perfect handmade project for anyone who loves music and melodies! The inspiration for this design came from one of my wonderful customers, who asked me to create a musical garland to decorate her child’s bedroom. I instantly fell in love with the idea! Transforming simple stitches into treble clefs and musical notes brought me so much joy.
This cheerful garland is a fantastic way to dress up blank walls, frame a piano corner, or celebrate a young musician’s space. It also makes a unique gift for a favorite music teacher.

How to Make Music Notes Crochet Garland
Instructions:
1. Crochet music notes.
2. Block and starch the notes as they had a tendency to slightly twist. Note it is normal for crocheted items to twist or curl, but we want our notes to be flat. For starching I used undiluted Sta – Flo concentrated liquid starch.
Soak the notes with Sta-Flo starch or you can use other fabric stiffeners. Gently squeeze out any excess liquid. Place the notes on the pinning board. For a pinning board, you can use a corkboard, a sheet of styrofoam, or a piece of pressed cardboard.
Cover your pinning board with plastic wrap. Using rustproof pins, pin notes to a desired flat shape. Allow to dry completely before removing them.
3. Make a string.
For the string, use two strands of thread size #3 and hook size F/5-3.75mm. I crocheted a chain about 70” long and left from each end about 7-10” for tying the garland. Then arrange the notes and carefully sewed them on.
I hope you enjoyed this music notes crochet garland!
Happy Crocheting!
