I'm a very musical person so when I saw this idea on Etsy I thought I'd have a go at making my own. I need to work on getting my lines straighter, and apologies for my handwriting, but anyway...It's done straight onto the card base. Draw a stave (that's the five lines) that's wide enough to add your buttons on to later and add your clef and key signature. If you were making this for someone who plays a bass or alto clef instrument you could always (if you were feeling adventurous!) do the tune in that clef.
Using a pencil work out where your notes are going to go. I did We Wish you a Merry Christmas but you could use any Christmas music you like. If you're not musical but you wanted to do this card you could Google Christmas carol sheet music images to see what would work, or ask a musical friend.
Once you know where you're putting your notes, draw in the sticks and add buttons to make the bodies of the notes. Add in the lyrics underneath and you're good to go!
