How To Make Wreaths From Grapevines For The Holidays And Beyond
Grapevines, bound together, make a perfect base for a rustic wreath. When you make your own, you have the ability to form any shape or size that you wish. If you can’t harvest your own vines, then you can purchase grapevines or even ready made grapevine wreaths from your local art and crafts supplies store and simply decorate it from there.
If you can make a big circle and do a lot of winding and twisting, then you will have no problem doing this craft. It would get a little more advanced if you wanted to do a heart shape for a Valentine’s holiday wreath, but even that is not too difficult. Here are the easy instructions for both shapes:
Craft Skill Level: Moderate
Supplies Needed:
-
grapevines
-
floral picks
-
ribbon
-
bark covered wire
Grapevine Wreath Instructions:
1. Remove any foliage from the vines.
2. Make a circle, the size you want your wreath to be, with one of the vines.
3. With the remaining length of vine, begin wrapping it around your circle to hold the shape in place.

5. Tuck in your floral picks where you want them. They should hold in place with the tightness of the vines alone but you can secure them with some bark covered wire. This wire blends in perfectly with the grapevines and won’t be noticed at all.
6. Add a decorative bow.
Holiday wreaths are great to do this way especially for rustic Christmas decor. I like grapevine wreaths all year long and there are plenty of ways to decorate them, either seasonal or all year. Floral picks with rustic tin stars and pip berries are a great addition for a year long wreath in your rustic decor.
