How To Make A Grapevine Wreath

Is your grapevine looking like a mini jungle plant?  Well, grab you clippers and let's get started!

After you've pruned your grapevine, lay all the vines out. First, take a long, fresh vine and form a circle in the diameter you want your wreath to be. Most likely you will have excess vine~wind this excess vine around the vine circle you just formed. When the vine is to the end, tuck this end in between two wound vines..on the first round there might not be two wound vines to tuck the end into, so just hold the vined end until it is wrapped with the second vine. Now take another vine, insert the beginning end between two wound vines and begin the winding and ending process all over again. Keep repeating this until thew wreath is the thickness you want.

When you have finished your wreath, lay it in the sun for a few weeks until dry. Do not hang~your wreath will dry misshapen.

These wreaths are fun to give as gifts~as they are or decorated with ribbon, dried flowers or whatever else you like. You may use a glue gun or wire to attach your decorations to the wreath.
