Make a Grape Vine Wreath

It is easy to make a grape vine wreath and it’s such a beautiful thing that can be used for decoration year-round.

If you have some dead grape vines or some that have out-stayed their welcome and need to be removed, then you’re all set.

If the vines are dead, you should soak them for a day to make them soft so they don’t break when you are working with them.

Take a long piece and form a circle of any size.  Next you wrap the vine around itself through the center of the circle over and over until you’ve run out of material.  If it’s not big enough then take another piece and tuck the end into the wreath and continue wrapping.

The wreath can be decorated with anything.  Ribbon is a good start.  Next, tuck in dried flowers or little craft items. 

One of the prettiest ones had cotton picked from a cotton plant.  (You can grow your own cotton here too.)

Use your imagination.
