Make a Grapevine Pumpkin Shaped Wreath for Fall
1 Material
Grapevine pumpkin shaped wreaths are very popular and trendy during the fall season. They can also be very expensive. That's why I was determined to make my own. I originally thought the wreath was one piece, soaked in water and manipulated to look round like a pumpkin. Then after I made one, I read that the wreath was is actually three grapevine wreaths overlapping and wired together with an added twig shaped stem. This is not how I made mine. I wanted one that if you looked at it from the side, it would appear round or oval like a pumpkin. I must admit I had a hard time trying to accomplish this.
At first I tried wrapping the already coiled garland into a pumpkin shape. I twisted and wrapped, and tugged and bended the vine, but just couldn't get it right
Then I decided to make a single pumpkin shape with a stem and go from there.
I thought it easier to cut the garland and insert the ends into the main part and then wrap the garland in place with twig wire to secure.
Cutting off end pieces and wrapping and blending together.
And then adding the cut off wrapped twigs for a straighter stem.
And voila! A pumpkin shaped wreath!
Now to decorate!
