This poor wreath had seen better days, but I couldn't bear to toss it because it's been on a journey with me. Here's what you do.

1. Stand back and decide what color (s) you want to add to the existing grapevine wreath.

2. Once you've decided on a color scheme, head to your local craft store and select the fall picks (flowers and adornment on a wire, wrapped pick). I used 6 to fill in.

3. Fluff the flowers so they are pulled away from the pick.

4. Begin at the bottom of the wreath and gently weave the pick through the grapevine until it is placed where you want it and nestled in place.

5. See how it's just tucked into the empty space. Do this around the wreath and make sure to keep it balanced.

6. I wanted to add some Halloween decor to it. I added two vultures to the top and secured them with wire so that they're peering over the top.

7.Next I added a bouquet of black roses wrapped in black tulle. Nothing to that. Just place the roses where you want them and use one of the wires from the pick to secure it.

Note: I found the roses and the vultures at a floral/gift shop, but you can find similar items at your local craft store.

This wreath will take me through Halloween and then I'll add a merlot-colored silk wire bow for Thanksgiving. This took me from start to finish...all of 20 minutes.

HAPPY FALL TO ALL!

Good Job Cindy! You definitely gave this awesome wreath another 10 years. I have a couple that I need to re-do. Now that I've seen how easy it is I think I'll make plans to start mine. Thank you for sharing!
