Grapevine Wreath
by
Carol Strohm
We have a large grape arbor and my neighbor does as well. Every year after we enjoy the harvest of our grapes we are stuck with what to do with all those vines? This year I made wreaths from them. The one pictured is one that I made for our living room. I love wild birds and decided to add a little moss from the craft store and some clip on birds. The effect was wonderful. I was thinking of adding ribbon to the top but decided it looked more natural without. Would be great for a holiday wreath etc.
Just weave the vines in and out forming a circle making sure to tuck in the ends. Keep going until you have a wreath the thickness that you like. Take some extra small pieces of vine and attach into the wreath on the bottom part of the circle to form a type of nest. Add some moss and a few clip on birds with a bigger one in the nest if you prefer.
