    You could intersperse a few in silk arrangements or flower arrangements or even multi flower pots you have outside for a more vertical look. You can put them on picture frames and mount greens or flowers on them or weave them into their own frame. You can use them even as their own arrangement in a vase. There are quite a few things you can do with them. Another one is to make a spray that you can use and change up what you put with it for the season and put it on your door.

    If you have lots, sell it! Crafters love it and it's light enough to ship without costing $$

    Hello Zena; I have seen the most Beautiful things made out of Grape vines on Pinterest and Google.

    I would start there, and decide what to make by how many vines that you have!!

    I hope that this helps you!! Take Care!

    Make smaller orbs to place in a bowl on say, your coffee table or kitchen table as a centerpiece. They are always popular in decor. I also see them hung on Christmas trees - plain or spray painted gold - you're only limited by your imagination! :)


    I have also seen large ones made for outdoor use in decor magazines. They are just sitting on the actual patio (or lawn) as decor. My daughter made some large ones for the Winter - she inserted mini (all white) outdoor lights then left them outside - they looked really beautiful in the snow.

    PS: I forgot to mention that back in the late 80's, I once measured the width of my kitchen window above the sink and made a valance. It took about ten minutes, if that! I gathered grapevine lengths together (breaking off parts too long) then fastened them with thin wire here and there then hung it up. It was very lightweight. I used very little wire because the branches were mostly woven together and held together well.

    Keep some for use as a Christmas background for a decorated mantel. They can be draped over the tops of curtains with some artificial ivy for a country look. Cut them into smaller pieces and glue to picture frames for a rustic look. Put some over the top of open cabinets to decorate with. Hope this helps...
