How to Decorate a Grapevine Wreath

Grapevine Wreath Decor

Grapevine wreaths (also called twig wreaths) are very popular right now.  I love the fact that it’s simple and still gorgeous.  Some people don’t like big blingy wreaths on their doors so here is a suggestion for those of you who like a simpler look. Robin has designed a Grapevine wreath using our florals and ribbons. Each picture is linked to the website.  Note:  You will have left over product. 

First you will start out with a 24” Grapevine wreath. 

You can also use an 18" if you think the 24" is too big for your door.

We have several different sizes in this wreath. 

  

You will start with this 36" yellow dry mix bundle spray.  This spray also comes in blue and red.  Leave the dry mix bundle spray together, and the secure it by zip tying it together.  (Some people also use pipe cleaners to secure) 

You then take the bundle and zip tie it onto one side of  your grapevine wreath.  It is very simple.  You can see in the video that there isn't much to it.  Robin secures the bundle by putting the zip tie through part of it and part of the wreath. By doing it this way you can't see the zip tie.  To make sure it stay in place she also turns the wreath around a secures it on the back. After you have done these steps it is then ok to take the tape off the bundle since it is secured.

You want to add some color to it by adding the 52" dry curly spray in turquoise.  This spray also comes in copper, red, gold, lime, silver and black. 

Robin takes half the bundle and flips it the other way.  She does this so that you have curls of each end of the spray.  After this step, secure the bundle together with of course a zip tie. Then take another zip tie and slide it behind the one you just secured your spray with.  This will allow you to secure the spray to the yellow bundle you just placed on the wreath.  You can see in the video that Robin secures her spray at an angle but beside the yellow bundle spray.

 You will also need florals. Robin uses a 1 - yellow sunflower, 1 - pink spider daisy and 1 - orange spider daisy.  You can change up the colors to whatever fits you best.  The Spider Daisy also comes in purple and yellow.  She takes the stem at the top close the the flowers and bends it so that you will be able to see the flowers after it is attached to the wreath.

 

 2 -Robin uses the 32" Yellow pine spray (also in pink) to place right behind her spider daisy and sunflower. It is real easy.  You just bunch these together in the way you like them and place the yellow pine behind it to give it color and a different look. She then takes the other yellow pine and and flips in opposite of the flowers so that you have color on the bottom as well.  Secure this bundle of flowers and sprays with what? You have to know the answer to this by now.  A handy zip tie. Take another zip ties and secure it contrasting to the other bundles and sprays.

We are nearly finished!  To bring everything together you want to top it off with a bow.  Robin has used our 6" Bunny Designer Netting with 20 Yards.  Now most people get completely beside themselves when even thinking about trying to make a bow. Don't stress out over it.  It isn't hard with Designer Netting.  It is as simple as making a few loops.  As you can see in the video, Robin takes the 6" Bunny Designer Netting and loops it from side to side while holding the middle tight.  She give each side 3 loops and leaves a little bit of a streamer.  After cutting the ribbon from making her bow she then adds extra streamers by cutting a strip and placing holding it in the middle of the bow.  

 Robin then adds our 3" Limeade Designer with 20 Yards netting to layer on top of the Bunny ribbon.  As you keep a hold of the grip you have of the bow made with the bunny ribbon, you add the limeade in with it by making two loops to each side. Zip tie the bow where you have your grip. Before you pull the zip tie too tight slip another zip tie to that zip tie so that you can easily secure it to the wreath.  After you have got that zip tie in there, then you can pull tight. Then take the zip tie you slid in the other on the bow and secure the bow to the sprays.  The bow is great because it covers up all the other zip ties you have used on the sprays.  

For an added embellishment, Robin adds a metal peacock onto the wreath.

She places it more towards the bottom middle to the wreath and secures it with a wire. You can also use a zip tie for this.  If you don't like peacocks you can always try a different embellishment. We have so many you can choose from on our website at www.tmigifts.com

And this is your finished product
