A door wreath is a perfect outdoor decoration. Decorative wreaths can be purchased ready-made or with very little effort, you can make a grape vine wreath of your own. After the leaves have blown off the grape vines it is the perfect time to gather long pieces to make a grape vine wreath. If you have grapes of your own it’s easy to snip off a few pieces of vine, or you can take a trip to the woods.
You will often find grape vines trailing over trees, shrubs and fence posts. They are easy to pick out if you look for the curly tendrils. Some wreathes are made with thicker, sturdier pieces but there are advantages to choosing the younger, finer end pieces. They are much easier to bend without soaking in hot water or glycerine and they have much nicer tendrils.
Wind the vines into the shape and size you prefer. If the tendrils don’t hold your pieces together, use some fine wire. Also wire a loop on the back to hang your wreathe.
By adding an orange ribbon with some little black cats, this wreath becomes an instant Halloween outdoor decoration.
There are lots of possibilities for every season of the year. At Christmas time you will see doors adorned with feather wreaths, advent wreaths, berry wreaths and pine cone wreaths. By simply changing out the ribbon and accessories on your grape vine wreath, you can create a wreath suitable for any season or outdoor decorating theme.
