My best wreath making tip is to NOT ‘permanently attach’ your decorations to your wreath. Why, you ask??? Well, by leaving your wreath embellishments easily ‘removable’ , you gain a LOT of flexibility!
You can take ONE grapevine wreath and re-decorate it for different seasons and holidays, instead of having several different wreaths to pack up and store.
Here is a Valentine wreath I just made for the store:
I simply took this purchased glittery ‘love’ garland and cut the pieces apart and tied them onto the wreath!
BAM! Done in 60 seconds!
After Valentines day, just untie these embellishments and pack them away and add on something for spring or Easter. Berry picks and pips are very easy to do. Just ‘tuck them in’.
You can also use your grapevine wreath ‘as a frame’ of sorts. First hang something like one of these hearts and hang it on from your nail; on the wall or your door:
Then hang your plain grapevine wreath so that it ‘frames’ the heart.
You can also wrap the wire hanger around the wreath to have the heart hanging form the top of the wreath. I use ‘rebar tie wire’ on all my hanging things, and it’s VERY durable and can be bent and un-bent and re-bent many, many times.
