The best time of year to cut excess vines from the plant is after the fruit has been picked and before the first frost. Most vines need to be pruned, so you can use the vine scraps to make your wreath.

on 5/14/2008 At one home I had an 18in space above my kitchen cabinets. I used dried honeysuckle vine like a grapevine, place light nails random around this space then made circles of what looked like grapevine design all around my u shaped kitchen.I then took a bunch of wisteria and cut off each stem. I then hung the wisteria on the vines.I've also used long vines of wisteria when I could find them this was much lighter. I also took wisteria and hung it on the ceiling light above my kitchen table.Make sure no heat can reach the vine, my bulbs hung down and covered with glass fixtures. I started at top of chain and worked down wrapping the arms with the wisteria vine, I hung the blossoms down the chain and from the vine. I never used dried vine on the light only the silk flowers and stems.You'll have to work with it in order to get it to hang just like you want.Beleive me it is Beautiful especially w

on 8/30/2006 I used a grape vine and made small 4-5 in wreaths to go around the bottom of a candle and added silk flowers. I've molded grape vine (in small bundles of thin vines) around cylinder shaped vases in a candy-cane shape. I can leave them on the vase or the stand alone when dried, perfect for a fall wedding! Help save money on table center pieces!

on 11/22/2005 I have an overhang in my dining room with tube lights. I take grapevines, wind them around the wood, and put up little purple Christmas lights with purple bunches of grapes hanging down.
