Instructions

Things You'll Need:

1. 
    
   Grape vine wreath

   Start your twig wreath with a grape vine base. You can make your own, if you are able to get grape vines, or purchase one online or at your local craft store.

2. 
    

   Group your twigs for your wreath in small groups of about 20 twigs each. Here we are using white birch twigs, but any thin twigs can be used. Wrap a wire piece 5" in length around the twigs.

3. 
    

   Attach your first group of twigs to the wreath. Use the wire you have already wrapped around the twigs. Bring the wire as tight as you can and twist in the back.

4. 
    

   Add the second group to your wreath, on top of the first group of twigs. Try to have the wire go around the edge of the 1st group, tighten it down.

5. 
    

   Keep adding groups of twigs to your grape vine base. Go around the whole wreath until it looks full, adding as shown in steps 3 and 4.

6. 
    

   You can leave your twig wreath plain, or add decorations to it. Bows are always a nice addition

7. 
    

   Decorating your twig wreath with flowers, for the spring season. You can redecorate the same wreath for each season.
