How to Make Wreaths From Vine and Stick Frames

Wreaths are often made with a variety of flower combinations. While many different styles are available, wreaths can be quite expensive. Save money and create your own wreath using a vine and stick frame, commonly called a grapevine wreath. These frames can be purchased at craft stores, quite cheaply.

Things You'll Need

• Two or three flower stems
• Floral foam-ball stem
• Wire cutters
• Dark brown zip ties
• Dark brown twist ties

Instructions

1. Lay a bare grapevine wreath on a flat surface, such as a table. Arrange the foam-ball stem on the wreath. Attach the stem to the wreath with several zip ties. Use the wire cutters to remove excess zip tie.

2. Cut flowers off of a floral stem with wire cutters. Leave 3 to 4 inches of stem below each flower. Stick the flowers in the wreath.

3. Attach the flowers to the frame. Use zip ties and cut off the excess with wire cutters. Alternately, use twist ties.

4. Once all of the flowers are tied into place, spread them out along the wreath.

Tips & Warnings

• Lay a piece of cardboard underneath the wreath to catch scraps and prevent table scratches.

• Use caution when using the wire cutters.
