How to Make a Patriotic Grapevine Wreath
Coach Mel, aka Sincerely Creative Mom, is here to guide you through the steps of making a patriotic grapevine wreath for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
Yield: 1 wreath
Materials
- 1 18-inch grapevine wreath
- 1 21.5-inch star vine
- 2 floral buses (60919)
- 1 long-stem blue floral
- 1 4-inch wired ribbon roll
- 1 2.5-inch wired ribbon roll
- 1 1-inch wired ribbon roll
- wrapped wire string
- stem cutter
- glue pot
- pipe cleaners
Instructions
- Position the star offcenter to leave enough space on three sides to add florals and a bow. Attach the wreath by pushing wire string through border, then through the grapevine wreath to the back. Twist the wire to secure.
- Make a bow using your4-inch, 2.5-inch and 1-inch. Starting with the 4-inch ribbon, make a 7-inch loop on both sides, by pinching, twisting and looping. Use your 2.5-inch ribbon to make two slightly smaller loops on both sides. Stack on top of the 4-inch ribbon. Finally, take you 1-inch ribbon and make a center loop, then make one loop oneach side. Add that to the stack, then wrap a pipe cleaner around the center ofthe stack and twist to tighten.
- Stick the pipe cleaner arms through the grapevine and twist in the back to secure the bow to the wreath.
- Separate your flower bunches from the main stem. Dip each bunch into the glue in your glue pot and stick them through the grapevine on three sides of the wreath, making a crescent shape around the star.
