Equipment

  • Pruners or scissors

Materials

  • Real grapevines
  • Paddle of floral wire
  • Dollar store fall leaf garland
  • Other fall embellishments optional

Instructions

  • Cut down several long grapevines.
  • Strip the leaves.
  • Take some and make a round shaped wreath base that is a little squat like a pumpkin. Do this by gathering vines and taking more and wrapping them around the others.
  • Next, make three ribs for the pumpkin. Do this by taking groups of 5 or more vines a little longer than the diameter of the wreath base. Wrap each group of vines with another vine to hold them in place.
  • Then take one of the groups and wire it to the base at the bottom center and top.
  • Repeat on each side leaving a little extra at the top to represent a stem.
  • Add some extra wire at the top to use as a hanger.
  • Trim as necessary.
  • To decorate add some fall leaves and berries.
  • This one has a fall leaf garland from the dollar store that is folded in half to look fuller.
  • Wrap it around the top of the pumpkin and then cut the folded spot on one side and cut off the ends on the other.
  • A few leftover faux fall berries are added to the top of each side to finish the look.

Notes

You can use dead grapevines too. Soften them first in a bucket of water to make them more pliable and easier to work with.
