Supplies
How to Make A Grapevine Dog Wreath
Step #1: Prep the sign by placing a little dab of super glue on the back four corners. Then place your mounting squares and allow them to dry.
Step #2: Slide pipe cleaners through the holes of your mounting squares and then twist.
Step #3: Take your puppy dog head and thread a pipe cleaner through the bottom and the top center of the face. You can poke your holes using a sharp small object. Secure the pipe cleaners with a dab of hot glue.
Step #4: Make your bow.
Step #5: Using an EZ bow maker measure out your tails, twist, and fold over making your loops. Just two loops and one tail going up and one down with your first ribbon color.
Step #6: Using your second ribbon color repeat the steps.
Step #7: Add in your white ribbon with black puppy dog prints and then bring back your first ribbon color to the top, just making tails repeating with each color.
Step #8: Twist your ribbon off with a pipe cleaner to secure your bow.
Step #9: Clean your grapevine by clipping away any straggly pieces
Step #10: Attach the sign using pipe cleaners threading it through the grapevine and twisting to secure it.
Step #11: Place the dog with bone attachment underneath the bottom left of your I love dogs sign.
Step #12: Secure the bow under your dog bone.
Step #13: Add some greenery pieces around your bow. Securing by adding hot glue to the ends and pushing into the grapevine. Keep adding greenery until you have filled the empty spaces and no vine can be seen.
Step #14: Place some floral stems coming down around the bottom of your wreath form. Then dovetail your ribbon
FAQs
How do you attach things to a wreath?
Sometimes it can be hard to figure out how to attach things to a wreath. When working with a grapevine wreath I like to use pipe cleaners or zip ties to attach things like a sign or a wreath attaching to the wreath form. Just remember that when attaching something to a grapevine be sure your thread through the form now around. That way you are not tightening the wreath form making it difficult to push your stems and greenery in.
