Fall Grapevine Wreath with Sunflowers Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Your Grapevine Base
Check your grapevine wreath for any loose twigs and trim or tuck them in. Grapevines are great because they give your florals something to grip onto.
2. Add the Greenery Garland
- Wrap the greenery vine around your grapevine base.
- Secure it in 3–4 places with wire so it follows the curve of the wreath.
- Let some greenery extend beyond the frame for a natural, flowing look.
3. Insert Long Spike Grass
- Cut the spike grass into smaller sections.
- Tuck them into the wreath at an upward and outward angle for height and texture.
- Use hot glue to lock them in place.
4. Place the Sunflowers
- Position your sunflowers in a visual triangle so the eye moves around the wreath.
- Start with one focal sunflower near the bottom left, then balance with two more spaced apart.
- Attach with hot glue and tuck the stems into the grapevine for stability.
5. Add Copper Fern Picks
- Cut each pick into smaller stems.
- Place them evenly throughout the wreath to add shimmer and contrast.
- These metallic accents catch the light and make your design pop.
6. Create and Attach the Bow
- Make a bow using the 2.5″ glitter leaf ribbon.
- Melissa used 2–3 loops per side for a full, balanced look.
- Secure the bow with wire, then attach it to the bottom center or slightly off to one side.
7. Final Touches
- Step back and check for gaps.
- Fill in with leftover greenery or ribbon tails.
- Fluff the bow and trim ribbon ends at an angle for a polished finish.
Tips for Fall Grapevine Wreaths
- Mix textures — Combining soft florals with metallic accents adds depth.
- Angle your stems — Avoid sticking them straight out; angle for a natural flow.
- Think beyond the door — Grapevine wreaths look great above a fireplace or as part of a seasonal wall display.
