Supplies for Simple Sunflower Grapevine Wreath

Here are the supplies you will need for creating this wreath:

How to Make a Simple Simple Sunflower Grapevine Wreath

Step #1: Let’s begin with our bow. This will be made by hand, so don’t stress. I will teach you! When creating a bow follow the motto, “Pinch it, twist it, and loop it.” Grab your leopard and gold ribbon. Measure out 15” inches to form your first tail. Pinch it, twist it, and make your first loop measuring about 11”.

Twist and repeat to make your next 11” loop. You can measure or just eyeball it. Twist your ribbon and begin your next layers of loops repeating the steps to form 3 more loops, at 13” this time. Repeat with the pinch, twist, loop to create another 2 loops, measuring about 15” this time. You should have 8 total loops for this bow. With your remaining ribbon, cut off any excess from your 2nd tail that should measure 15”. Set excess ribbon aside, we will use it later. Fluff, manipulate your loops and tails before you officially tie them down. Grab your zip tie and secure your bow in the center. Trim excess zip tie.

Step #2: Secure your bow to the grapevine with a pipe cleaner on the left side. Work your pipe cleaner down through the guts of the grapevine. Secure over the top center of the bow where you just zip-tied. Then, pull the pipe cleaner down through the grapevine again. Flip grapevine over and twist pipe cleaner tightly.

Step #3 You add your bow first so we don’t have to hide a lot of stems or trim them either from your picks. Grab your 1st sunflower pick and slide the stem back behind the top of your bow. Weave down through your grapevine. Place the second sunflower pick the same way, just on the opposite side of your bow. Hot glue your picks in places to secure.

Step #4: Next, trim your tails on your ribbons, with a dovetail effect.

Step #5: Now it is time to grab your fall-colored bush, and trim the 9 sections all the way down to the base with wire cutters. Gives you several bundles to work with. Pull your greenery to the top of stems to make them nice and full.

Step #6: Add hot glue to your stems, work your greenery around the top of the grapevine behind the bow and sunflower pick. Use a triangular motion as you add your 3 picks, building depth, dimension, and fullness. Repeat underneath your bow as well. So simple and so beautiful. You should only use 6 total bundles for this part.

Step #7: With the excess ribbon we have leftover, measure out 2 15” pieces. There should be another excess section of ribbon Set aside.

We will create 2 tails. Grab a pipe cleaner and cut it in half. Determine where you want to add your 2 tails. I placed 1 pipe cleaner behind the sunflower pick to start. With the gold side facing out since our bow was the leopard side showing.

Step #8: We will create 2 tails. Grab a pipe cleaner and cut it in half. Determine where you want to add your 2 tails. I placed 1 pipe cleaner behind the sunflower pick to start.

Step #9: We will use the gold side facing out for these tails since our bow was the leopard side showing. Find the center of the ribbon and pinch as you secure with a pipe cleaner to your grapevine. Dovetail your ribbon tail ends.

Step #10: Grab the second ribbon tail and the excess part of the ribbon so there is no waste for this project. Fold ribbon tail in half with gold showing and the leopard part showing for that third tail look. Pinch in place and secure to the grapevine with a pipe cleaner on the opposite side of the bow. The length of your third tail adds a nice touch. Dovetail those ends.

Now how long did that take us? Not long at all, right? Now you have a beautiful, simple sunflower grapevine wreath to hang on your front door this fall!
