Instructions
Attach Sign
Clean your grapevine to protect your front door or your customer's door.
Determine where you want to place your wreath sign.
Tuck the corners into the grapevine to secure.
Add cable tie mounts to the backside of the sign, add extra adhesive if needed.
Fish pipe cleaners through the mounts and secure to grapevine.
Create Bow
Using your 4" double sided wired ribbon, make a long tail and form a loop from back to front.
Pinch and twist so the same side of the ribbon is showing.
Create another loop from back to front, making sure the loops are the same size.
Now add in the 1.5" double sided wired ribbon.
Start with a tail. Create a loop from back to front.
Pinch and twist. Create another loop to mirror it.
Next, create 1 more loop on each side leaving the opposite side of the ribbon showing.
Secure with a zip tie.
Trim all tails.
Fluff out tails and loops.
Secure the bow to the top of the grapevine with a zip tie.
Adjust bow as needed.
Let the tails cascade and frame the sign. You can direct the flow of the tails using zip ties.
Add Greenery and Florals
Spread open every single little curly swirly twig and branch to show off the colors and textures.
Weave your greenery into the direction of the grapevine.
Incorporate your greenery stems into the tails.
Trim ivy so you have more control over the design.
Bend the stems to create a waterfall effect coming out of the bottom of the grapevine.
Start hot gluing the stems in place.
Trim your colorful foam leaf stems and distribute evenly underneath the bow and at the bottom incorporating into the ivy waterfall.
Trim your large flower head and attach 1 to the center of the bow and the other to the center of that waterfall design at the bottom.
Hot glue to secure.
Add in your blue filler flowers below the bottom flower head.
Fill extra buds into your design as you see fit.
