Make your own crescent moon shaped wreath using a regular round wire wreath form and grapevine.
Servings: 1 wreath
Cost: $15
Equipment
- Wire Cutters
- Glue Gun
- scissors
- garden clippers
Ingredients
- round wire wreath form
- fresh grape vine
- wire
- black spray paint
- pom moms
- mini pumpkins
- mini disco balls
- faux florals
- paper black butterflies
- glitter paper stars
Instructions
- The first step is to cut out a small section of the round wreath form. Use wire cutters to cut it. Once you have a section of the round wreath form removed, you can create your crescent shape. Use some floral wire to gather the ends of the wreath form together, and secure it tightly to create each end of the crescent moon.
- Next you begin to add your grapevine. Cut the grapevine pieces to the right length and wire them onto the wreath from. As you go, you will want some pieces of grapevine that are shorter, to bulk up the middle section of the wreath. Try and tuck the ends into the wreath as you build it. Once it is how you like it wrap the wire around tightly and secure at the end. Also, twist some wire to the back to create a wreath hanger.
- Next, spray paint your wreath black. Remember to do several light coats to avoid dripping, and spray from different angles, and from the back for full coverage. Let if dry fully before the next step.
- Start by adding two sizes of yarn pom poms, mini velvet pumpkins, black faux florals, and some mini disco ball ornaments. Use the wire cutters to cut the flowers to the right size. Use hot glue and black wire to attach the embellishments to the wreath. Lastly, we hot-glued some wire onto the black paper butterflies, and pink glitter paper stars. The wire means the butterflies and stars can stand out from the wrath and add dimension.
Notes
If you are spray painting your wreath it doesn't matter what color of wire you use to attach the grapevine. If you want to leave your grapevine natural, be sure to use a brown wire that will disappear.
Attach your hanging wire and test it before you add the embellishments.
Adding wire to the paper butterflies and stars means they can pop out form the wreath and add some dimension to the design.
Use any colors or combination of colors you like. If you prefer traditional orange, black and purple for Halloween, use these colors.
Decorate this wreath for other occasions with different embellishments, or for year round use with moss, flowers, and mushrooms.
