Wreath Making




When our boys were young, we had a family tradition of making Christmas wreathes from the abundant evergreen boughs in our area. Now that we are in an area almost devoid of evergreen trees but very well supplied with grapevines, we decided to take a class on how to make wreathes from grapevines. We really enjoyed it and this will now be a new tradition for us. Here's the first one we made ourselves! We made several more and they just got better each time. The best part of these grapevine wreathes is that they last from year to year - the evergreen ones dried up and had to be made new every year. We also like that the vine wreathes can be used for several different seasonal events, depending on how they are decorated.
