WHAT
TO DO:
-
Cut a piece of chicken wire
fencing approximately 2’ x 4’ long. Spray fencing green and let dry.
-
Bend
it into a flat back basket shape that will fit on the outside of
grapevine wreath near the bottom (see illustration).
-
Fold over the edge of fencing so
that there are no sharp edges exposed.
-
Attach the wire basket to vine
with floral wire in 4 places.
-
From the inside, attach the green
moss pushing it through the holes somewhat to disguise the wire.
-
Now you have your basic wreath you
can decorate!
-
For
fall or Thanksgiving, add the beautiful miniature pumpkins and
squashes. Fill in with
pretty leaves or fall flowers. Add an autumn bow to decorate the vine.
-
For
Halloween, add small pumpkins, Halloween ghosts or cats. Finish the book with spider webbing on the vine and purple
and black ribbons!
-
For Christmas, add a small pot
with real or silk poinsettias. Fill in with ivy, holly, and white dried flowers.
Add a gold ribbon to the vine!
 FALL SWAG
(Pretty
around your door!)
What
you need:
-
Rope (natural) ¼” – ½”
-
Hot glue gun
-
Floral wire
-
Leaves, natural or silk
WHAT
TO DO:
-
Begin
by measuring how long of a swag you need. It can be over a door or around the three sides.
-
Cut rope, and then add your floral wire around so that
you can bend the swag easily.
-
If you are using natural leaves, press them first
overnight between books with paper towels. This will make them lay flat and be easier to glue.
-
Begin
in the center and work from side to side, gluing leaves, overlapping
them for a natural look.
