So I blogged awhile back about the initial wreath that was featured on Design Sponge and how much I liked it and wanted to do it as one of this year's Christmas crafts.
Well I completed the grapevine frame awhile back and today I added all of the greenery. The greenery that I used is a bit more Christmas-y and is artificial greenery as opposed to the fresh greenery used in the Design Sponge one. But even though it's artificial, I think it still looks pretty good and I'll be able to enjoy it for many years to come.
I added the use of my handy dandy glue gun to get some of the branches to permanently bend in the direction that I wanted them to, since the initial that I was doing was a bit more curvy than the one featured.
So what do you think? It really was a lot easier to do than I thought it would be. The hardest part was wrestling with the grapevine and getting it tamed with all of the floral wire. I got a few scrapes and blisters on my hands from that, but I think it was well worth it.
Up next: Felt holly garland!
this is oh-so-lovely!
