Making A Wreath

I had to prune my grapevine today so I made a wreath. Any viney or long, pliable plant can make a wreath. I've used evergreen prunings like junipers and confederate jasmine. You can try anything, some are easier than others. Grapevines seem to almost want to cooperate.

Take a handful of prunings and start with the longest one. It doesn't take much room to do this so my pottery bench is handy.

If the thick end is a but stiff just bend it a bit in the direction of the curve to loosen up the fibers. Then bend it in as close to a circle as you can and start twisting it around to hold the circle in place. Weave it back and forth around any branches, leaving them for later.

Winnie the Chicken is hoping for a few dropped leaves.

Once it's all twisted pick up the next longest one and twist it around from the lightest part of the circle. Bend the big end in a few spots if you have to. Weave it back and forth around the any branches, again leaving them for later.

Winnie got tired of waiting for dropped leaves or whatever and went off to pay with the other chickens.

Repeat with the 3rd. Aggie and Chimie (pronounced Kimmy) came looking for Winnie...and any dropped leaves or whatever. If it's full enough at 3, you can stop there. Up to you and your prunings.

and 4th longest trimmings, starting at the lightest spot each time. When you get to the end of the 4th trimming, start twisting in the branches. If it looks good to have one or 2 branching out, leave them. It's your wreath, so make it artsy the way you want. If it's still too thin for your liking, add another pruning.

Now let it dry for a few days. The leaves will get dry and crumble off easily then you can leave it as is to hang it or decorate it with whatever you want from the house or garden. Bows, stars, cloven citrus, nuts, candy...have fun!

Ignore the mess the chickens have made on the other end of the bench. They'll be cooped in another week or so. I can't wait to get my porch/workshop back in order! Yes, I like their company but chickens do make an horrendous mess!
