Large Grapevine Wreath with Pinecones

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• 24" Grapevine wreath
• 6' Eucalyptus leaf garland
• 1 white Heather spray
• 2 Red mini rose spray
• 1 Bag medium pine cones
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• Wire cutters
• 24-gauge floral wire

DIRECTIONS:

1. Locate the top of the wreath. Separate and remove the Eucalyptus leaf stems from the long garland stem.
2. Insert the individual stems of Eucalyptus into the grapevine forming the desired shape of wreath. Hot glue to secure the stems to the wreath.
3. Separate the white Heather. Trim individual pieces or clusters of Heather from the main stem. Insert throughout the wreath.
4. Separate and cut mini Rose spay in small clusters. Place throughout the wreath. When the desired look is achieved with the Heather & Roses, hot glue the floral to attach.
5. To add the pine cones to the wreath, cut a piece of 24-gauge floral wire and wrap it around the base of the pine cone. Wind it through the cone so it doesn't damage it and so the wire will not be visible. Twist and bend the wire in order to secure it to the pine cone.
6. Add pine cones to the wreath. Hot glue the wire to the wreath to secure.

Craft Hack Tips and Tricks:

• Use a longer piece of Eucalyptus with a longer stem for height at the top of the wreath.
• When hot gluing the greens and floral in place, be sure to begin at the top and work around the wreath so you don't miss a piece.
