Charming Simplicity: Spring Garland with Grapevine Twig
This post is a throwback from last year, but it’s just as timely now! While we’re not snowed in at the moment, the weather is bitterly cold—and our friends on the coast even have snow on the beaches! It’s the perfect time to stay cozy indoors and get creative. This charming spring garland made with grapevine twigs is a simple and beautiful way to start dreaming of warmer days ahead.
I adore this style of spring garland with grapevine twigs woven among the blooms! It brings such a rustic yet charming touch to any space.
Snowed In (Jan 2024)
We are still snowed in, or more like iced in! This is extremely unusual weather for Mississippi and we’re on day FOUR now of being unable to get out safely. So while we wait patiently, I’ve been looking at some of the images I made while at the Dallas market last week.
Spring Garland
I snapped a photo of the spring garland in the Round Top showroom and absolutely loved the touch of grapevine twig they added—it’s such a lovely detail! The image below isn’t the best quality, but it gives you a wider view of the garland to show off its full effect.
The display might be a bit cluttered, but just focus on the beautiful spring garland! 😊 I think you could easily replicate this look by using a eucalyptus garland and some floral sprays, paired with an unwrapped grapevine wreath. The grapevine has a natural curl to it, which is exactly how it looks when you unwind a wreath—giving it that rustic, effortless charm.
To unwind a grapevine wreath, simply remove any wires or larger twigs that are holding it together. Once that’s done, you can gently unwind the wreath and separate it into a few strands. It’s an easy way to create that natural, rustic look perfect for adding texture to your spring garland!
Here’s a great video from my good friend, Julie Siomacco of Southern Charm Wreaths! In this tutorial, she demonstrates how to make a grapevine wreath larger, but it also gives you a clear idea of how to take one apart. It’s such a helpful resource for working with grapevine and creating beautiful, custom designs!
You could always take the easy route and just buy a roll of grapevine twig! 😊 But if you’ve ever had a warped grapevine wreath that just wouldn’t lay flat, that’s a perfect one to tear apart and repurpose. Use it in a spring garland like this one or in other creative decorations—it’s a great way to upcycle!
I love using little leftover pieces of grapevine twig in projects! They’re so versatile and add a natural touch to any design. For example, I’ve used them in this winter lantern, and they worked beautifully to bring a rustic, cozy feel. Don’t let those scraps go to waste—they’re perfect for smaller accents!
Product Suggestions from Trendy Tree
Now is the perfect time to shop for spring florals from Trendy Tree! 🌸 New products are arriving weekly, and the selection is fantastic. Whether you’re looking for bright blooms or greenery to freshen up your space, you’ll find plenty of beautiful options to get a head start on your spring decorating.
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love wreaths made out of grapevine twig! One of my favorite things about making grapevine wreaths is how reusable they are.
Now, I don’t make wreaths to sell—I just make them for myself. So, you’ll often see me using the same grapevine wreaths over and over again. I usually attach florals in a way that makes them easy to remove, so I can swap them out with something new whenever I want a fresh look. It’s such a simple way to keep things updated without buying a new wreath each time!
Foresight
I really wish I’d had the foresight to stock up on supplies before this cold weather hit! Now would be the perfect time to make a spring garland, but unfortunately, I’m missing a few key materials. I do have a eucalyptus garland, but I’m out of blooms and don’t have any extra grapevine on hand. So, instead of crafting, I’ll just share my ideas with you—hopefully, you’ll be inspired to give it a try yourself!
By the way, I mentioned that a warped grapevine wreath is perfect for taking apart—well, here’s a tutorial I did one summer for Trendy Tree that shows how to fix a warped grapevine wreath. It might come in handy for you someday! And if it doesn’t? Take it apart and use the pieces for other projects—they’re always great for adding that rustic touch! 😉
