Decorating with grapevine wreaths are one of those crafts that used to seems really dusty and out of date when I was younger. As I am getting older, I am slowly realizing not only how much potential they have, but how it’s a renewable resource for creating with from invasive vines. Grapevines aren’t just for grapes. They not only come in many sizes, but you can decorate with them all over your home including as a front door wreath, a centerpiece or on the backs of chairs.
If first discovered grapevine wreaths in the craft store dried florals section. Though I learned it’s pretty easy to make your own wild grapevine wreath from new vines and floral wire, so I am going to give that a try! I have made a wood twig wreath from new maple stems by twisting them and fastening them with twine. his was the first time I decorated with fall grapevine wreaths to decorate the back of chairs!
The one thing I love about grapevine wreaths is that they are so inexpensive, a natural vine and so versatile! Did you know you can make your own grapevine style wreath with fresh, young maple branches? This project was very simple. With all of the fall things on sale, it was easy to use a ribbon to hang them and stick a .99 floral pick in them. They are embellished with feathers and faux little veggies added with a hot glue gun and hung with ribbon for a cute back of the chair accent. They almost as a certain elegance!
I used then again for chair decor by decorating them with vintage style house numbers, some fun chevron ribbon, and a really big and cute burlap flower. These simple fall grapevine wreaths look so cute hanging on the back of the chairs!
On the black chairs, I did put a little eye hook in the back of my chair to hang them, but one of those stick on hook would probably work just as well. Tor my farmhouse style chairs, I just looped the ribbon surround and pinned it. They are really lightweight. They are so inexpensive, and for an invasive plant, they are cute and really dress up the chairs!
You can also use it as work forms to create a boxwood wreath by weaving the boxwood between the twigs.
Other Ways to Decorate Grapevine Wreaths

Grapevine Garland is another fun decor item
Grapevine garland is another thing that is so versatile in decor! They are full of nature’s charm and using a garland can really bring in the fall feeling, like with this spooky halloween mantel.
Grapevine wreaths made with finer wood can even be uncurled to create a vase like this nest-inspired vase.
The best part about Decorating with Grapevine Wreaths is that you can either change out what’s on them to change out the seasonality, or they store well from year to year. Just bag them up and put them away until you area ready for them next year.
