Hello, Friends! 🙂 I hope you are having a great start to your week!
As I’ve said before, I don’t usually decorate for St. Paddy’s Day, but this year I added small touches of green around the house. I started with the Quatrefoil and Four Leaf Clover printable and now I’ve added this:
I wanted to keep the quatrefoil theme going because it’s so classic and add touches of green to the wreath. This project was extremely affordable for the scale of the wreath! I made it for just $16.00.
To get started, you will need: four grapevine wreaths, thin brown ribbon or wire, greenery garland, and ribbon.
Lie two wreaths side by side and tie them together with the ribbon or wire. Be sure to make the knot snug.
Repeat the same process with the other two wreaths. Then lay one set of two on top of the other to make the quatrefoil.
Now securely tie these together with the ribbon or wire. I went around and through the grapevine. The picture below is a close up of where I tied the wreaths.
Now weave the greenery garland in and around the wreath. I simply tucked the ends of the garland into the wreath. I did not tie it. This will make it easy for me to quickly change the appearance of the wreath with the seasons.
Now do the same thing with the ribbon. Again, I tucked the ribbon ends into the grapevine.
And there you have it! I hung the wreath above the fireplace in the middle of a decorative wrought iron wall hanging. It reminds me of an old garden gate. 🙂
The all green wreath is perfect for St. Paddy’s Day, but I plan on changing out the ribbon and adding some fabric flowers for spring. 🙂
Instructions for Making the Quatrefoil Grapevine Wreath
Materials Needed
- Four grapevine wreaths
- Thin brown ribbon or wire
- Greenery garland
- Ribbon
Steps
1. Prepare the Tulle
Gather all your materials in a spacious area where you can comfortably work on your project.
2. Create the Volume
Instead of using tulle, focus on tying the wreaths together to create volume in your design.
3. Prepare the Poly Satin Circles
Cut any additional ribbon or garland as needed to decorate your wreath according to your style.
4. Layer the Components
Layer two wreaths side by side and tie them together securely. Repeat with the other two wreaths. Stack them to create the quatrefoil shape.
5. Additional Personalization
Weave in greenery and ribbon to personalize your wreath. Tuck the ends in without tying them to allow for seasonal changes.
6. Attach the Clip-On Earring
This step can be skipped if it does not apply to the wreath project, as clip-ons may refer to a different craft.
7. Prepare the Shoes
Prepare a space for your wreath display, such as above a fireplace or on a door.
8. Make Additional Pairs
Consider making more wreaths for different occasions or seasons—experiment with colors and materials!
9. Enjoy Your Custom Creation
Take pride in your custom wreath! Share your work with friends and enjoy your creative endeavor.
