Spring Grapevine Wreath

You may have heard about all the snow in the northeast.  Fortunately, we didn't get as much as some areas, but the white stuff is still EVERYWHERE!  Since Mother Nature seems to be off her meds again, I created a wreath to encourage her to deliver some Springtime weather.
Last month I bundled up and trudged through the snow to grab some of the vines that were growing wild.  If you missed it, you can read about it HERE.  In addition to the grapevine heart, I made this wreath.  
It was an easy process that involved about 9 lengths of vine that were about 6' each.  I started by making a circle with one and winding the vine around it. 
I kept adding, winding, and wrapping vines... 
...until I got to a size I liked.
The finished wreath is 18 inches in diameter.

I bought 4 bunches of tulips for $2 each and some burlap ribbon for $1.  That's right, the total cost was $9!
Since I want to use this wreath for several seasons, the tulips and the bow were attached with wire.  In a few months, they can easily be removed and replaced with something summery!


Let's hope Mother Nature is paying attention.  What Spring projects are you up to?  I'd love to hear about them!

Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day and stop by again soon!
