Grapevine Autumn Ribbon Wreath

Simple Autumn Wreath

Creating a wreath is not complicated and can be done in less time and with less money than one thinks. Using a small/medium sized grapevine wreath (a favorite to work with), 1 fall leaf bundle, 2 1/2 inch fall colored ribbon, and a pumpkin clip (optional), anyone can construct a wreath perfect for the pumpkin season.

Materials:

  • 1 small/medium grapevine wreath
  • 1 fall leaf bundle
  • 2 1/2 inch by 12 foot autumn colored or designed ribbon
  • Pumpkin clip to match ribbon 
Directions:

  1. Wrap ribbon around the wreath starting 6-7 inches from the starting edge of the ribbon.
  2. Wrap around the wreath tightly, straightening along the way and leaving gaps. 
  3. Leaving 7-8 inches at the end, cut the ribbon.
  4. Tie into a double knot.
  5. Place the pumpkin clip over the knot, clipping onto the straight part of the ribbon just above the knot.
  6. Separate the leaves and place where desired.
For an even easier wreath, get three pumpkin clips and two to three leaf bundles. Clip the pumpkin clips around the wreath and place the leaves in the areas between them. All of these items came from Michaels and was a little over $12, took all of 5 minutes to make, and there is a lot of extra ribbon for more projects.
