#33 Vine Wreath
My husband and I were working out in the yard this past weekend and he pulled a vine from a cedar tree.
Rather than throwing it off into the woods, I smuggled it to the back porch until I could get a cool, fall afternoon
to turn it into a very nice wreath.
This wreath is hand-woven by me. A lot of cheap wreaths that you get at craft stores or even home décor
stores are hastily made by taking a bundle of vines and tying them into shape with only one or two vines. If one
of the containment vines breaks (as they are wont to do over time as they dry out and become brittle), the entire
wreath falls apart.
Not my wreaths; my wreaths last year after year. I made one for myself four or five Christmases ago that I
hang on our front door. I’ll even confess to leaving it out on the porch until spring (!) this past year, in the sun
and the rain, and it was still whole and in good shape when I put it back in the barn. I make my wreaths by
taking a length of vine and weaving it on itself in a love knot. If one section of vine breaks, it won’t fall apart.
This rustic wreath is pretty to hang on a wall or door by itself, or you can hot glue decorations to it. For my
yearly Christmas wreath, I cut pine or cedar greenery and tuck it into the wreath and then wire a large bow to
it. When Christmas is past, I pull the browning greenery from the wreath, put my bow away, and (eventually)
put the wreath back in the garage, ready to go again next year.
100% organic, all-natural, wild, renewable Tennessee vine. I’m actually not sure what kind of vine it is. It’s not
honeysuckle or muskydine (wild grape) or Virginia creeper, and I’m pretty certain it’s not wisteria. Whatever it
is, it isn’t is poisonous, so that’s all that really matters!
It is roughly egg-shaped, and approximately 10” in diameter in the center and about 2.25” thick and about 14.5”
lengthwise. Our horse, Infanta, thought you might need her head in the last picture so you can gauge the size.
