How To Make A Grapevine Heart Wreath (2024)

Here’s a way to make a pretty DIY heart-shaped wreath that’s so easy!

If you are having a hard time finding a heart-shaped wreath form in the craft stores don’t worry…there’s an easy trick to making your own form!

You will need to buy a roll of grapevine garland. You can grab it the next time you go to Michael’s or from Amazon. I love this stuff; I use it around my front door in the Fall.

How To Make A Grapevine Heart Wreath (1)

Step 1. Form Heart Shape

First, I cut a 60-inch piece ( 152.4 cm) of the grapevine garland with a pair of sharp shears.

I took the two ends of the grapevine and bent them down to form the top of the heart; then I secured them together by wrapping floral wire around tightly.

I squished the bottom of the grapevine together and wrapped it with the floral wire to form the point of the heart wreath.

The grapevine wreath wants to close on itself so I put a heavy board on top for a couple of hours to flatten it out.

Step 2. Add The Flowers

Now it’s time for the flowers!

A heavy container kept the wreath flat while I was popping in the flowers. (it will hang up nicely at the end…you’ll see!!)

I was going for a simple, pretty look on this wreath using pink and white flowers and some dainty greenery. The flowers I had on hand from a bouquet I bought at Michael’s last Spring.

I added one large pink flower as the focus for the wreath.

Here are a few links to similar flowers that you can use to make your own heart-shaped wreath (Updated on 1/13/22):

Next, I tucked in a white carnation on either side of the rose followed by a lamb’s ear leaf.

Then I filled the grapevine heart in with small pieces of greenery and a pink baby’s breath-like flower.

Ready To Hang Up!

I used the wire at the top of the heart to hang up the wreath on my front door.

It’s such a fresh pretty look…especially in January ( we can pretend it’s Spring, right??)

1. Oh, I think it might be touch to form a larger heart with grapevine unless the grapevine garland was a little thicker that you were working with. In that case I would look for a premade grapevine heart and then use pretty flowers on it.

Hello Jennifer
I love your sweet heart shaped wreath (as well as all your amazing creations!!!) is it necessary to soak the grapevine garland prior to shaping it? It’s so calming and fun to see and try so many ideas!! I adore you and your friend Ann at Dabbling and Decorating. Your amazing talents are such inspirational ideas!!!
Reply
1. Oh, thank you so much Kathy!! I didn’t soak the grapevine but I did have to put something heavy on it to flatten it out…I think because I had stored the grapevine garland wrapped up so tightly that it had a mind of its own! Ann is great and her Maine home is just up the coast from me…small world!! Your comments made my day –Jennifer
