Good morning! Just sharing some ideas with you on how I decorated a grapevine wreath for my front door. Instead of repeating the information, here's a link to the the blog post on jeanniepence.com: DIY Eucalyptus Wreath with Beautiful Blooms

The colors in this wreath are some of my favorite colors. And this wreath will work on my front door until fall if I choose to leave it that long))) Do you like changing out your front door wreath frequently? Me too!
I was able to use some leftover pieces of florals from my "bin" I keep in my craft room. I'll bet you have the same kind of collection)) Never throw anything anything away I say. You'd be surprised how handy those leftover pieces can be sometimes.
My wreath was sort of a re-purposed type wreath since I had found a bargain eucalyptus wreath at a discount place. I was able to take the pieces off the discount wreath and give them new life by adding in some fresh new florals and greenery. Re-purposing is fun!
Now, most of the time when I'm crafting I try to avoid hot glue just so I can reuse items later in other projects. But for a grapevine wreath made with florals all around that is kind of hard to do.
Sometimes on grapevines, I make a floral bundle and just attach the bundle to the grapevine and add a bow. Or sometimes I just stick the floral stems down into the grapevine if it's not going to hand on a door outside. This makes it easy to change out for the seasons. Here are a couple of examples:
