This beautiful oversized Christmas wreath is so easy to make and takes very little materials. I really love making my own wreath because then I can get it to look exactly like what I am envisioning and not sacrifice on size or materials used.
How to Make a Beautiful Christmas Grapevine Wreath:
So here is what you need to get started.
Materials Needed:
- 24″ Grapevine Wreath
- Frosted Berry Picks (I used 2)
- Mini Olive Leaf Bundle (I used 2)
- Green Cedar Spray (I used 4)
- Red Ribbon – 1.5″ and 7/8″
- Floral Wire
- Wire Cutters
- Wood Merry Christmas Ornament
- White Spray Paint
- Scissors
Step 1: Bundle the greenery and attach to wreath
The first thing is to grab one cedar spray, 1 berry pick, and 1 olive leaf bundle. Layer them together and wrap the green wire around the base. Then tuck your bundle into the side of the wreath and secure it with more green wire. I placed mine slightly at an angle so the stems looked like they were coming off the sides for a more full look.
You can add an additional cypress pick to the front of your attached bundle for even more fullness.
Simply cut the stem with the cutters and tuck it into the wreath in front of the attached bundle and secure it with wire or even hot glue.
Step 2: Repeat to the other side
Simply repeat what you did on the last side to the opposite side. Be mindful of placement so they are at an even distance when it is hung. I placed it on and checked it before securing with wire just to make sure.
Tip: When securing with wire, wrap around stems on the wreath and the base of your bundle, then twist the wire real tight. Then cut the ends and tuck. This twist method makes for less movement of the stems and really keeps them in place.
Step 3: Cut ribbon and attach
I used 2 different sizes of ribbon, 1.5″ and 7/8″. I loved the layered look and wanted multiple strands so I thought the two sizes would be pretty. Not necessary and if you wanted to use only one size then make sure to cut an additional strand.

I cut my strands approximately 42″ and I cut two of each size. Then I just wrapped them around the center section between my attached greenery stems and tied them in a knot. It is that simple!
I then “bunny-eared” cut the ends by folding a strand in half and then cutting at an angle to finish the ribbon ends.
Step 4: Spray paint Christmas ornament
This step you actually could do first to give the paint some time to dry as you are building the rest of the wreath. Technically you should let the paint dry for 24 hours. But I cheated and waited maybe 45 min.
I just grabbed an old box and with long even strokes spray painted the front of the ornament. I also went along the sides to get the inside white.
Step 5: Attach ornament to wreath
Using the same method to attach the greenery stems, wrap a piece of cut wire through the wreath and thread it through the top of the ornament. Then twist the ends of the wire together, cut the excess, and tuck to hide.
And friends that is it! I mean seriously one of the easiest wreaths ever to make and it took under an hour.
I really think this wood Christmas ornament is a showstopper and it even lights up!
The frosted touch on the berry picks is so pretty and I even snagged some for my Christmas tree this year.
I love the red pop of the ribbon to tie in with the berries.
For now, I have it styled with this doormat and lanterns from Hobby Lobby, as well as my planters that I have up year-round. I have plans to add in my holiday decor but you will have to stay tuned for that reveal in a few weeks.
Things to Know
- A grapevine wreath provides a sturdy, natural base that works well with traditional, rustic, farmhouse, and woodland Christmas decorating styles.
- Grapevine wreath forms come in different diameters, so the right size depends on whether the wreath will hang on a door, wall, window, or mantel.
- Fresh or faux greenery such as pine, cedar, eucalyptus, and fir can be layered onto the grapevine base for a fuller Christmas look.
- Floral wire, paddle wire, or zip ties are commonly used to secure greenery and decorations without permanently altering the grapevine base.
- Berries, pinecones, ornaments, bells, ribbon, and decorative picks can add color and texture while establishing the wreath’s overall Christmas style.
- Leaving some grapevine visible can highlight the natural texture of the wreath and create a more relaxed, organic appearance.
- Fresh greenery may dry and shed over time, while quality faux greenery can allow the wreath to be stored and reused for future Christmas seasons.
- Outdoor wreaths need weather-resistant decorations and secure attachments, particularly when exposed to rain, snow, wind, or direct sunlight.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size grapevine wreath works best for a front door?
A 24-inch grapevine wreath is the sweet spot for most standard front doors. Consider a larger 30-inch wreath for double doors, wider entrances, or oversized door frames.
How do I keep the greenery from falling off my wreath over time?
The twist-and-tuck wire method is the most reliable way to secure greenery to a grapevine wreath base. Wrap floral wire tightly around each greenery bundle and tuck the ends securely into the grapevine.
Can I make a Christmas grapevine wreath without any prior crafting experience?
Absolutely, this project is genuinely beginner-friendly and requires no special skills. A grapevine base makes arranging greenery, ribbon, berries, and other decorative elements relatively simple.
How do I hang a heavy grapevine wreath without damaging my front door?
An over-the-door wreath hanger rated for the weight of your wreath is the safest and most damage-free option. Check the hanger’s weight capacity before hanging a heavily decorated wreath.
How long will a decorated grapevine wreath last outdoors through the winter?
A well-constructed grapevine wreath can last through an entire holiday season outdoors and often holds up for multiple years with proper storage. Keep it protected from severe weather and store it in a wreath box or protective bag between seasons.
