How to Make a DIY Grapevine Topiary: A Fun and Easy Project

Are you good with houseplants? I do much better with outdoor plants but love the look of greenery topiaries for indoor decor. This grapevine topiary is an easy DIY project, and you can make it in about 30 minutes. You only need a few supplies, and you will love the results. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about killing it. LOL

I love climbing plants, so I decided to make a faux climbing topiary for my bathroom. Since I’m not good with houseplants, I thought I might be able to keep it alive. LOL

How To Make A Grapevine Topiary

Depending on your chosen container, this easy tutorial can be made with large or small grapevine wreaths.

You can use purchased grapevine wreaths, thrifted wreaths, or foraged wreaths. With an abundant supply of wild grapevine, I decided to make some simple wreaths from the foraged grapevine.

It’s best to wrap the vine into a wreath while it is fresh. Otherwise, you may need to soak the vine in water before making the wreaths.

Supplies for Grapevine Topiary

• Container
• Grapevine wreath – approx. the same diameter as your container.
• Greenery Stems
• Hot Glue Gun
• Styrofoam block
• 2 sticks ( or dowel rods) Cut slightly longer than the depth of your container.
• Spanish Moss
• Green Moss
• Floral Wire Snips

Step 1 – Secure the Grapevine to Container

Begin by pushing one of the wooden sticks into the styrofoam in order to secure the grapevine to the container,

Apply hot glue to the bottom of the styrofoam and press into the bottom of the container. Hold until secure.

Next, separate a section of the grapevine wreath to allow the stick to be pushed through. Then use the second stick to push through another section of the grapevine and into the styrofoam. Using two sticks will hold the grapevine more securely.

In addition, add a few drops of hot glue around the sticks for extra stability.

Lastly, fill in around with spanish moss to hide the styrofoam.

I love making topiaries and here is one I shared last spring called Easy DIY Topiaries You Can Make Yourself. In addition, if you are looking for a container, you might like this tutorial on How to Age Clay Pots.

Make The Topiary

To create the climbing topiary, begin by cutting several pieces of the faux greenery stem.

Apply a generous bundle at the base of the grapevine to cover the sticks that are exposed.

Then, apply the smaller cuttings by weaving them into the grapevine as though they are climbing up.

Use small amounts of hot glue to secure the cuttings in place.

Finished Grapevine Topiary

Ta Da! See how easy that was. This project took less than 30 minutes to complete and I love the greenery in my master bathroom.
