I love a climbing plant and because I’m not good with houseplants, I decided to make a faux climbing topiary for my bathroom.
This Grapevine Topiary is an easy DIY project that you can complete 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
Supplies for Grapevine Topiary
- Container
- Grapevine wreath – approx. the same diameter as your container.
- Greenery Stem
- Hot Glue Gun
- Styrofoam block
- 2 sticks ( or dowel rods) Cut slightly longer than the depth of your container.
- Spanish Moss
- Green Moss

STep 1 – Secure the Grapevine
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 begin to apply the smaller cuttings by weaving them into the grape vine as though they are climbing up. Use small amounts of hot glue to secure the cuttings in place.

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.
Here is a smaller version that I made previously. It was the inspiration for the larger one I’m sharing today. You can get creative and use any type of greenery for your climbing topiary. I’d like to try ivy next!
Did you see the wreath I made using Terra Cotta Pots? It was another fun project and you can see it here.
I hope you enjoyed this easy DIY Grapevine Topiary Tutorial. Please feel free to ask any questions and your suggestions are always welcome.

I have a Christmas Topiary but never had the chance to bring it out for Christmas.
I will this next coming Christmas.
You are so talented in decorating that I wish we lived closer to each other because I feel like I have known you a long time in life.
