Materials

  • Old or new Grapevine Wreath
  • Fresh Magnolia Leaves
  • Mod Podge optional

Instructions

  • Gather a large supply of fresh magnolia leaves
  • If you wish to preserve the leaves, paint with mod podge, front and back, with two coats and allow to dry. This option should be done at least one day in advance of assembly.
  • Add hot glue to the stem of each magnolia leaf
  • Beginning on the outside edge of the wreath, push the stem into the grapevine wreath
  • Locate a gap between the vines and secure the leaf stem in the gap
  • Angle the leaves along the side of the grapevine wreath and overlap as you go.
  • The next row will be applied the same, overlapping the first row as you go.
  • Most wreaths will require 4 rows of magnolia leaves
  • Add a few reverse side leaves to add interest.
