Before we get started, gather these supplies:

✔ 14-inch grapevine wreath base
✔ 8-10 Bead grass stems
✔ Hot Glue Skillet
✔ Wire cutters
✔ Hot glue sticks
✔ Rope

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Bead Grass Stems

Start by trimming your bead grass stems to your preferred length using wire cutters. 

2. Attach the Bead Grass to the Grapevine Wreath

Take one bead grass bush at a time and insert it into the natural gaps of the grapevine base. Secure it with hot glue to keep it in place. Continue adding bushes, following the natural curve of the wreath, slightly overlapping each one.

3. Fill in Any Gaps

After the first layer of bead grass is attached, step back and check for any sparse areas. Fill them in with extra bead grass stems to achieve a full and balanced look.

4. Add Rope or a Decorative Bow (Optional)

For a finishing touch, hot glue rope on to the grapevine or attach a ribbon bow at the top of the wreath.

5. Final Adjustments

Ensure all stems are securely attached and trim any excess for a polished, professional look. Your DIY bead grass wreath is now ready to display!
