I'm not going to lie, this is fiddly! It's not difficult, it just involves a lot of wrapping tape close together so just gets a bit fiddly! It doesn't take though, probably about an hour all together.
Grapevine Wire
(Mine was from Amazon, I have tons left over from a previous DIY)
Florist tape
(again I had lots left over,but was originally from Amazon)
String
Christmas Foliage
Mine was from Lidl, it was £3 bunch
Step 1
Firstly make a loop your desired size with the grapevine wire, I twisted it all around to add extra structure to the loop to try and hold the shape. I then use the tape to secure the ends.
Step 2
Start adding the foliage in your desired design by placing it against the loop, holding in place and wrapping the tape to secure. Florist tape will turn sticky when wrapped.
I wanted to make mine a symmetrical as possible, I wanted lots of foliage at the bottom with a few going up the sides.
Step 3
I then wrapped string at the bottom in the middle to hide the leftover tape on display. I added a little wooden heart I found in my craft box and made a handle from some string.
All done!
Please excuse the terrible quality of this photo!
