Step 1

Lay your grapevine wreath flat on a table. With some masking tape, mark the shape of a crescent.

Step 2

Use floral wire cutters to cut away the grapevine outside of the marked crescent shape.
TIP: Discard the cut away grapevine as the remaining crescent shape of grapevine will be the base to your wreath.

Step 3

Use hot glue to attach the moss to the outside of the crescent.

Step 4

Cut the blooms (or heads) off the bushes, then glue them to the moss.

Step 5

Cut a few leaves from the bushes and add them as desired but keep them to a minimum.

Step 6

Use floral wire to attach strung crystals to chain.

Step 7

Loop the crystal embellished chain to the top of the grapevine wreath and use a jump ring to attach the end of the chain to the hanging chain. Repeat until you have three chains of hanging crystals.

Step 8

Finish the crescent by accenting the wreath with a couple of feathers.
