How to make grapevine balls
Making your own grapevine balls is a fun and easy way to add some festive flair to your home this holiday season. Just simply follow the steps below and you will have your grapevine balls in no time!
1. Simply thread some string lights inside the balls and tie them in place with a bit of garden twine.
2. Thread the lights to the 2 medium balls and then, take the large ball and thread it onto the lights. Make sure to wrap the lights around the balls evenly so that the grapevine ball is evenly lit.
3. To hang a DIY grapevine ball, follow these simple steps. First, screw two white eye hooks into the ceiling. Next, take a piece of burlap ribbon and tie it around the grapevine ball, making sure the ball is secure. Finally, hang the grapevine ball from the eye hooks.
4. While I worked on the placement, I balanced the birch branch on a couple of chairs. The balls had to touch and be relatively stationary to hide the wiring.
5. There are two outdoor extension cords connected to the lights. One loop of burlap ribbon hides the plugs of each cord. Between the screen and railing, the extension cord is hidden down the side of the porch. Finally, the porch project is coming together!
Then, string up the balls however you like – you could even make a chandelier! Not only are grapevine balls a beautiful way to decorate your outdoor space, but they’re also very affordable. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
