Grapevine Wreath Ornaments with free SVG file

These miniature grapevine wreath ornaments are adorable and this tutorial comes with a free SVG cut file to make this Christmas craft even easier to complete. This ornament will look great on your tree this year.

WHAT SIZE GRAPEVINE WREATHS ARE USED?

There are different sizes of grapevine wreaths available at most craft stores.

This project is adaptable to the size of wreath you are able to get or have on hand.

I prefer a 3-inch wreath. It is still small enough to be ornament sized, but big enough that the word on the wreath can be clearly read.

HOW TO MAKE GRAPEVINE WREATH ORNAMENTS

These grapevine wreath ornaments are so cute you will want to make extras to give out as gifts. It is easy once you get started to make a whole bunch in one sitting.

I have this tutorial set up so you will be making 6 ornaments that all have a different message on them.

STEP ONE: PAINT CARDBOARD

Grab an empty cereal box and cut a flat piece of cardboard. This is the perfect thickness for the project.

Paint one section of the cardboard white and one section black using the acrylic paint. Allow these to dry completely.

STEP TWO: CUT CIRCLES

Once the cardboard is dry it is time to cut some circles out.

It works best to lay one of the wreaths on the cardboard and trace a circle around the outside edge of the wreath onto the cardboard.

Cut out 6 circles. Three need to be white and three need to be black.

Set the circles aside for now and DO NOT glue them to the wreaths yet.

STEP THREE: CUT VINYL

Now it is time to download the free SVG cut file.

Once you have downloaded the cut files you need to upload them to Cricut Design Space.

Pick which of the sayings you would like on the white wreaths and which on the black wreaths. Based on that determination, cut the corresponding lettering on the opposite colored heat transfer vinyl.

Don’t forget to mirror the images AND make sure they’re sized correctly for your particular grapevine wreath size.

Also, I like to select “attach” or “weld” for simple text images like this so that I have less trouble keeping them in order when I go to apply the designs to my blank.

STEP FOUR: WEED & ATTACH

Weed your designs and apply the corresponding phrase to each cardboard circle, as desired.

Be sure to wait 5-seconds before removing the clear transfer tape sheet to help make sure the vinyl adheres to its best ability.

You can use the Cricut EasyPress Mini to heat set the vinyl to the cardboard.

STEP FIVE: GLUE CIRCLE TO WREATH

Put hot glue on the back of the grapevine wreath and sit it down centered on the cardboard circle so you can see the word in the middle.

STEP SIX: ADD HANGER & BUTTON

Add the finishing touches to your ornament by adding a ribbon at the top so you can hang the ornament. You can also use a wire ornament hanger for convenience.

It is also fun to hot glue a cute Christmas button or embellishment to the front of the wreath to dress it up a little bit.

WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE A CRICUT?

This project is still very doable even if you don’t have a cutting machine.

One way to complete the project is to head to the craft store and buy some letter stickers. Look for small letter stickers that will fit inside the wreath space.

Another option is to use a small letter stencil and some paint. You can paint the messages on the cardboard.
