How to Make Illuminated Grapevine Spheres
To create a simple but high impact outdoor holiday display, try these lighted grapevine spheres. They’re a great way to fill front porch urns that have been left empty once the summer and fall flowers fade.
Materials Needed
2) 12″ grapevine spheres
2 to 4 strands of waterproof LED “fairy lights”
2 urns or planters
2 live or artificial evergreen wreaths (that fit over urn opening)
live or artificial evergreen sprigs/sprays
pinecones
florist’s wire (optional)
hot glue gun and glue sticks (optional)
Wrap Lights
Wrap one or two waterproof LED fairy lights around each large grapevine sphere (Image 1). Position battery pack so it can rest inside the urn, out of site, but accessible to turn on and off. Wrap end of the light wire around grapevine brand to secure (Image 2). Tip: Traditional outdoor Christmas lights can also be used if an outlet is accessible.
Assemble Greenery and Sphere
Set a wreath, top-side-up, on top of each urn or planter pot. Tuck fresh or faux greenery sprigs, pinecones or berry stems into the wreath (Images 3 and 4). Florist’s wire or hot glue can be used to secure sprigs, if necessary. Set grapevine sphere on top the f wreath, tucking battery packs inside of urn. Turn on lights and enjoy the beautiful display that took only minutes to create (Image 5).
