I found this little grapevine swag one day at a thrift store for a buck and couldn’t help but bring it home. I really didn’t have anything particular in mind for it but I knew I liked its shape and lines.As much as I love the look of natural grapevine, once I found a use for it, I knew it needed a little paint. (I know… shocker!) I dry brushed on some Annie Sloan Chalk paint in Pure White, enough to cover most of the piece but not all. (directions for dry brushing…) The softness of the white looked so pretty with the natural colour of the vines peaking through so I was really glad I hadn’t just slapped the paint on and covered it all. Once it was painted, I made some yarn pom-poms to hang from the bottom of the swag. To secure them, I tied longer pieces of the yarn around each pom-pom and then around the bottom of the grapevines. The painted grapevine swag turned out to be the perfect piece to hang the soft pom-poms from while creating a whimsical decoration for the wall.

This is so beautiful Lisa. You were lucky to find it like that at the store, I will have to go out into the wild and look for branches to bend.. or even snap (oh no ) to get that look. I love what you did with it and would be happy if you’d share it with us at our new link party Sweet Inspiration. It runs Friday till Tuesday.
