What You’ll Need:
- Grapevine Base: Provides a sturdy and natural frame for your door swag.
- Deco Mesh (Red or Gold): Offers luxurious texture and a vibrant foundation.
- Red Roses: Faux roses add a timeless, romantic touch to the overall design.
- Large Central Heart: Acts as the eye-catching centerpiece of your swag. We purchased ours at Craft Outlet.

Step-by-Step Guide:
- Prepare Your Base: Begin with the grapevine base as the foundation for your swag. Its natural texture complements the deco mesh and lends a rustic charm.
- Layer the Deco Mesh: Create a rich and textured backdrop using the red and gold deco mesh. Weave and gather them across the grapevine base, securing with floral wire to form a flowing swag.
- Central Heart Placement: Position the large heart prominently in the center of your swag, ensuring it becomes the focal point. Use the glue skillet for a strong attachment, embedding it securely amidst the swag.
- Add Florals and Picks: Arrange the red roses radiating outwards from the heart. Secure the stems using the glue skillet for stability. Incorporate glitter heart picks throughout, allowing them to punctuate the florals with a playful sparkle.
