Grapevine balls provide a simple and inexpensive way to add a rustic touch to decor. Turning a grapevine ball into a decorative light will transform your home just in time for the holidays, leaving guests impressed and begging to know who your designer is.
This DIY project also makes an ideal gift if you want to start checking friends and family off the list this holiday season. All you need is two materials and about five minutes to become a crafting queen (or king). Added bonus: These string light balls seem equally at home enhancing an interior room or dressing up a backyard gathering.
