vines, grapevines, preserving, drying. HELP!

[Drew]

I have some great vine and grapevine sections I would like to use. How do I seal, dry or preserve them so that they will keep looking great? Thanks. Drew

I assume your wanting to make wreaths with them. Vines can be easier formed into wreaths while they still have moisture in them. Just cut the vines and form them into wreaths and when you feel they are full enough simply hang them up to dry. I,ve dried them hanging in my garage and outside hanging on my deck. I don't see much difference either way.
