A grapevine wreath is used as a base for a garden-inspired design. Wrap the wreath with wire ribbon. Soak floral foam and cut to fit into tiny watering cans (available at craft stores). Poke holes into the foam with the back of a paintbrush and insert flowers to create a bouquet. Insert a bouquet into each can and tie onto the wreath with more wire ribbon.
