Place a dried vine wreath on a flat working surface. Cut it into curved sections.
Cross the first two curves at both sides to create the basic shape and secure with bind wire
Bind wire is a paper covered wire. See the Tutorial below for detailed instructions on how to make your own bind wire
This creates a cradle shape for your cup
Add another vine curve and secure it at every cross point with wire
... add another vine curve
To blend in with the vine tendrils curl the wire ends
