What vine plants other than grape can be used for forming wreaths?

Any plant you care to use is suitable to make a wreath.It is a matter of correct usage of placement materials with the plant matter.

What vine plants other than grape can be used for forming wreaths?
My favorite is honeysuckle. It is strong, yet easy to work with; it makes light weight, dainty wreaths; availability is good, low to the ground. It grows back quickly if you don't ravage it. In my shop, I use it for garland as well.
Reply:i cannot remember the name, b ut there is any ivy that has heart shaped leaves that you can train into almost anything you want. sold at any garden center, I have even seem them at wal mart
Reply:wysteria

morning glory (very thin, good for small wreath)

kudzu (loooots of that available)
Reply:Wisteria does well. But personally, I would go to a place like Michael's or a craft store for one already made. Ready made has already dried so there is no shrinkage, plus one does not risk a manicure. Maybe I'm lazy but unless you have the vines already growing in your garden, the cost of a ready made, especially if you have a coupon from Michael's or A.C. Moore for 40% is more cost efficient. Plus the stores have different shapes. I have seen some attractive square wreaths, plus hearts for Valentines.
