    10. Instruction #5
    11. Pull white yarn apart to make it look more like spider webbing.

    13. Use the separated yarn to go around the middle of the wreath, wrapping it through the grapevine. Twist and overlap until it is as full you want. (You want to have a lot in the middle to adhere the plaque to it later.) Tie a knot at the end.
