The grape clusters came out gorgeous. I inherited a small cluster of Jade grapes I have always loved them

[@beaualexander7000]

Thank you so much, Adele! I love the jade variations I’ve seen out, too 🍇

Thank you my sweet friend ☺️

[@chrischapman8010]

As a child of the 50's, every mom made grape clusters. My mother's were orange, by far your clear ones are my favorite.

[@beaualexander7000]

Awe! I bet this was nostalgic 🙌🏼 I’m so glad you enjoyed my take on a classic decor staple, my friend

[@sandyhicks4793]

I’m impressed. Seriously. How to color them? What product do you use to color them? You mentioned drops but didn’t say what exactly. I’m currently attempting to rewire a vintage cluster. My wire doesn’t seem to be gluing in the holes I drilled. I’m using Gorilla Super Glue only.

[@marvymaxee]

You said it. They’re stunning!

[@beaualexander7000]

Thank you, Marilyn! I appreciate the compliment 🤗

[@amyweaver7413]

I was born in 1960 and have seen those grapes my whole life and never liked them - your version is beautiful. I could also see painting the stick gold or silver for different decor styles too! Bravo!👏👏👏

[@beaualexander7000]

Thank you, Amy! Trying to add my own modern spin on this classic home decor accessory...I really appreciate this compliment 😊

Fantastic! My Mom had amber colored grapes on our coffee table thru the 70s. In '79 when she was pregnant with one of my brothers we went thru out the house and got rid of most of the decor so she could redecorate in blue & mauve. Jeez, the gorgeous stuff we took to the church's bazaar (all now valuable) kinda breaks my heart. Excellent job, Beau. Your grapes are beautiful. Great DIY.

[@beaualexander7000]

[@mamadance11]

back in the "60's" I made these... .blue & green... I do NOT know what happened to them... a divorce got rid of them some how... BUT anyways.. I just might make them again...I loved them & they were fun to do. They could be bought in a KIT. You got everything you needed to make them. I believe the wire was put into thy resin while still slightly wet. I do not recall drilling them or even drilling holes in the wood.... it was provided also in the DIY KIT back then. Thank you for showing me how to make these in todays age.

[@debrashulman362]

These grapes are AMAZINGGGGGG Beau!!! This is such a cool DIY!! Thanks for walking us step-by-step and adding in your tips!

[@karenblack2869]

Hi Beau! Excellent job!! These were expensive back in the day, as well. We also made our own. To insert the wires we cut a cardboard box down on the sides, then wrapped the wire on the sticks. We then cut slits down into the box ends to position the sticks across so the downward wires went the correct depth into the globes (which were held in place down in the box by egg cartons). Just a tip for those who want to make these but don't have a drill 😊 As always I love your personalized take on the classic mid-century staples!!

[@beaualexander7000]

Wow, thank you for the tips Karen! I definitely may have to try this technique when I make another grape cluster...I have family members who want them now 😆 I appreciate you watching
