I pounded the cut limbs into the ground, spacing them about 1 foot apart feet apart. So far, we are okay. I did that part right.<\/p>\n<p>Once the limbs were in position, I placed the vines from the muscadines in sections of 3. Got that part right, too.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning at the first post and holding the section tightly in my hand, I began to weave the vine in and out through one crepe myrtle post to the other. Once one row was finished, I started again, repeating the process, alternating the vines around the crepe myrtle post. (each row is woven on the opposite side of the post than the one below and above it). This is where my fence began to fall apart. I will determine the problem and get back to you on that!<\/p>\n<p>As you weave a section through each post, be sure to press down to create a tight fit. I didn&#8217;t do that as you can see.<\/p>\n<p>This is a work in progress and a total disaster for my first attempt. As I added each new section, it started to take some type of shape. Not sure what shape it is, but it certainly is not what I want it to be. I will learn. I will do it right. And when I do, I will upload pictures so you can see the process as it is being constructed. The finished product will be correct, whatever the definition of &#8220;correct&#8221; is at that point. I can promise you this &#8211; it will be unique!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Now, if you want to see what it should look like, then follow this link to learn about using willow limbs to make a fence.

I love to write, sew, quilt, craft, cook, paint, and always looking for new ideas to make or share. I love to use my camera to capture life and tell a story through pictures. I have a web and graphic design business that keeps me busy, but I love my work and enjoy interacting with my clients as together we see their vision become a reality. More than anything, my greatest passion is serving God in a way that others see Him through me. I don't always do everything just right, but each day I get up, I turn that day over to God, asking Him to help me try to get it right one more time.","url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/author\/sandi\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/wattle-fence.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7393,"url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/espalier-fruit-trees-small-spaces\/","url_meta":{"origin":2330,"position":0},"title":"Espalier: Fruit Trees for Small Spaces","author":"Sandi Herron.
