Add A Decorative Twist with Twig!



It's the perfect time of year for decorating with Grapevine Twig! It's natural, bringing the outdoors in and adds a touch of freshness to our living spaces that have been closed up all winter long.

Our Price: $4.99 a roll
Compare to: $12.99 a roll at the big chain stores

Here at Outer Banks Country Store, we offer a wide variety of grapevine twig decorations to help you get started on this fresh way of decorating.  There are only a few companies that make these products and supply all the major chains, such as the big box craft stores. We have done the research and we offer the best price on twig that you'll find anywhere! The big chains will charge you 4 and 5 times what we charge for the same products. And most of the time, if you do your own comparison, you'll find that our quality far exceeds our larger competition! Why pay more for the same product and in many cases, an inferior product? Shop with us and save! And best of all, this cozy country look that we will help you create with grapevine, looks great all year round! Let's get started!

The best place to start is with a roll of our Grapevine Garland (shown above). This roll is 15 feet long, bendy and very versatile. It is wonderful for wrapping with our brown wire lights for a super cozy look. Then wind along a fireplace mantle, down the length of a console table, around curtain rods, around mirrors, doorways & windows,  lay above the kitchen cabinets or even wind around the top of a four-poster bed or drape along the top of your headboard! 


 How cozy at night,
to lay in bed
with the twinkle of
lit grapevine
above your head!

Next are our Grapevine Balls, 
available in 2-inch, 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch and 12-inch sizes.
Our Price: $4.99 a roll
Compare to: $12.99 a roll at the big chain stores

You have probably seen these when you turn on your TV! Whether it's your favorite sitcom or news program, you will often find these in the background of the set, used as a popular home decor accent. Place a few of them in varied sizes in your favorite bowl or tray for a natural centerpiece. We love this item because it is so versatile. They make great ornaments - just loop a strip of your favorite material through one of the gaps in the grapevine, tie a knot at the top and voila! You have a homemade, natural ornament to hang anywhere! They look great on a primitive Christmas tree, but we like them year round on suction cup hooks hanging on windows or a mirror, hang them by the ribbon loops on your bedposts, or our favorite - hang a few from the bottom of your chandelier! 

The best idea yet, is to take the larger size and gently work a small strand of our Brown Wire Rice Lights through one of the holes in the ball. (We suggest a 20-count or a 35-count strand) The wire will bunch up inside. Keep the plug and some extra wire hanging outside of the ball. Put your loop of primitive material or ribbon through the top. Hang in a spot that has an outlet nearby. At night, plug in the light strand and you will have a cozy country decoration that will make your house a country home! We like them in the kitchen at night - the center of the home.

Crafters love our selection of 
Round Wreaths!
They are a blank canvas awaiting your inspiration!


Available in 3 inch, 8 inch and 10 inch sizes, these great craft wreaths are your starting base for your seasonal works of art! The three inch rings make adorable ornaments. Add your favorite material or ribbon for hanging, these are perfect for large group projects, such as church and school functions. And don't forget, here at Outer Banks Country Store, we offer Quantity Discounts and Wholesale Pricing, so the more you buy, the more you save! There's no need to sign up for anything. Just enter the quantity you would like into your shopping cart, and the discounts will be automatically taken off! Our 3-inch wreaths are 49¢ each, but drop to just 33¢ a piece if you purchase 7 or more! We've got everything you need to decorate the larger wreaths, such as battery operated lights or plug in Christmas lights or Rice lights, primitive ribbon, country fabric, and berry sprigs!


From the classic favorites, to the seasonal, we have a wide assortment of grapevine twig
to suit every season, craft show, class project or home decoration!

Popular Trends in Decorative Lighting

Lights are not just for the holidays anymore! Decorative lights are the hottest new trend for year round decorating. Our large variety of specialty light strands add ambiance to any environment, occasion or project. Add that special glow to weddings, parties and baby showers or enhance your floral or craft designs. Showcase your collectibles or add cozy warmth to your home's atmosphere, indoors or out.

We offer brown, white or green wire for easy concealing. Choose from Electric or Battery Operated, long or short lengths and a variety of colors to suit most any need. Even better, is that now  decorative light strands are made so that if one bulb burns out, the rest remain lit. So you can use your lights again and again.

We recommend our Teeny Bulb Rice Lights for smaller projects, such as wreaths, berry garland, dollhouses, crafts and miniature  trees. 
Use our Battery Operated Rice Lights in weddings for your floral arrangements and table centerpieces. Decorate the cake table or a bird cage. 
Our Brown Wire Lights can be used inside or outside and are great for parties, holidays and events. Use them on your outdoor trees, bushes and fences. They can be wrapped around porch and deck railings, lattice, patio umbrellas, gazebos and pergolas. White bulbs look great year round or use color bulbs to match the season or holiday.



Look for the following new and unique decorative lighting products, now available on our website: www.outerbankscountrystore.com

Brand new this year, is our St. Patrick's Day Strand of Green Wire Christmas Lights with 50 solid green Bulbs. These are great for indoor or outdoor use and the lit length on this strand is 14 feet. If you own a bar, are having a party or just love Saint Patrick's Day, these lights will add the green glow you're looking for.

Perfect for the upcoming Patriotic holidays, are our White Wire strands with Red, White & Blue bulbs. These have a whopping 150 bulbs on each strand and even more unique, is the fact that the bulbs are "clustered" together in groups of 3 (clusters of three Red, three White, 3 Blue) for a brighter, more festive look. These can also be used inside or outside, so they're perfect for summer barbecues with your friends and neighbors.

To top off the list of what's new and exciting this year, we now offer the perfect country light set! Our 150-count, brown wire Christmas lights with clusters of Red, Orange & Yellow bulbs offers a cozy glow year round.

These great Rice Lights flicker and "dance" on several different settings from slow to fast, with an easy twist of the dial. Nice and long, they work well for wrapping around berry garland and setting on top of kitchen cabinets or along a mantle.



Using colored lights to create an atmosphere in the home has become a popular decorating trend. You can tailor them to any season, holiday, event or style. Lighting can ease stress, set a certain mood, such as romance or celebration or it can make an announcement, such as the birth of a child. Use our line of specialty lights to make your statement today!
