The kit includes two rolls of 10.5" deco mesh. My suggestion would be to make a ruffle wreath.
The ruffle wreath is one of the easiest wreath to make especially for a beginner wreath maker.
Since the two rolls of mesh are the same style, you could just make 30" ruffles and put one ruffle in each twist. If you choose to put two ruffles in each twist, just cut the ruffles 15" in length. I have included a link to a ruffle wreath tutorial in that tutorial the mesh was cut in 20" lengths - two ruffles used.
Either way, you would have 30" of mesh in each twist which will be full and thick.
The 12" round metal sign has a couple of holes in it to for securing to the wreath form. You can use chenille stems to secure the sign to the wreath form. Take care not to pull the sign too far down into the mesh. Otherwise, it will be obscured from the mesh.
You can add ribbon strips, bows or a combination of both. Sometimes I make three fairly large bows and position the around the wreath. Sometimes I may make one large bow and secure it bottom front.
Just experiment with the look that you want. If you choose to add three bows, you might want to make the bows and secure them. Any remaining ribbon could be used for ribbon strips in areas that the bows don't cover.
Always check the back of your wreath to make sure you don't have anything sharp that might scratch a door. Clip frays rather than pull. All mesh frays, so you will have to clip strings.
Make a hanger for your wreath with chenille stems, zip ties or floral wire.
Enjoy your wreath!
