Cut the ribbon into manageable lengths
Tuck the ribbon deep into the tree near the trunk
Bring the ribbon out toward the tips of the branches
Drape the ribbon in loose vertical or diagonal sections
Create loops, bows, or cascading folds for texture
Repeat the pattern evenly around the tree
Vary the placement to avoid a stiff look
Layer ribbon with ornaments and lights
Secure ribbon with floral wire or branch tips if needed
