Start at the top of the tree
Secure the ribbon near the top with a floral pin or wire
Let the ribbon cascade downward in loose vertical sections
Tuck the ribbon slightly into the branches for depth
Space the ribbon evenly around the tree
Use long loops or gentle waves for a fuller look
Alternate ribbon placement between front and back branches
Cut the ribbon into manageable lengths if needed
Overlap sections slightly for a continuous effect
Adjust the ribbon as you move down the tree
Secure the bottom ends deep in the branches
Fluff the branches around the ribbon to hide attachments
Step back and check for balance from all angles
