Start with a wired ribbon for easier shaping
Cut the ribbon into manageable lengths
Begin at the top of the tree
Tuck one end of the ribbon deep into the branches
Let the ribbon drape down in loose waves
Secure the ribbon by tucking it into the tree every few feet
Alternate the depth of the tucks for a natural look
Work around the tree in a spiral pattern
Keep the ribbon slightly loose, not pulled tight
Use multiple ribbons if you want layered texture
Mix ribbon widths or patterns for variety
Adjust the loops and drapes until the tree looks balanced
Trim any excess ribbon and hide the ends in the branches
