Choosing the Right Ribbon for Your Tree
What type of ribbon should you be using? For those who want the ribbon to be the main décor on this tree, then using a wide ribbon is going to be best. You will find that a two-inch or even three-inch wired ribbon is going to give the best results. Next, do you simply string this on the tree? No! The idea with this is to cut the ribbon into about 3-foot pieces. You are going to bend these pieces to go in and out, as though it is a wave throughout the tree. It helps to make the ribbon go further, but also helps in creating a cohesive look in the tree.
Take these 3 foot piece and tuck this into the tree branch using the light strand as an anchor and flip this up. You will then do this throughout the tree, many people find that starting in the middle of the tree creates the best look. Once all pieces have been placed, then be sure to shape the ribbon to make it look as though it is going in and out throughout the tree. When paired with lights, this is a luxurious way to make your tree stand out.
