Ribbon Tree How to

This is a very easy project. It is a bit time consuming but when you are done you will have a gorgeous tree.

You will need:

Styrofoam tree whatever size you like (I got mine at Michaels)
Scissors
Pins & about 6 decorative pins for the top row
coordinating ribbon

The first thing you need to do is to cut your ribbon into strips about 2 – 2 1/2 inches in length. I cut as I went so I didn’t have left overs.

Next what you want to do is to fold the ribbon in half and use the pin to place it on your tree like this:

Then you continue all the way along the bottom:

For the next row you place your ribbon up a bit making sure to cover the pins. You can vary the placement depending on how “full” you want your tree.

Continue all the way up your tree. On the final row you want to use decroative pins because these will show. I left the top of my tree like that but you could use a star to top it or buttons.
