*The tree lights up and twinkles* The best way to decorate a Christmas tree with ribbon is to start by attaching the top of the ribbon to the top of the tree using a wire or other type of fastener. Then, wrap the ribbon around the tree, making sure to overlap each strip as you go. You can also use the ribbon to create patterns or designs, such as bows or loops. Once you've finished, tie off the ends of the ribbon at the bottom of the tree.
