Wide ribbon is often used to create a layered look on a Christmas tree. To put wide ribbon on your tree, start by cutting a length of ribbon that is long enough to go around the tree at least once. Then, take the ribbon and drape it over the top of the tree, pulling it down to the bottom and back up again. Continue this process, draping the ribbon in different directions to create a layered effect. Finally, secure the ends of the ribbon with pins or clips to keep it in place.
