Add ribbon before ornaments
Begin your tree decorating by adding lights and then the ribbon. Ornaments should always go on last. If you attempt to add ribbon after hanging ornaments, you run the risk of breaking ornaments as you style your tree. Now it's time to grab your scissors and start ribboning.
