No tie bow trick! Cut 6 strands of ribbon, about 16 inches. Stack on top of one another and just loop around and secure with a faux branch. If you have a real tree, just use green floral wire to twist tie the center and secure to tree. Pull apart each loop and "puff up." This Home Depot tree works really well for this and it has various light snow options. LTKGiftGuide LTKstorytime LTKHoliday
