Tree topper

Im not your typical tree topper.  First its always hard to find one I like and I always like a little glitter to my tree.  Here is what I do instead.  I take wired edge ribbon and start making a large bow on top of tree with several pieces hanging down that will be incorporated in the branches of the tree. 
This is what your ribbon will look like when its just hanging.

 The next step is to crinkle it.  Basically your just folding each piece of ribbon that is hanging down accordion style,start from bottom and work your way up.
 This is what it will look like after you let go of the scrunched up ribbon.  You will then want to grab the end of the ribbon and slightly stretch it to the bottom of your tree.
 Afterwards this is what you get.  But its still not enough for me.
 I then stick Christmas glitter doohickeys in the top for a topper to get it more umph and to make my tree pop just a bit.  These were bought at Walmart cheap.
