the tree with a straight pin stuck in on the diagonal. Pin another
white loop on the other side.
For the second row, pin on a white loop, a pink cookie, a white loop,
another pink cookie and another white loop.
For the third row, pin on a green tailored bow the size of the space

Continue placing cookies and ribbons in this manner until the tree is
completely covered.
