The Steps for How to Make the Easy Christmas Crafts: Crocheted Doily Wrapped Ornament:
Wrap the doily around the glass ornament to determine where to insert the ribbon for the gathers.
In the white example, the doily was hand crocheted and 8 1/2 inches in diameter, however the threads were stiff and not very giving. The ribbon had to be inserted very near the edge of the white doily.
The softer store-bought doilies were 8 inches in diameter and very stretchy. The ribbon was inserted further from the edge to pull the doily tight around the ball.

Begin weaving the ribbon in a consistent circle around the doily using the holes in the doily.
If your ribbon has different sides, for example one shiny and one dull, put the preferred side of the ribbon facing outward.
