The Steps for How to Make the Easy Christmas Crafts: Wired Ribbon Icicle Ornament:

Measure and cut the ribbon to 10 inches in length.

Use longer ribbon if you want longer icicle ornaments.

The narrow ribbons kept their shape better than the wider ribbons.

Larger ribbons could also be used provided their wire edges are strong enough to maintain the spiral when hung on the Christmas tree.
