Decorated with streamers

Ribboned describes something decorated with, marked by, or shaped like ribbons: a ribboned gift box, ribboned medals on his chest.

It can also describe things naturally forming ribbon-like patterns: ribboned clouds stretched across the sunset, the ribboned surface of wind-blown sand.
