The next steps are quite hard to explain, but visually it's fairly easy, I'll give it a crack any way.

As before, the cardboard is layed out with the three marks on top, left side the "circle" side, and the right side as the "triangle" column. I will talk like this because that's how I have marked each column, and if you do the same you won't get confused if you swap which side.

Glue the top middle mark on column 'circle' half way down in a single, straight line and press down your 16cm long ribbon and leave the long end aiming upwards. Fold it under and with the last bit of tail over the second from the top in the same column, make sure it is straight (not twisted) along the cardboard, pull it down firm and glue it.
That's the first one!

Glue the next ribbon (pink in picture 2) in column 'circle' in the same simple method, and then the brown ribbon with the same two cardboard squares. As you may have noticed, in column 'circle', the 6 panels are glued together in 3 sets, and you have just completed the first one. Set it to one side and do the next lot in that column, then finally the bottom one in the same manner.

Column 'triangle' is slightly different, the top and bottom panel are not glued to anything, but the middle four are. Follow the color co-ordinated pictures again to see where to glue.
