Take the loop off the first stake and put the end loop on that stake. Now the second stake goes where the 48" loop and the shorter section are tight, kind of like a triangle. Continue around the tree, moving the end loop to the previous stake put in. All my stakes are (roughly) 9" apart and in a 48" diameter circle, or half circle in my case.
Not the quickest idea, or a ring like you asked. I also wanted the spool ring mentioned above, but they aren't sitting on the side of the road around me anywhere. This works for me, the bungee keeps the strings pretty tight, but lets them move in the wind.
