Abstract
A reusable decorative ornament for use on wrapping paper or the like includes an ornamental element such as a ribbon flower or bow. The ornament includes an attachment element for securing the ornament to wrapping paper. The attachment element includes a stack of adhesive elements. By selectively exposing an adhesive layer, the decorative ornament can be used multiple times. The adhesive elements may be secured to the ornament element by a fixed device such as a staple. Each adhesive layer may include a fixed portion in the area of the staple. Perforations may divide the fixed portion from a removable portion of the layer to facilitate easy removal and reuse of the decorative ornament.
