Spray decoration

Abstract

A spray-like decorative ornament for use in gift-wrapping a package comprises a rigidifying core having top and bottom edges and a strip of metal foil wound about the core, a section of the strip being of greater height than the core and the top portion of the strip being vertically slit to define a plurality of fingers. Preferably the strip tapers substantially smoothly from one end thereof to the other, with a portion of the strip radially closer to the core having taller fingers than the portion of the strip radially further from the core, thereby to produce a spray-like appearance. In one preferred embodiment the core is hollow and the ornament additionally includes an elasticized cord having a section of enlarged diameters incapable of passing through the core, the core being slidably mounted on a loop of the cord passing longitudinally therethrough with the enlarged section at least partially disposed above the core top portion. In another preferred embodiment the strip bottom edge is continuous and in substantially a single horizontal plane, the elasticized cord passing transversely through the core and extending out beyond the ornament.
