Flower-like decorative ornament

A flower-like decorative ornament for use in gift-wrapping a package comprising:

• (A) an artificial flower comprising a base, a pattern of petals extending at least partially upwardly from said base, and a passage extending longitudinally through said base;
• and
• (B) an elasticized cord having its end portions knotted together to define a section of enlarged diameter incapable of passing through said passage, a pair of free ends to one side of said enlarged section and a loop to the other side thereof;
• said loop passing longitudinally through said passage with said enlarged section being at least partially disposed above said passage to slidably mount said flower on said loop, said cord being configured and dimensioned such that when said loop is stretched about a package so that said enlarged section is disposed immediately atop said passage, said free ends extend at least partially upwardly from said enlarged section and terminate closely adjacent the uppermost portions of said petals, whereby said free ends have the appearance of stamens.
