Abstract
An adornment ribbon bow is held or arrested at a bunch point of the looped or bowed ribbon by a three element, resilient tie that is both decorative and functional. The resilient tie is made from a length of non-resilient ribbon in which is tied a collapse resistant, pyramid shaped knot. The collapse resistance in the knot is translated into a resilience in the tie. The pyramid shape and internal structure of the knot generates a resistance to a collapsing force applied to the knot while the pyramid shape of the knot becomes a decorative part of the adornment ribbon bow.
