Kits including gripping bands for attaching pieces of fabric and batting in order to produce decorative articles

A kit for use to produce a decorative article from pieces of fabric or any other similar material comprising a plurality of gripping bands for use to attach at least one edge of at least one of said pieces of fabric or any other similar material, each of said gripping band comprising:

• a pair of elongated members consisting of walls, bars or rods flexible along their lengths, said elongated members having surfaces, hereinafter called "inner surface", that face each other, said elongated members also having adjacent edges flexibly connected to each other and free edges opposite said adjacent edges, said free edges facing each other;
• and
• gripping means projecting from said inner surfaces to grip and retain said at least one edge when it is inserted between said elongated members from said free edges,
• wherein each of said gripping bands further comprises:
• strips made of non-resilient soft metal, said strips being mounted onto said elongated members adjacent said free edges to rigidify the gripping band and hold it in any selected angular position.

A kit for use to produce a decorative article from pieces of fabric or any other similar material comprising a plurality of gripping bands for use to attach at least on edge of at least one of said pieces of fabric or any other similar material, each of said gripping band comprising:

• a pair of elongated members consisting of walls, bars or rods flexible along their lengths, said elongated members having surfaces, hereinafter called "inner surface", that face each other, said elongated members also having adjacent edges flexibly connected to each other and free edges opposite said adjacent edges, said free edges facing each other;
• and
• gripping means projecting from said inner surfaces to grip and retain said at least one edge when it is inserted between said elongated members from said free edges,
• wherein each of said gripping bands further comprises:
• wires made of non-resilient soft metal, said wires being mounted into said elongated members adjacent said free edges to rigidify the gripping band and hold it any selected angular position.
