Ribbon assembly forming curved segment for making a bow or ruffle

A ribbon assembly comprising:

• a strip of material having a first end, a second end, an upper surface, a lower surface and a strip width extending between a first strip side and a second strip side, the strip of material being divided into a plurality of strip segments with one of the strip segments defining the first end of the strip of material and a second strip segment defining the second end of the strip of material and at least one strip segment disposed therebetween, each strip segment having a first segment end and a second segment end with the second segment end of each strip segment being disposed substantially adjacent the first segment end of the adjacent strip segment;
• a resilient member having a first end, a second end, a stretched condition and an unstretched condition, the first end of the resilient member connected to the strip segment defining the first end of the strip of material in close proximity to the second segment end thereof and the second end of the resilient member connected to the strip segment defining the second end of the strip of material, the strip of material being extendable in about a straight line in the stretched condition of the resilient member and the resilient member pulling the first segment end toward the second segment end of each strip segment to form each strip segment into a curved segment while maintaining the strip segment defining the first end of the strip material in an extended position, wherein the strip segments of the strip of material defining curved segments extend along curved paths and define a bow or ruffle when the resilient member is in the unstretched condition.
