Decorative wire ribbon bow

Abstract

The present invention 10 discloses a method of forming a decorative artificial bow using wire border ribbon 22 in strip form either in rolls or otherwise whereby the user may cut the ribbon in lengths according to the bow size required. The length of wire border ribbon 22 is laid out so as to form four loop members 16 on each respective side having opposing distal ends and joined together at the center. The loop members 16 are secured by means of a metal wire retainer 24 securing the center of the folded ribbon, forming the bow. Using a scissor, both distal ends of the ribbon are cut to form a “V” shaped end 26 and the second set of loop members from the bottom portion of the ribbon are also cut to form “V” shaped ends 28. The loop members are rearranged to create a pleasing flower-like design. Using a glue gun 32, a self-adhering tag 36 is fixedly attached to the bottom portion of the bow. The self-adhering portion of the tag has a peel-off protective sheet of paper 40 that is removed when the bow is to be used. With the use of a glue gun, a decorative item 38 or items are glued in place on the top portion of the formed ribbon bow.
