Abstract
A decorative material holder formed from a single piece structure having a series of equally spaced apart cavities formed by a series of upper and lower U-shaped bends in a sinuous shape. The cavities allow for the support of ornamental items, as well as facilitate and ease the making of ribbon bows. The material holder has a proximal end and a distal end extending a distance beyond the lower U-shaped bends. The ends are used in securing the decorative holder to items such as a Christmas tree or decorative wreath, for placement over two spaced apart elements such as two Christmas tree branches, or attached between an outer and inner circular ring to form a wreath template.
Claims5
A method of forming a decorative ribbon consisting:
- forming a decorative material holder from single piece flexible wire shaped structure having a proximal end and a distal end with a plurality of equally spaced apart cavities formed through a series of upper and lower U-shaped bends with a sinuous shape thereinbetween, said proximal end and said distal end extending a distance beneath said lower U-shaped bends;
- weaving a ribbon material through each said cavity and extending said ribbon material a distance outwardly from each said cavity;
- taking said ribbon material and passing it through and around a first cavity on said proximal end;
- weaving said ribbon material under and over said first cavity about said lower U-shaped bend to create a rear loop, which snuggly grasps said single piece structure;
- outwardly swooping said ribbon material about the upper U-shaped bend on successive cavity to create a first outwardly projecting bow;
- weaving said ribbon material under and over the following successive cavity about said lower U-shaped bend to create a secondary rear loop, which snuggly grasps said single piece structure;
- outwardly swooping said ribbon material about the upper U-shaped bend on successive cavity to create a second outwardly projecting bow;
- continuing the same until a desired number of outwardly projecting loops are formed;
- pulling said ribbon material through a last cavity on said distal end holding gap;
- and
- securing said proximal end and said distal end to a fixed object for supporting said decorative material holder thereinbetween.
