Abstract
A bow-forming ribbon assembly has a decorative flexible ribbon and a drawstring connected loosely to, and freely guided through pairs of apertures formed in, the ribbon lengthwise thereof. Between each pair of apertures, a bending zone is provided which extends at an angle of inclination, which angle is different and of opposite slope from that of the adjacent preceding inclination angle. During forming of the bow, the drawstring bends the ribbon across each bending zone, and forms bow loops distributed at various angles around the axis of the bow to form a pompon-like shape.
