Abstract
The decorative bow is provided which includes a plurality of ribbon-like strands that are folded in alternating directions to give the strand a zigzagging shape. The zigzagging strands of the decorative bow are held together at a common point with the ends of the strands running loose to provide a "cascading" look. This structure of the decorative bow can be used to provide many variations in the overall look by, for example, using ribbon materials with different colors and reflective effects or adjusting the lengths of the strands in the bow to give a layered appearance. The decorative bow may be secured to a base member (commonly called a "bow chip"), which may have a section for receiving printed indicia for display and an adhesive backing that allows the decorative bow to be attached easily to a desired object.
