Abstract
An optical fiber decorative article comprises a plurality of optical fibers of same length. The optical fibers are aligned in a fiber array and provided with a gluey connection band along the portion of the optical fiber near one light input ends thereof. The fibers are bent with bent angle gradually increasing such that one straight side is formed on one side of the fiber array and a most-bent side is formed on another side of the fiber array. The fiber array is wound from the straight side to the most-bent side, thus forming a bouquet-shape optical fiber decorative article. The optical fiber decorative article is mounted on a movable carrier to generate light ring thereon.
