Ornamental bow

Abstract

An ornamental bow is provided with a bow portion and a mounting portion. The mounting portion is coupled to the bow portion. The mounting portion is transparent. The transparent mounting portion is coated with a transparent adhesive. The transparent mounting portion is coupled to a transparent release liner. To mount the bow, the release liner is removed from the mounting portion and the adhesive surface of the mounting portion is pressed to a desired mounting location. Once mounted, the transparent nature of the mounting portion prevents the mounting portion from impeding the view of the mounting location (e.g., decorative wrapping paper on the surface of a gift-wrapped package).
