System and method for creating ribbon flowers

Abstract

A ribbon is provided having a pull string portion extending along a first edge of the ribbon, along the length of the ribbon, the pull string portion having a series of holes therein extending longitudinally along the first edge. A petal portion extends along a second edge of the ribbon having a predefined shape. A string is positioned within the holes in the pull string portion, the string being disposed within the holes in alternating fashion between a first surface of the ribbon and an opposing surface of the ribbon. The ribbon, including the pull sting portion and the petal portion is configured to be folded in half such that opposing ends of the ribbon may be slid along the string into a bunch, forming a flower.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A ribbon comprising:
 a pull string portion extending along a first edge of said ribbon, along the length of said ribbon, said pull string portion having a series of holes therein extending longitudinally along said first edge;   a petal portion, said petal portion extending along a second edge of said ribbon, having a predefined shape; and   a string positioned within said holes in said pull string portion, said string being disposed within said holes in an alternating fashion between a first surface of said ribbon and an opposing surface of said ribbon,   wherein said ribbon, including said pull string portion and said petal portion is configured to be folded in half such that opposing ends of said ribbon may be slid along said string into a bunch forming a flower.   
     
     
         2 . The ribbon as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pull string portion and said petal portion of said ribbon are constructed of a satin weave made from polyester and rayon fabric. 
     
     
         3 . The ribbon as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said string positioned within said holes in an alternating fashion between said first surface of said ribbon and said opposing surface of said ribbon is such that when said string is pulled said pull sting portion folds in a back and forth manner to form a center of said flower with said petal portion extending outward there from. 
     
     
         4 . The ribbon as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said predefined shape of said petal portion has a first shape to form a first type of said flower. 
     
     
         5 . The ribbon as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said petal portion has a width of substantially 28 mm-50 mm.
