  • Patent number: 4133922
    Abstract: A component to facilitate the hand fabrication of decorative wreaths comprising a flat annular member, preferably molded or vacuum formed of plastic. A plurality of integrally formed bridges extend radially from the surface of the annular member at substantially uniform distances apart. The bridges are spaced from the planar surface of the annular member to permit stems of fir twigs or picks to be inserted underneath. In use, a plurality of picks are attached to the component by sliding the stem of a twig under the cross member of a bridge with the other end of the twig overlying the next adjacent bridge. Twigs are arranged around the entire circumference of the annual member in shingle-like fashion to form a conventionally appearing decorative tree wreath.
