Abstract: Apparatus for winding bows from ribbon comprising a base and arms about which the ribbon may be wound in a plurality of loops. One arm is rotatably supported on the base so that it is capable of rotation towards the other arm. A spring resists rotation of that arm towards the fixed arm. The rotatable arm and spring permit one arm to rotate towards the other when loops of ribbon are drawn together midway between the arms in forming a bow. A holding arm is provided overhead the loops of ribbon for holding a loop in an upright orientation.

Abstract: A water funnel and card holder arrangement for insertion into a block of foam plastic to supply water to cut flowers having their cut ends inserted into the block. The arrangement is a unitary structure having a funnel including a card carrying surface with retainer clips for receiving a card and the funnel feeds water to an elongated tubular member having its upper end joined to the funnel and its lower end including a plurality of spaced apertures to discharge water. A pointed tip member closes the lower end of the tubular member and has a maximum diameter which exceeds the diameter of the tubular member, thereby providing an annular space in the block of foam plastic into which water flows from the tubular member. An optional card support may be provided that consists of a pair of slits in the top edge of the funnel.
