Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for producing an ornament for gift wrapping purposes and the like. The ornament has a basic member with a plurality of radially disposed conical elements, and these basic members may be combined to produce spheroidal or hemispheroidal ornaments having a plurality of radial cones or spikes. In the method, a flat circular blank is formed with a plurality of radially disposed leaves. The leaves are wrapped around a conical form and adhesively secured to form one of the basic members. The apparatus includes a winder for wrapping the leaves around the conical form and positioning means for holding the blank and locating each leaf on the form to be wrapped into a conical element by the winder.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for producing gift wrap ornaments of the type having a plurality of radiating conical points. The ornament is produced by cutting from a continuous strip of flexible material, a continuous strip of longitudinally spaced-apart blanks, each blank having transversely opposed petals and a central portion therebetween. The petals are formed into cones to produce a string of elements having opposed cones. These elements are separated, a plurality of them are stacked in a circular arrangement and the central portions of the elements are compressed and stapled together to form the ornament.
