An illuminated modular decorative article includes a base control panel and a side panel. The base control panel includes a base, a first electrical/mechanical connection interface, and a power source. The side panel includes a base, a second electrical/mechanical connection interface, and illumination sources. The first electrical/mechanical connection interface connects to the second electrical/mechanical connection interface to electrically connect the base control panel to the side panel and to mechanically connect the base control panel substantially orthogonally to the side panel.

A finial comprises a body having a first end and a second end. A collar is attached to the first end using a first releasable connector. A crown is attached to the second end using a second releasable connector where the second releasable connector is independent from the first releasable connector. The body, crown and collar define an interior space where the interior space is open and unobstructed between the crown and the collar.

There is provided a sheet-like article with a string enabling use in two use forms (a first use form and a second use form). A sheet-like article 1 with a string has a first use form and a second use form. The sheet-like article 1 with a string includes a sheet-like main body 2, and a string body 4 inserted into holes 3 of the main body 2. In the sheet-like article 1 with a string, change from the first use form to the second use form is possible by pulling of the string body 4.

Provided herein as a method of manufacturing a decorative flower, including forming a stem by cutting a leather sheet into two rectangular stem leather pieces and adhering the rear surfaces of the stem leather pieces to each other using an adhesive, folding a petal leather piece by cutting a leather sheet into the rectangular petal leather piece, applying the adhesive to first adhesive surfaces of the petal leather piece and folding the petal leather piece in half in the horizontal direction, making cuts in the petal leather piece in the vertical direction at designated intervals, applying the adhesive to a second adhesive surface of the petal leather piece and rolling the petal leather piece into a cylindrical shape about the stem, forming petals by spreading parts formed by the cuts, and decorating the lower portion of the stem leather piece with a running stitch after formation of the petals.

The technology described herein relates to a design template overlaid on a surrounding series of grid cut lines on the back side of a roll of wrapping paper. Based on juxtaposition within the grid cut lines, the DIY design template cut lines may correspond directly or indirectly to at least a portion of the front side of the wrapping paper decoration. Accordingly, embodiments of the design template may include cut lines for various bow and/or accessory content that, once extracted from the surrounding wrapping paper, may be assembled into a coordinated bow or accessory featuring intentional placement of design content form the front side of the wrapping paper. Additionally, the design template pattern may be repeated along an axis of orientation of the roll of wrapping paper, such that multiple DIY design templates may be repeated across the entire roll wrap bundle.

The present invention relates to a macroscopic, two or three-dimensional image-making support medium which is a new reinvented version of a conventional utilitarian fine artist's canvas, armature or image support, the novel image support medium facilitates artistic expression and the creation and display of macroscopic art, design or architecture, made therewith, thereupon or therefrom. The invention also relates to various methods of making such novel image-making support mediums and the works of art, design and architecture made with, on and from them. Examples are new works of art, design and architecture made with very thin, light-emitting devices; works of art, design and architecture capable of interactivity, responsiveness and/or change, and works of art, design and architecture with new and extraordinary aesthetic and/or functional properties from the use of nanomaterials.

The invention relates to compositions for forming an aesthetic work of art, design or architecture made as, from, with and/or on an image support medium. Compositions of the image support mediums generally include one or more light-emitting devices, one or more non-light-emissive devices capable of change, a form that is partially or entirely transparent or translucent, or a combination of these. Examples are made using organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), thin light-emitting devices, electronic paper technology and polymer compositions with an aspect of their permanence enhanced. Among other variations of the invention are works prepared with a composition or a means of display or installation that optimizes or enhances them aesthetically. The invention also relates to a method for preparing the composition and the image support medium.
