Abstract
A multiple-layer pad including an upper, middle and bottom layer for mounting any of a variety of ornamental articles is provided. The middle layer includes a plurality of mounting holes disposed therethrough which provide a user with a number of predetermined points through which to mount the ornamental article. The holes provide flexibility to the user by allowing the user to mount different types of ornamental articles on different locations on the pad, and to use a variety of mounting techniques. The upper layer of the pad provides an attractive display surface and is preferably wrapped around the edges of the middle layer and secured to the back of the middle layer in order to hold the two layers together. The bottom layer provides a finished backing for the pad and preferably includes a plurality of holes which are aligned with the holes in the middle layer so that the user can easily identify the position of the middle layer mounting holes during use.
