The present invention provides an illuminated decorative item, a decorative item made of ribbon and an illumination circuitry for a decorative item made of ribbon. The illuminated decorative item comprises a decorative body created with at least one elongated strip of material, the body having a base; a light source disposed at the base; an energy source electrically connected to the light source to supply energy to the light source; and at least one optic fiber, each optic fiber comprising an elongated body having a base end and a free end, the base end being close to and oriented towards the light source, the free end being arranged to visually complement the decorative body; wherein the energy source supplies energy to the light source, at least some light emitted by the light source enters the optic fiber at the base end, propagates inside the optic fiber, and exits from the free end thus generating an illumination at the free end and creating a illumination effect for the decorative item.
