A decorative structure having a plurality of flexible optical fibers each having a light-receiving end and a light-emitting end. A structural rod which may be flexible or rigid is positioned adjacent a portion of the optical fibers. A wrapping is provided for securing a portion of the optical fibers to the structural rod. The light-receiving ends of the fibers are positioned near the light path of a light source for illumination of the optical fibers. In addition, a plurality of structural rods may be surrounded by the optical fibers adjacent the light-receiving end of the fibers. A plurality of side branches can be formed from a main branch with each side branch formed of a plurality of optical fibers and one of the rods extending from the main branch of the structure.
