The material hardens via a curing process to retain the splint configuration. The splint material includes a plurality of decorative elements integrated with the splint material. The decorative elements are provided on a substrate which is overlaid onto the moisture-curable material, and the substrate is overlaid with a flexible sheet having a plurality of openings which align with the decorative elements. The decorative elements are retained by the sheet of splint material when the sheet is wetted, molded into a splint configuration, and hardened. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of manufacturing a decorative splint material, the method comprising: providing one or more layers of fiberglass fabric impregnated with a moisture-curable polyurethane resin; adding a substrate to the layers of fiberglass fabric, the substrate holding a plurality of discrete three-dimensional decorative elements; overlaying the substrate with a flexible material having a plurality of openings, wherein the openings align with the three-dimensional decorative elements such that at least a portion of the decorative elements are exposed through the openings. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the decorative elements comprise beads. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the beads are plastic, translucent beads. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the flexible material comprises a fiberglass material. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the flexible material does not include a fiberglass material. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the decorative elements comprises at least one of rhinestones, crystals, gemstones, or jewels. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the decorative elements are adhered to the substrate. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the substrate comprises a wire mesh. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the substrate comprises a mesh of plastic filaments. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the substrate comprises a mesh. ### Claim 11 A decorative splint material comprising: a splint material which, when wetted and applied to an anatomical body part in a splint configuration, cures to retain the splint configuration; a plurality of separate decorative elements integrated with the splint material, the decorative elements to be retained by the splint material when the splint material is wetted, molded into the splint configuration, and allowed to harden in the splint configuration; wherein the splint material comprises: one or more layers of fiberglass fabric impregnated with a water-curable polyurethane resin; and a substrate holding the plurality of decorative elements, the substrate being secured to the one or more layers of fiberglass fabric. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The decorative splint material of claim 11, wherein the splint material further comprises: a flexible material overlaying the substrate having a plurality of openings, wherein the openings align with the decorative elements such that at least a portion of the decorative elements are at least partially exposed through the openings. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The decorative splint material of claim 11, wherein the decorative elements protrude beyond an outer surface of the splint material. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The decorative splint material of claim 11, wherein the decorative elements comprise beads. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The decorative splint material of claim 14, wherein the beads are plastic, translucent beads. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The decorative splint material of claim 11, wherein the substrate comprises a mesh. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The decorative splint material of claim 11, wherein the decorative elements comprise at least one of rhinestones, crystals, gemstones, or jewels. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The decorative splint material of claim 12, wherein the decorative elements are adhered to the substrate. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The decorative splint material of claim 11, wherein the substrate comprises a wire mesh. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The decorative splint material of claim 11, wherein the substrate comprises a mesh of plastic filaments.
