This invention provides a method for manufacturing a decorated part having a dynamic visual effect of a design that is drawn onto the surface of a work, thus reducing the manufacturing cost. The decorated part is manufactured by a laser-irradiating process, which involves irradiating a laser onto a decorative surface 4, thus forming a design 20 having many laser-processed linear grooves 21 closely aligned in a specific direction F1 on said decorative surface. Also, in the laser-irradiating process, said design 20 is formed such that the angle θ2 that is made by the specific direction F1 and by the direction F2 in which the laser-processed linear grooves 21 are extending is gradually changing into the direction in which such laser-processed linear grooves are aligned.
