Claims36
A curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof, the curled decorative grass produced by cutting a curled web of material into curled segments having a predetermined width, the curled web of material comprising:
- a polymeric film having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a thickness in the range of from about 0.5 mil to about 10 mil wherein at least a portion of one of the upper and lower surfaces of the polymeric film is modified to provide an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper.
A curled decorative grass having an appearance simulating the appearance of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof, the curled decorative grass produced by cutting a curled laminated material into curled segments having a predetermined width, the curled laminated material comprising:
- a polymeric film having an upper surface, a lower surface and a thickness in the range of from about 0.5 mil to about 10 mil;
- and
- a material laminated to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the polymeric film, at least a portion of one surface of one of the polymeric film and the material laminated thereto being modified to provide at least a portion of one surface of the laminated material and the decorative grass produced therefrom with an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper.
A curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof, the curled decorative grass produced by cutting a curled web of material into curled segments having a predetermined width, the curled web of material comprising:
- a polymeric film having an upper surface and a lower surface wherein at least a portion of one of the upper and lower surfaces of the polymeric film is provided with an embossed pattern which provides an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper.
A method for making curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a material having a texture or appearance simulating the texture or appearance of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof;
- curling the material having a texture or appearance simulating the texture or appearance of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof to provide a curled material;
- cutting the curled material having a texture or appearance simulating the texture or appearance of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof to form curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof.
A method for forming curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a web of polymeric film having an upper surface, a lower surface and a thickness of from about 0.5 mil to about 10 mil wherein at least a portion of one of the upper and lower surfaces of the polymeric film is modified to provide a texture or appearance simulating the texture or appearance of paper;
- curling the web of polymeric film to provide a curled web of polymeric film;
- and
- cutting at least a portion of the curled web of polymeric film to form curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof.
A method for forming curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a laminated material comprising:
- a polymeric film having an upper surface, a lower surface and a thickness in the range of from about 0.6 mil to about 10 mil;
- and
- a material laminated to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the polymeric film, at least a portion of one surface of one of the polymeric film and the material laminated thereto being modified so as to provide at least a portion of one surface of the laminated material with an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper;
- curling the laminated material to provide a curled laminated material;
- and
- cutting the curled laminated material to produce curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof.
