A method for making a segmented substantially planar decorative grass having a printed multi-colored three-dimensional pattern provided on a portion of one surface thereof, comprising the steps of:
- providing a material having an upper surface and a lower surface;
- applying a foamable ink of a first color to a portion of the upper surface of the material to provide a first three-dimensional pattern on the material;
- applying a foamable ink of a second color to a portion of the upper surface of the material to provide a second three-dimensional pattern on the material;
- slitting the material having the first and the second three-dimensional patterns applied thereto to provide elongated strips of material having a width and a length;
- and
- cutting the elongated strips of material perpendicular to the width of the elongated strips to provide a segmented substantially planar decorative grass having a printed multi-colored three-dimensional pattern provided on a portion of one surface thereof.
