Abstract
A decorative shredded material formed from a substantially iridescent, creped sheet of flexible material which is shredded into a plurality of creped decorative strips or creped decorative elements, each of the plurality of creped decorative strips or creped decorative elements having a plurality of ridges and valleys which provide visual light and dark reflective effects, the light and dark reflective effects changing with a change in light directed upon and reflected from the plurality of ridges and valleys on each of the plurality of decorative strips or decorative elements.
Claims51
A decorative shredded material, comprising:
- a substantially iridescent, creped sheet of flexible material having a creped upper surface and a creped lower surface, the substantially iridescent, creped sheet of flexible material being shredded into a plurality of creped decorative strips having a plurality of ridges and valleys which provide visual light and dark reflective effects, a light reflective effect provided by light striking the ridges creating light-reflective iridescence and a dark reflective effect provided by non-light reflective valleys, the light and dark reflective effects changing with a change in light directed upon and reflected from the plurality of ridges and valleys on each of the plurality of creped decorative strips, the substantially iridescent, creped sheet of flexible material comprising:
- a polymeric film;
- and
- a second material selected from the group consisting of paper, foil, polymeric film, fabric, fiber, burlap, cloth and combinations thereof.

A method for providing a decorative shredded material, comprising:
- providing a substantially iridescent sheet of flexible material having an upper surface and a lower surface, the substantially iridescent sheet of flexible material comprising:
- a polymeric film;
- and
- a second material selected from the group consisting of paper, foil, polymeric film, fabric, fiber, burlap, cloth and combinations thereof;
- creping the substantially iridescent sheet of flexible material such that both the upper surface and the lower surface thereof are creped, thereby providing a creped appearance having a plurality of ridges and valleys which provide visual light and dark reflective effects, a light reflective effect provided by light striking the ridges creating light-reflective iridescence and a dark reflective effect provided by non-light reflective valleys, the light and dark reflective effects changing with a change in light directed upon and reflected from the plurality of ridges and valleys;
- and
- shredding the substantially iridescent, creped sheet of flexible material into a plurality of creped decorative strips, each of the plurality of decorative strips having a plurality of ridges and valleys which provide visual light and dark reflective effects, the light and dark reflective effects changing with a change in light directed upon and reflected from the plurality of ridges and valleys on each of the plurality of creped decorative strips.
