Claims38
A method for forming decorative grass assimilating Spanish moss, comprising:
- providing a first web of material;
- providing a second web of material;
- stretching the first web of material;
- maintaining the first web of material in the stretched condition while laminating the stretched first web of material to the second web of material to form a web of laminated material having a preset curl therein, the web of laminated material having a grayish green color substantially corresponding to the color of Spanish moss;
- and
- cutting at least a portion of the web of laminated material having a preset curl therein to form decorative curled grass, which in cluster form, simulates Spanish moss in appearance.
3 more elements
A method for forming decorative grass simulating Spanish moss in appearance, comprising:
- providing a web of laminated material having a color substantially corresponding with the color of Spanish moss and capable of having a curl imparted thereto;
- contacting the web of laminated material with a surface capable of providing a curl in the web of laminated material and applying sufficient pressure to the laminated material to set the curl in the laminated material;
- and
- cutting at least a portion of the web of laminated material having a curl set therein to form decorative curled grass simulating Spanish moss in appearance.
1 more element
A method for making curled decorative grass simulating Spanish moss comprising the steps of:
- drawing a web of laminated material having a color substantially corresponding with the color of Spanish moss and capable of having a curl imparted thereto over at least one curl bar while maintaining the web of laminated material under tension so as to form a curled web of laminated material having a color substantially corresponding with the color of Spanish moss;
- slitting the curled web of laminated material to provide a slit web of laminated material containing a plurality of strips having a predetermined width;
- and
- cutting the slit web of laminated material to provide decorative curled grass simulating Spanish moss in appearance.
1 more element
A method for making curled decorative grass simulating Spanish moss comprising the steps of:
- providing a web of laminated material having a distortion preset therein, the web of material having a color substantially corresponding with the color of Spanish moss;
- slitting the web of laminated material having a distortion preset therein to provide a slit web of laminated material containing a plurality of strips having a predetermined width;
- and
- cutting the slit web of laminated material to provide decorative curled grass which, in cluster form, simulates Spanish moss in appearance.
1 more element
A method for making curled decorative grass simulating Spanish moss comprising the steps of:
- drawing a web of material selected from the group consisting of paper, polymeric film and combinations thereof and having a color substantially corresponding to the color of Spanish moss and which is capable of having a curl imparted thereto over at least one curl bar while maintaining the web of material under tension so as to form a curled web of material having a color substantially corresponding with the color of Spanish moss;
- slitting the curled web of material to provide a slit web of material containing a plurality of strips having a predetermined width;
- and
- cutting the slit web of material to provide decorative curled grass simulating Spanish moss in appearance.
1 more element
A method for making curled decorative grass simulating Spanish moss comprising the steps of:
- imparting a curl to a web of paper having a color substantially corresponding with the color of Spanish moss so as to form a curled web of paper having a color substantially corresponding with the color of Spanish moss;
- slitting the curled web of paper to provide a slit web of paper containing a plurality of strips having a predetermined width;
- and
- cutting the slit web of paper to provide decorative curled grass which, in cluster form, simulates Spanish moss in appearance and color.
1 more element
A method for making curled decorative grass simulating Spanish moss comprising the steps of:
- imparting a curl to a web of polymeric film having a color substantially corresponding with the color of Spanish moss so as to form a curled web of polymeric film having a color substantially corresponding to the color of Spanish moss;
- slitting the curled web of polymeric film to provide a slit web of polymeric film containing a plurality of strips having a predetermined width;
- and
- cutting the slit web of polymeric film to provide decorative curled grass simulating Spanish moss in appearance.
1 more element
A method for making curled decorative grass simulating Spanish moss comprising the steps of:
- providing a web of paper having a color substantially corresponding to the color of Spanish moss, the web of paper having a curl set therein;
- cutting the web of paper into a plurality of intertwined strips which, in cluster form, provide decorative curled grass simulating Spanish moss in appearance.
