Abstract
Disclosed herein is a kit including one or more decorative elements (pixel layers) and a substrate. The pixel layers can comprise a pre-shaped layer of rigid, semi-rigid, and/or flexible material that can mate with and/or attach to a substrate (for example, to decorate the substrate). Moreover, the substrate can have an adhesive backing to attach to at least one surface. Example uses of the disclosure include toy building blocks and hobby craft kits (for example, hobby craft kits including creative patterns with instructions, pixel layers, and substrates). The hobby craft kits can be used to make abstract designs for decorating notebook covers, phone covers, and tablet covers.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a pixel layer;
- and
- a substrate, the substrate comprising a flexible and separable unit;
- wherein the substrate comprises one or more protrusions and the pixel layer comprises one or more cavities;
- wherein the pixel layer is attached to the substrate at least in part by a mechanical mating of the one or more cavities of the pixel layer with the one or more protrusions of the substrate;
- and
- wherein the substrate further comprises an adhesive layer on at least one face of the substrate.
A method for decorating a surface, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate to mount a pixel layer at least in part by a mechanical mating of one or more cavities of the pixel layer with one or more protrusions of the substrate, wherein the substrate has an adhesive layer on at least one face of the substrate;
- and
- attaching, using the adhesive layer, the substrate having the pixel layer to a first surface.
