Abstract
A three-dimensional, ornamental product is made by cutting a two-dimensional design out of a planar laminate and abrading the design into the final three-dimensional shape of the product, thereby exposing the different layers of the laminate in an exterior surface pattern. The laminate is formed from multi-colored sheets of paper.
Claims3
A method of making an ornamental device comprising the steps of:
- a. adhesively securing a plurality of sheets of distinguishably colored construction paper in overlying relation to form a laminate having planar top and bottom surfaces,
- b. drying the laminate into a rigid, hard panel,
- c. cutting the laminate along a predetermined outline in perpendicular relation to the top and bottom surfaces to form a cut-out,
- d. removing material from the cut-out at predetermined areas to reveal portions of at least some of the sheets disposed inwardly of the outer sheets of the cut-out,
- e. coating the cut-out with a clear waterproof material, and
- f. the step of beveling and rounding the peripheral edge of the cut-out to reveal the side edge of the sheets of paper as distinguishably colored peripheral stripes visible from both the top and bottom of the object.
