Claims21
A method for making curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a material having a texture or appearance simulating the texture or appearance of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof;
- curling the material having a texture or appearance simulating the texture or appearance of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof to provide a curled material;
- cutting the curled material having a texture or appearance simulating the texture or appearance of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof to form curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof.
A method for forming curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a web of polymeric film having an upper surface, a lower surface and a thickness of from about 0.5 mil to about 10 mil wherein at least a portion of one of the upper and lower surfaces of the polymeric film is modified to provide a texture or appearance simulating the texture or appearance of paper;
- curling the web of polymeric film to provide a curled web of polymeric film;
- and
- cutting at least a portion of the curled web of polymeric film to form curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof.
A method for forming curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a laminated material comprising:
- a polymeric film having an upper surface, a lower surface and a thickness in the range of from about 0.6 mil to about 10 mil;
- and
- a material laminated to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the polymeric film, at least a portion of one surface of one of the polymeric film and the material laminated thereto being modified so as to provide at least a portion of one surface of the laminated material with an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper;
- curling the laminated material to provide a curled laminated material;
- and
- cutting the curled laminated material to produce curled decorative grass having an appearance or texture simulating the appearance or texture of paper on at least a portion of one surface thereof.
