Decorative grass having optical effect

Abstract

Decorative grass having an optical effect constructed of a sheet of material aligned with and bonded to a substantially iridescent sheet of material to form an optical effect material. The optical effect material is shredded to produce a plurality of strips of decorative grass having an optical effect. A third sheet of material can be aligned with and bonded to the iridescent sheet of material, wherein the sheets of material laminated to the iridescent sheet are light transmitting. The first sheet of material laminated to the iridescent sheet of material can be constructed from paper, polymeric film, metallized film, fabric, burlap, or combinations thereof.

1 . Decorative grass having an optical effect, comprising: 
 a first sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery, the first sheet of material being substantially iridescent;    a second sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery, wherein the second sheet of material is a light transmitting material which permits the iridescent qualities of the first sheet of material to be transmitted and seen through the second sheet of material, the second sheet of material being selected from the group consisting of paper, polymeric film, metallized film, fabric, burlap, and combinations thereof, the second sheet of material being aligned with and bonded to the first sheet of material, such that said first sheet of material and said second sheet of material together form an optical effect material; and    wherein said optical effect material is shredded to comprise a plurality of strips of decorative grass having an optical effect.    
   
   
       2 . Decorative grass having an optical effect, comprising: 
 a first sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery, the first sheet of material being substantially iridescent;    a second sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery, wherein the second sheet of material is a light transmitting material which permits the iridescent qualities of the first sheet of material to be transmitted and seen through the second sheet of material, the second sheet of material being selected from the group consisting of paper, polymeric film, metallized film, fabric, burlap, and combinations thereof, the second sheet of material being aligned with and bonded to the first sheet of material, such that said first sheet of material and said second sheet of material together form an optical effect material; and    wherein said optical effect material is cut to comprise a plurality of strips of decorative grass having an optical effect.    
   
   
       3 . Decorative grass having an optical effect, comprising: 
 a first sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery, the first sheet of material being substantially iridescent;    a second sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery, wherein the second sheet of material is a light transmitting material which permits the iridescent qualities of the first sheet of material to be transmitted and seen through the second sheet of material, the second sheet of material being selected from the group consisting of paper, polymeric film, metallized film, fabric, burlap, and combinations thereof, the second sheet of material being aligned with and bonded to the first sheet of material;    a third sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery, the third sheet of material being aligned with and bonded to the first sheet of material, wherein the third sheet of material is formed of a light transmitting material which permits the iridescent qualities of the first sheet of material to be transmitted and seen through the third sheet of material, and wherein said first sheet of material, said second sheet of material and said third sheet of material together form an optical effect material; and    wherein said optical effect material is shredded to comprise a plurality of strips of decorative grass having an optical effect.    
   
   
       4 . Decorative grass having an optical effect, comprising: 
 a first sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery, the first sheet of material being substantially iridescent;    a second sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery, wherein the second sheet of material is a light transmitting material which permits the iridescent qualities of the first sheet of material to be transmitted and seen through the second sheet of material, the second sheet of material being selected from the group consisting of paper, polymeric film, metallized film, fabric, burlap, and combinations thereof, the second sheet of material being aligned with and bonded to the first sheet of material;    a third sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery, the third sheet of material being aligned with and bonded to the first sheet of material, wherein the third sheet of material is formed of a light transmitting material which permits the iridescent qualities of the first sheet of material to be transmitted and seen through the third sheet of material, and wherein said first sheet of material, said second sheet of material and said third sheet of material together form an optical effect material; and    wherein said optical effect material is cut to comprise a plurality of strips of decorative grass having an optical effect.
