FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to decorative grass and particularly decorative grass having an optical effect, used to both cushion objects and as decorative shredded material, slit material or cut material. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0003] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an optical effect material constructed in accordance with the present invention, showing a bonding material disposed on a lower surface of a second sheet of material which connects the second sheet of material to an adjacent first sheet of material to form the optical effect material. [0004] FIG. 2 is a top plan view of an upper surface of the first sheet of material constructed in accordance with the present invention, the upper and lower surfaces of the first sheet of material being identical. [0005] FIG. 3 is top plan view of an upper surface of the second sheet of material constructed in accordance with the present invention. [0006] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the optical effect material of the present invention, but showing the second sheet of material as a plurality of strips of material which are spaced a distance apart and laminated to the upper surface of the first sheet of material. [0007] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the present invention, but showing a third sheet of material disposed adjacent and connected to the upper surface of the second sheet of material, which is also disposed adjacent to the first sheet of material. [0008] FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a plurality of sheets of optical effect material constructed in accordance with the present invention forming a continuous roll of sheets, the sheets separated by perforations, and the roll partially unrolled to reveal a single sheet still attached thereto. [0009] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a roll of optical effect material wherein the roll of optical effect material is disposed in a dispenser for separating the roll into separate sheets of optical effect material and dispensing the separate sheets of optical effect material from the roll of optical effect material. [0010] FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a roll of optical effect material wherein the roll comprises a single sheet of optical effect material. [0011] FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a pad of sheets of optical effect material constructed in accordance with the present invention, showing an edge of the top sheet lifted, exposing the second sheet (each sheet of optical effect material, shown as only one sheet, comprising a first sheet of material and a second sheet of material). [0012] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the pad of sheets of optical effect material shown in FIG. 9, but showing the top sheet of material being detached from the pad of sheets of optical effect material. [0013] FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a roll of optical effect material constructed in accordance with the present invention (the first sheet and the second sheet shown as combined into a single sheet), showing a knife edge being actuated by an actuator to cut at least a portion of the roll of optical effect material into elongated strips of optical effect material. [0014] FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the roll of optical effect material of FIG. 11, but showing the knife edge being actuated in a second direction, to cut the elongated strips of optical effect material into small pieces of optical effect material. [0015] FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a floral grouping disposed on a sheet of optical effect material. [0016] FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the floral grouping of FIG. 13 being wrapped in one method of wrapping. [0017] FIG. 15 is a perspective view of the floral grouping wrapped in a conical fashion. [0018] FIG. 16 is a perspective view of another method of using a sheet of optical effect material to wrap a floral grouping in a cylindrical fashion. [0019] FIG. 17 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the sheet of optical effect material of the present invention, and a pot disposed upon the sheet. [0020] FIG. 18 is a perspective view of the sheet of optical effect material of FIG. 17, but showing the sheet of material partially wrapped about the flower pot. [0021] FIG. 19 is a perspective view of the sheet of optical effect material wrapped about the flower pot. Continue reading...
