ABSTRACT:
A decorative display device which is capable of being folded from a relatively flat single sheet of material into a three-dimensional object. The sheet of material is embossed on its flat front face such that embossed segments project outwardly beyond the surface of the sheet with respect to non-embossed segments. In one embodiment, the sheet of material can serve as a poster or similar single sheet art decorative item. When folded and properly assembled, the sheet becomes a three-dimensional display device with embossed segments projecting beyond the non-embossed segments. A design on the face of the sheet cooperates with the segments such that the design on the flat sheet is re-created when the sheet is folded into a three-dimensional display device. Thus, the surface contour of the device conforms to and cooperates with the design on the sheet of material. In a preferred embodiment, a flag having a plurality of stripes may constitute the design on the sheet of material, and when folded into the three-dimensional display device, the stripes co-act with the embossed and non-embossed segments.
