A method for decorating a substrate (9) using a kit that includes a laminate (10) comprising a cover sheet (11) having a layer (12) of adhesive on one surface, a predetermined printed design, and pieces (17, 18)of optical film that have peripheral shapes corresponding to parts of the printed design, each of which pieces has a layer of adhesive (19) along one surface and grooves or other structure along an opposite surface (20) so that the pieces visually simulate decorative structures. The pieces of optical film are placed over portions of the design corresponding to their shapes, the structured surfaces of the pieces of film are adhered to the adhesive on the laminate, and the pieces of optical film adhered to the layer of adhesive on the laminate are positioned at a desired location on the substrate. Air is pressed out from between the pieces of optical film and the substrate, after which the laminate is removed to leave the pieces of optical film adhered to the substrate in the predetermined design.
L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de décorer un substrat à l'aide d'un kit comprenant un laminé composé d'une feuille de couverture présentant une couche d'adhésif sur une surface, un motif imprimé prédéterminé, et des portions de film optique dont les formes périphériques correspondent à des parties du motif imprimé, chacune de ces portions présentant une couche d'un adhésif le long d'une surface et des orifices ou une autre structure le long d'une surface opposée, de telle sorte que les portions simulent des structures décoratives. Les portions de film optique sont placées par dessus des portions du motif correspondant à leurs formes, les surfaces structurées des portions de film étant collées à l'adhésif sur le laminé, et les portions du film optique collées à la couche d'adhésif sur le laminé étant placées à un emplacement souhaité sur le substrat. L'air est évacué de l'espace entre les portions du film optique et le substrat, puis le laminé est retiré de manière à laisser les portions du film optique collées sur le substrat selon le motif souhaité.
