Abstract
In order to manufacture a head rest skin as a final product, a main portion (G) of the skin, which lacks a lower surface portion (K) of the skin, necessary to complete the head rest skin as the final product, is prepared first. Then, a lower surface opening peripheral edge (g) of the main portion (G) of the skin is turned up to expose a back surface of the skin, and a decorated surface (I) of the main portion (G) of the skin is folded into the turned up lower surface opening peripheral edge. A peripheral edge (k) of a lower surface portion (K) of the skin and the lower surface opening peripheral edge (g) of the main portion (G) of the skin are overlapped one upon another in such a manner that the decorated surfaces of these edges (g), (k) confront each other with the back surface (R) of the lower surface portion (K) of the skin facing outward, and the overlapped peripheral edge portions are thereafter joined. Then, the main portion (G) of the skin on the decorated surface side is pulled out by taking advantage of a slit 9 formed in the lower surface portion (K) of the skin so that the skin is arranged right side out.
