Abstract
The ornamental accessory comprises a planar structure having a uniquely feathered periphery. The particular accessory illustrated is in the form of a star which frictionally engages about a bulb of a string of lights. The injection molding method for producing the accessory comprises the steps of: producing a two piece die for the desired base configuration for the accessory; clamping the die closed through application of clamping pressure against the pieces of the die; and injecting a suitable substance into the die at a pressure greater than the clamping pressure to allow the injected substance to bleed outwardly between the pieces of the die.
