[Prior Art]

 Star sand is a common name for the dead crust of large-scale benthic foraminifera called Baculogypsin a sphaerulata, which is distributed in coral reefs around Okinawa. These foraminifers usually have five pointed spines, a central diameter of about 1.5 mm or less and a star-shaped morphology, and their dead shells accumulate to form beaches. , Called star sand. Conventionally, star sand is sold in tourist souvenirs as an accessory because it is packed in a small bottle as it is due to its peculiar shape or enclosed in a transparent plastic body. However, simply bottling or encapsulating in plastic has a problem that the decoration value is low, although a lot of star sand is required.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show an embodiment in which the star sand ornament of the present invention is applied to a postcard. The cross-sectional view of FIG. 2 is thicker because the characteristic portion is exaggerated from the actual cross section for convenience of description. In the figure, 1 is a base formed by cutting plywood into a postcard size. A background is provided on one side of the base, and a backside of the base has a postal code frame and a stamp affixing frame similar to the surface of a normal postcard. Etc. are printed by silk screen printing. In the present embodiment, the background picture is a constellation series used in horoscopes, one constellation of 12 kinds of constellations is printed on one substrate, and 12 kinds of different constellations (in the illustrated embodiment, the starry sky A background picture layer 2 is formed to represent a picture in which the Gemini is raised. Further, glue is applied to the upper surface of the background picture layer to form an adhesive layer 3, and star sand 4 is studded and adhered to the main part of the picture at the position where the star forming the constellation is located in the main part of the picture. In addition, if necessary, artificial colored sand 5 with fine particles is appropriately arranged by assuming it as a number of stars scattered in the starry sky. If necessary, star sand can also be appropriately colored before use. When the adhesive dries, a transparent varnish or lacquer is applied or coated or laminated with a transparent synthetic resin to prevent the adhered star sand or colored sand from easily peeling off from the top, and the coating layer 6 To form.

In the postcard constructed as described above, natural star sand in the shape of a star forms a constellation, which rises three-dimensionally in the background picture, which invites a dream to the universe and has a decorative value. In addition to being high, you can enhance the impression of the recipient by choosing a constellation that matches the birthday of yourself or the addressee.

For example, various materials such as wood board, paper, glass, metal plate, plastic board, cloth, etc. can be applied to the substrate, and with these substrates, postcards, wall hangings, picture with frame, window glass, desk lamp and other lamps can be applied. By forming the shade, a star sand ornament that is also practical can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, the background picture is printed on the substrate by screen printing. However, the picture is not necessarily printed, but a film or sheet having a picture or a drawing by handwriting or a photograph is attached. It goes without saying that the method of wearing can also be adopted. Also, the term “picture” does not necessarily mean a picture, but includes the case where a simple color is simply applied. The coating layer may be coated to such an extent that the star sand is not easily separated, and the thickness of the coating layer may be increased so that the entire star sand is completely enclosed inside the coating layer, or It is also possible to make it thin so that a part of the star sand protrudes to the upper surface. Further, in some cases, the adhesive layer may be thickened so that the adhesive layer also serves as the coating layer.

[Effect of the device]

 The present invention is configured as described above and has the following special effects. By appropriately arranging star sand according to the picture drawn on the substrate, the natural shape of the star sand emerges in the background picture, and a small amount of star sand makes a highly decorative star sand ornament inexpensive. Can be obtained.
