DECORATING MEMBER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decorate a three-dimensionally curved surface by a method wherein an electrically flocked layer is formed on the surface of a thermoplastic plastic sheet or of a thermoplastic foamed plastic sheet so as to apply printing on the surface of the electrically flocked layer and then form the surface into a predetermined shape. SOLUTION: A plastic cup holder 1 consists of a cup housing part 2 and a back plate 3. On both the side surfaces of the cup housing part 2, projected parts 4 are formed. Each one of decorating members 5 consists of a polypropylene sheet 6 having a thickness of 0.5 mm and an electrically flocked layer 7 formed on the surface of the polypropylene sheet 6. Spots 7A are printed on the surface of the electrically flocked layer 7. The polypropylene sheet 6 is softened by being excessively heated after being electrically flocked and printed and then cold-pressed into a shape conforming to the shape of each of the projected parts 4 on both the side surfaces of the cup housing part 2 of the cup holder 1, so as to obtain a decorating member 5, on the surface of which an animal-like pattern is given.
