Abstract
The present disclosure relates to 3-dimensional (3D) articles with a printed fabric skin that provides an aesthetic appearance to the 3D articles. The printed fabric skin may be a photograph that is printed on a fabric material, which is then applied to a base material to form the 3D article. Registration markers are used to align features of the printed fabric material with corresponding textured features of the 3D body of the article. This provides a light-weight article (such as a decoy) with a 3D shape and texture and image quality printed fabric skin.
