- forming the sheet of material into a preformed pot cover comprising a preformed base and a skirt provided with the printed pattern having a three dimensional appearance, the preformed base being sized to contain the flower pot and having an upper end, a lower end, an outer peripheral surface and a pot opening formed through the upper end thereof providing access to a pot receiving space, the skirt connected to the upper end of the preformed base so as to extend an distance outwardly from the upper end of the base and terminating with an outer periphery;
- and
- positioning the flower pot in the pot receiving space of the preformed pot cover such that the open upper end of the flower pot remains substantially uncovered and thereby provide the decorative cover about the flower pot.
A decorative preformed pot cover for covering a pot made by forming a sheet of material into the pot cover wherein the sheet of material has a printed pattern on at least a portion thereof wherein the printed pattern is produced by application of ink to the sheet of material whereby the printed pattern is provided with a three dimensional appearance as a result of a visual perception of depth created by shaded and highlighted areas created in the printed pattern, the decorative preformed pot cover comprising a base having an upper end, a lower end, an outer surface, an object opening and a skirt extending a distance from the upper end of the base, and wherein the forming of the sheet of material having the printed pattern into the decorative preformed pot cover having a preformed shape is accomplished by forming the sheet of material having the printed pattern thereon into the base and the skirt with the base having a plurality of flattened and overlapping folds which are randomly positioned at various positions over the entire outer surface of the base wherein at least some of the overlapping folds are permanently connected and with a majority of the folds extending at various and arbitrary distances and extending at angles to a vertical direction and at angles to a horizontal direction, and with the skirt having a plurality of overlapping folds, the folds in the skirt being left substantially unconnected during the forming of the decorative preformed pot cover, and the connected folds in the base cooperating to provide the flexible, yet shape-sustaining nature of the decorative preformed pot cover and providing the decorative preformed pot cover with a memory of the original preformed shape.
A preformed pot cover for covering a pot made by connecting a first sheet of material to a second sheet of material and forming the sheets of material into the pot cover wherein at least one of the first and second sheets of material has a printed pattern on at least a portion thereof and wherein the printed pattern is produced by application of ink to the sheet of material whereby the printed pattern is provided with a three dimensional appearance as a result of a visual perception of depth created by shaded and highlighted areas created in the printed pattern, the preformed pot cover comprising a base having an upper end, a lower end, an outer surface an object opening, and a skirt extending a distance from the upper end of the base, and wherein the forming of the first and second sheets of material into the preformed pot cover having a preformed shape is accomplished by forming the first and second sheets of material into the base and the skirt of the preformed pot cover, the base of the preformed pot cover having a plurality of flattened and overlapping folds which are randomly positioned at various positions and with adjacent overlapping portions of at least some of the over lapping folds being connected, and the skirt having a plurality of overlapping folds which remain substantially unconnected, the connected folds in the base cooperating to retain the preformed pot cover in the preformed shape so that the preformed pot cover may be substantially flattened and unflattened to assume the original preformed shape of the preformed pot cover without substantial loss of the preformed shape thereby providing the flexible, yet shape-sustaining nature of the preformed pot cover.
A preformed pot cover for covering a pot made by forming at least one sheet of material having a printed pattern into the preformed pot cover wherein the printed pattern is provided with a three dimensional appearance as a result of a visual perception of depth created by shaded and highlighted areas in the printed pattern, the preformed pot cover comprising a base having an upper end, a lower end, an outer surface, an object opening, and a skirt extending a distance from the upper end of the base, and wherein the sheet of material has adhesive means on at least a portion thereof, and wherein the forming of the sheet of material having the printed pattern thereon into the preformed pot cover having a preformed shape is accomplished by forming the sheet of material into the base and the skirt with the base having a plurality of flattened and overlapping folds which are randomly positioned at various positions with adjacent portions of at least some of the overlapping folds being permanently fixed and with the skirt having a plurality of overlapping folds which are substantially unconnected during the forming of the preformed pot cover, and the overlapping fixed folds in the base of the preformed pot cover cooperating to retain the preformed pot cover in the preformed shape of the preformed pot cover wherein the preformed pot cover is flexible and may be substantially flattened and unflattened to assume the original preformed shape of the preformed pot cover without substantial loss of the preformed shape thereby providing the flexible, yet shape-sustaining characteristics of the preformed pot cover.
A sheet of material formable into a decorative cover extending about at least a portion of a floral grouping or a flower pot wherein the sheet of material contains a printed pattern having shaded and highlighted areas which provide the printed pattern with a visual perception of depth and thereby a three-dimensional appearance.
A decorative sleeve extending about at least a portion of a floral grouping or a flower pot wherein the decorative sleeve contains a printed pattern having shaded and highlighted areas which provide the printed pattern with a visual perception of depth and thereby a three-dimensional appearance.
A preformed pot cover formed from a sheet of material having a printed pattern containing shaded and highlighted areas which produce a visual perception of depth and thereby provides the printed pattern with a three-dimensional appearance.
A decorative cover for a floral grouping or flower pot formed from a sheet of material having a three-dimensional appearing printed pattern, the three-dimensional printed pattern having shaded and highlighted areas which provide the printed pattern with a visual perception of depth and thus the three-dimensional appearing printed pattern.
