Claims17
A vase apparatus comprising:
- a base form, wherein said base form is created from a waterproof material, and is operable to be transformed from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration;
- at least two side panels;
- a bottom panel, wherein said bottom panel is bounded by said side panels;
- a plurality of bend lines, wherein said bend lines are operable to create at least one overlapping panel when said base form is transformed form said unfolded configuration to said folded configuration along said bend lines;
- and
- an adhesive zone wherein said adhesive zone is operable to adhere at least one said overlapping panel to at least one said side panel.
A method for creating a vase apparatus comprising:
- creating a base form from a waterproof material;
- creating bend lines in said base form such that said bend lines define at least two side panels, a bottom panel, and at least twice as many overlapping panels as side panels;
- folding said base form along said bend lines such that an interior chamber is defined by said side panels and said overlapping panels;
- and
- adhering at least one said overlapping panel to at least one said side panel using an adhesive method.
A vase and greeting card envelope apparatus comprising:
- a vase apparatus comprising a base form, wherein the base form is created from a waterproof material, and is operable to be transformed from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration;
- at least two side panels;
- a bottom panel, wherein said bottom panel is bounded by said side panels;
- a plurality of bend lines, wherein said bend lines are operable to create overlapping panels when said base form is transformed form said unfolded configuration to said folded configuration along said bend lines;
- a first adhesive zone wherein said adhesive zone is operable to adhere at least one said overlapping panel to at least one said side panel;
- and
- a greeting card envelope comprising an envelope base form created from a paper material that is operable to be transformed from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration, wherein said envelope base form includes at least one side panel and side panel bend line at an interface of said side panel and a back panel;
- a front panel and front panel bend line at an interface of said back panel and said front panel;
- at least one second adhesive zone operable to adhere at least one said side panel to said front panel, when said base form is transformed form said unfolded configuration to said folded configuration along said bend lines;
- and
- a third adhesive zone located on said back panel operable to adhere said greeting card envelope to said side panel of said vase apparatus.
