Removable wrap for decorating bottles and other objects

A bottle decorated with a removable wrap, comprising:

• (a) a bottle;
• and
• (b) a removable wrap, including:
• (i) a thin resilient planar body that is curved such that the body forms a structure resembling a portion of a cylinder, the body having an outer surface and an inner surface;
• and
• (ii) a decorative treatment applied to the outer surface of the body;
• (iii) wherein in a first state, the wrap is separated from the bottle, and the cylindrical structure that is partially formed by the body is in a natural or default state and has a first radius;
• (iv) wherein in a second state, the wrap is separated from the bottle, and the cylindrical structure that is partially formed by the body is in a spread state and has a second radius, the second radius being greater than the first radius;
• and
• (v) wherein in a third state, the wrap is mounted around the bottle, and the cylindrical structure that is partially formed by the body is in a partially-spread mounting state and has a third radius, the third radius being greater than the first radius but less than the second radius such that bias in the partially-spread curved resilient planar body is applied to the bottle.

A method of decorating a bottle or other object, comprising:

• (a) producing a flat body of a thin resilient material;
• (b) curving the flat body to produce a thin resilient planar body that forms a structure resembling a portion of a cylinder, the body having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein:
• (i) in a first state, the cylindrical structure that is partially formed by the body is in a natural or default state and has a first radius,
• (ii) in a second state, the cylindrical structure that is partially formed by the body is in a spread state and has a second radius, the second radius being greater than the first radius, and
• (iii) in a third state, the cylindrical structure that is partially formed by the body is in a partially-spread mounting state and has a third radius, the third radius being greater than the first radius but less than the second radius;
• (c) applying a decorative treatment to the outer surface of the body;
• (d) spreading sides of the body open such that the cylindrical structure that is partially formed by the body is in the second or spread state and has the second radius;
• and
• (e) releasing the body until the cylindrical structure that is partially formed by the body is in the third or partially-spread mounting state, and has the third radius, such that the wrap is mounted around the bottle or other object and held in place by forces created by the bias of the resilient body against the bottle or other object.
