A flower pot or flower pot cover, comprising:
- a base having an upper end and a lower end with an object opening extending through the upper end and having a plurality of overlapping folds formed in the base for cooperating to provide structural integrity to the base;
- and
- a skirt connected to the upper end of the base and extending a distance outwardly from the upper end of the base terminating with an outer peripheral surface, the skirt having a plurality of folds extending from about the upper end of the base outwardly to the outer peripheral surface of the skirt, a portion of the folds in the skirt between a position near the upper end of the base and spaced a distance from the outer peripheral surface of the skirt toward the upper end of the base being permanently connected forming connected folds with said portion having the connected folds extending circumferentially about the skirt, and a remaining portion of the folds between the outer peripheral surface of the skirt and said portion with the connected folds being unconnected with said remaining portion extending circumferentially about the skirt.
A flower pot or flower pot cover, comprising:
- a base having an upper end and a lower end with an object opening extending through the upper end and having a plurality of overlapping folds formed in the base for cooperating to provide structural integrity to the base;
- and
- a skirt connected to the upper end of the base and extending a distance outwardly therefrom terminating with an outer peripheral surface, the skirt having a plurality of folds extending from about the upper end of the base outwardly to the outer peripheral surface of the skirt, a portion of the folds in the skirt between the outer peripheral surface of the skirt and a position spaced a distance from the outer peripheral surface of the skirt toward the upper end of the base being permanently connected forming connected folds with said portion having the connected folds extending circumferentially about the skirt, and the remaining portion of the folds between the upper end of the base and said portion having the connected folds being unconnected with said remaining portion extending circumferentially about the skirt.
A flower pot or flower pot cover, comprising:
- a base having an upper end and a lower end with an object opening extending through the upper end and having a plurality of overlapping folds formed in the base for cooperating to provide structural integrity to the base;
