Claims24
A method for wrapping a floral grouping comprising:
- providing a sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side, a first width near the first end and extending generally from the first side to the second side, and a second width near the second end and extending generally from the first side to the second side, and wherein the sheet of material has a closure bonding material disposed on at least one of the upper and the lower surfaces thereof, and wherein the sheet of material has a handle integral to the sheet of material, the handle comprising a portion of the sheet of material and extending from near the first end of the sheet of material;
- providing a floral grouping having a stem end and a bloom end;
- disposing the floral grouping on the upper surface of the sheet of material with the bloom end of the floral grouping positioned generally near the first end of the sheet;
- wrapping the sheet of material about the floral grouping and disposing the closure bonding material adjacent a portion of the sheet of material whereby the closure bonding material bondingly engages with and connects to an adjacent portion of the sheet of material for cooperating to secure the sheet of material wrapped about the floral grouping to provide a wrapper for the floral grouping, the wrapper having an upper end and a lower end opposite the upper end and with the handle extending from the upper end of the wrapper, and wherein the bloom end of the floral grouping is positioned near the upper end and wherein the handle can be grasped for carrying the wrapper with the floral grouping in a generally vertical orientation with the bloom end oriented upwardly and the stem end oriented downwardly.

- providing a floral grouping having a stem end and a bloom end;
- providing a first sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side, a first width near the first end and extending generally from the first side to the second side, and a second width near the second end and extending generally from the first side to the second side, and wherein the first sheet of material has a closure bonding material disposed on at least one of the upper and the lower surfaces thereof, and wherein the first sheet of material has a handle integral thereto, the handle comprising a portion of the first sheet of material and extending from near the first end thereof;
- providing a second sheet of material having an upper surface, a lower surface, a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side, a first width near the first end extending generally from the first side to the second side, and a second width near the second end extending generally from the first side to the second side, wherein the second sheet of material has a handle comprising a portion thereof which extends from near the first end of the second sheet of material, and wherein the second sheet of material is disposed upon a portion of the upper surface of the first sheet of material before the first sheet is wrapped about the floral grouping;
- disposing the floral grouping on the upper surface of the second sheet of material;
- wrapping the first and second sheets of material about the floral grouping and disposing the closure bonding material adjacent a portion of at least one of the sheets of material whereby the closure bonding material bondingly engages with and connects to an adjacent portion of one of the sheets of material for cooperating to secure the sheets of material wrapped about the floral grouping to provide a wrapper for the floral grouping, the wrapper having an open upper end and an open lower end and with the handle being disposed near the open upper end of the wrapper, and wherein the handle can be grasped for carrying the wrapper with the floral grouping disposed therein.
