• providing a sheet of material having an upper surface a lower surface, and an outer periphery, a colored sticky element being disposed upon at least a portion of at least one surface of the sheet of material, the colored sticky element comprising at least a portion of a decoration on the sheet of material, the colored sticky element blending with the decoration thereby hiding the bonding characteristics of the colored sticky element;
• providing an item comprising a floral arrangement;
• disposing the floral arrangement on the sheet of material;
• positioning the floral arrangement on the sheet of material such that both the decoration is displayed and the colored sticky element is positioned so that the colored sticky element will blend with the decoration when positioned to connect at least a portion of the sheet of material to itself;
• wrapping the sheet of material about the floral arrangement by overlapping a portion of the sheet of material over another portion of the sheet of material;
• and
• connecting the overlapping portions of the sheet of material together by contacting the colored sticky element on each overlapping portion of the sheet of material with a corresponding adjacent portion of the sheet of material wherein the colored sticky element on the sheet of material contacts the sheet of material to connect the overlapping portions of the sheet of material together, the connected sheet of material substantially encompassing and surrounding a substantial portion of the floral arrangement thereby forming a wrapper,
• wherein the colored sticky element on the wrapper is visible, providing at least a portion of the decoration after the sheet of material has been wrapped about the floral arrangement to form the wrapper.
