A method for wrapping a floral arrangement, comprising:
- providing a floral arrangement;
- providing a sheet of material having
- an upper surface,
- a lower surface,
- a first connecting means disposed on a portion of the sheet of material for connecting portions of the sheet of material to itself during the wrapping step, the first connecting means comprising a bonding material, the first connecting means positioned such that portions of the sheet of material adjacent the floral arrangement can be crimped together about the floral arrangement;
- a second connecting means for further crimpingly connecting portions of the sheet of material about the floral arrangement, the second connecting means comprising a pull tab attached to the sheet of material, the pull tab having a bonding material disposed on a portion thereof, the pull tab acting both to crimpingly connect portions of the sheet of material about the floral arrangement and to retain the sheet of material in a crimped condition about the floral arrangement;
- placing the floral arrangement on the sheet of material;
- wrapping the sheet of material about the floral arrangement causing a portion of the sheet of material near the first connecting means to overlap another portion of the sheet of material resulting in overlapping portions;
- bonding the overlapping portions of the sheet of material by contacting and connecting the first connecting means on the adjacent overlapping portions of the sheet of material whereby the overlapping portions of the sheet of material are bonded together, the sheet of material encompassing and surrounding a portion of the floral arrangement;
- and
- binding the sheet of material to the floral arrangement by at least crimping a portion of the sheet of material together causing the first connecting means to engage adjacent portions of the sheet of material, said first connecting means crimpingly connecting said portions of the sheet of material about the portion of the floral arrangement, and wrapping the second connecting means comprising the pull tab about the sheet of material and connecting the pull tab to the sheet of material via the bonding material on the pull tab to bindingly connect the pull tab about the sheet of material, the pull tab both crimpingly connecting said portions of the sheet of material about the floral arrangement and retaining the sheet of material in a crimped condition, both first connecting means and second connecting means thereby firmly binding the sheet of material to the floral arrangement.
