Claims43
A method for wrapping a floral arrangement, comprising:
- providing a floral arrangement having a flower portion and a stem portion;
- providing a sheet of material having
- an upper surface, a lower surface and an outer periphery, the sheet of material having
- a connecting means disposed on at least a portion of the sheet of material for connecting portions of the sheet of material to itself;
- 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 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 connecting means to 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 thereby forming a wrapper about the floral arrangement;
- and
- binding the wrapper to the floral arrangement by crimping portions of the wrapper together about the floral arrangement and causing the connecting means to engage portions of the wrapper for holding the portions of the wrapper crimped about the floral arrangement.

- providing a floral arrangement having a flower portion and a stem portion;
- providing a sheet of material having
- an upper surface, a lower surface and an outer periphery, the sheet having both
- a first connecting means for connecting portions of the sheet of material to itself, and
- a second connecting means attached to the sheet of material for both crimpingly connecting portions of the sheet of material to itself and retaining the sheet of material in a crimped condition;
- 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 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 to 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 thereby forming a wrapper about the floral arrangement;
- and
- binding the wrapper to the floral arrangement by at least crimping a portion of the wrapper together causing the first connecting means to engage adjacent portions of the wrapper, said first connecting means crimpingly connecting said portions of the wrapper about the portion of the floral arrangement, and wrapping the second connecting means about the wrapper thereby both crimpingly connecting said portions of the wrapper about the portion of the floral arrangement and retaining the wrapper in a crimped condition, both first connecting means and second connecting means thereby firmly binding the wrapper to the floral arrangement.
