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 connecting means disposed on a portion of the sheet of material for connecting portions of the sheet of material to itself when wrapped about the floral arrangement;
• providing at least one first band having a first end and a second end and a bonding material disposed on at least a portion thereof, the first end of the first band connected to the sheet of material;
• extending the sheet of material about at least a portion of the floral arrangement such that a portion of the sheet of material extends about at least a portion of the stem portion, about the flower portion and extends a distance beyond the flower portion of the floral arrangement and a portion of the sheet of material having the connecting means disposed thereon overlaps another portion of the sheet of material resulting in overlapping portions which are connected together by the connecting means whereby the sheet of material substantially encompasses and surrounds a substantial portion of the stem portion of the floral arrangement forming a decorative wrapper about the floral arrangement, the decorative wrapper having an opening extending through a lower end thereof and an opening extending through an upper end thereof with a portion of the stem portion of the floral arrangement extending through the opening in the lower end and a portion of the flower portion of the floral arrangement being exposed near the opening in the upper end thereof;
• and
• extending the first band about the decorative wrapper so as to form a crimped portion in the decorative covering and connecting the second end of the first band to either a portion of the first band or to the crimped portion of the decorative covering via the bonding material for securing the first band in the position extending about the decorative covering, the crimped portion and the first band cooperating to hold the decorative covering in the position extending about the floral arrangement.
