Claims15
A method of decoratively wrapping a floral grouping, comprising the steps of:
- providing an iridescent wrapping material comprising:
- an iridescent sheet of material having an upper surface and an opposing lower surface wherein each of the upper and lower surfaces provide an iridescent optical effect;
- and
- a transparent sheet of material laminated to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the iridescent sheet of material such that the iridescent optical effect of each of the upper and lower surfaces of the iridescent sheet of material is visible;
- and
- wrapping the iridescent wrapping material about the floral grouping so as to encompass at least a portion of the floral grouping and thereby provide a decorative wrapping about the floral grouping wherein the decorative wrapping provides an iridescent optical effect.

A method of decoratively wrapping a floral grouping, comprising the steps of:
- providing a sleeve formed of an iridescent sheet of material having an upper surface and an opposing lower surface wherein each of the upper and lower surfaces provides an iridescent optical effect and a transparent sheet of material laminated to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the iridescent sheet of material such that the iridescent optical effect of each of the upper and lower surfaces of the iridescent sheet of material is visible;
- and
- disposing the sleeve about the floral grouping so as to encompass at least a portion of the floral grouping and thereby provide a decorative wrapping about the floral grouping wherein the decorative wrapping provides an iridescent optical effect.
A method of decoratively wrapping a flower pot, comprising the steps of:
- providing an iridescent wrapping material comprising:
- an iridescent sheet of material having an upper surface and an opposing lower surface wherein each of the upper and lower surfaces provides an iridescent optical effect;
- and
- a transparent sheet of material laminated to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the iridescent sheet of material such that the iridescent optical effect of each of the upper and lower surfaces of the iridescent sheet of material is visible;
- and
- forming the iridescent wrapping material about the flower pot so as to encompass at least a portion of the flower pot and thereby provide a decorative wrapping about the flower pot wherein the decorative wrapping provides an iridescent optical effect.

- a transparent sheet of material laminated to at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the iridescent sheet of material such that the iridescent optical effect of each of the upper and lower surfaces of the iridescent sheet of material is visible;
- forming the iridescent wrapping material into a flower pot cover having a predetermined shape with a closed lower end, an opened upper end, and an object opening dimensioned to receive the flower pot extending through the opened upper end, the iridescent wrapping material having a plurality of overlapping folds formed between the upper end and the lower end, the iridescent wrapping material having an upper surface and a lower surface with at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface being a bondable surface such that the overlapping folds are fixed thereby enabling the iridescent wrapping material to retain the predetermined shape;
- and
- disposing the flower pot into the object opening of the flower pot cover such that the flower pot cover provides a decorative wrapping about the flower pot wherein the decorative wrapping provides an iridescent optical effect.
