Claims
- 1. A method of wrapping at least a portion of a flower pot, comprising:
- providing a wrapping material comprising a sheet of material sufficiently sized to wrap at least a portion of the flower pot; wherein the sheet of material comprises an upper surface and a lower surface; and a cling material secured to a portion of the sheet material,
- wherein the cling material is capable of connecting to the sheet of material and itself upon contacting engagement and wherein the sheet of material with the cling material connected thereto is wrappable about the flower pot whereby portions of the cling material contactingly engage and connect to portions of the wrapping material for generally securing the sheet of material wrapped about at least a portion of the flower pot,
- wrapping the flower pot by disposing the sheet of material about the flower pot so that portions of the cling material contactingly engage and connect to portions of the wrapping material for generally securing the sheet of material about at least a portion of the flower pot.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the sheet of material is at least partially wrapped about a flower pot having a floral arrangement therein.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the sheet of material is selected from a group consisting of cloth, paper, cellophane, foil, man-made organic polymer films or combinations thereof.
- 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the cling material comprises polyethylene.
- 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the sheet of material has an outer peripheral surface, wherein the cling material is connected to a portion of the sheet of material so that at least a portion of the cling material extends beyond the outer peripheral surface of the sheet of material.
- 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of cling materials, each cling material having a portion connected to a portion of the sheet of material.
- 7. The method of claim 6 wherein one of the cling materials is secured to at least a portion of the upper surface of the sheet of material.
- 8. The method of claim 6 wherein one of the cling materials is secured to at least a portion of the lower surface of the sheet of material.
- 9. The method of claim 6 wherein one of the cling materials is secured to at least a portion of the upper surface of the sheet of material and one other cling material is secured to at least a portion of the lower surface of the sheet of material.
- 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the cling material comprises a thickness in a range of less than about 0.2 mils to about 10 mils.
- 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the cling material comprises a thickness in a range of less than about 0.6 mils to about 2 mils.
- 12. The method of claim 1 wherein the sheet of material comprises a thickness of a range of less than about 0.2 mils to about 10 mils.
- 13. The method of claim 1 wherein the sheet of material comprises a thickness in a range of less than about 0.5 mils to about 2.5 mils.
- 14. A method for wrapping at least a portion of a flower pot having a floral arrangement therein, the floral arrangement comprising at least one stem portion at one end and at least one growing portion at the opposite end, comprising:
- providing a wrapping material comprising a sheet of material sufficiently sized to wrap at least a portion of the flower pot having a floral arrangement therein, wherein the sheet of material has an upper surface, a lower surface; and a cling material secured to a portion of the sheet of material
- wherein the cling material is capable of connecting to the sheet of material and itself upon contacting engagement and wherein the sheet of material with the cling material connected thereto is wrappable about the flower pot having a floral arrangement therein whereby portions of the cling material contactingly engage and connect to other portions of the wrapping material for generally securing the sheet of material wrapped about at least a portion of the flower pot having a floral arrangement therein;
- disposing the flower pot having a floral arrangement therein on the sheet of material; and
- positioning a portion of the upper surface of the sheet of material over at least a portion of the flower pot having the floral arrangement therein and wrapping at least a portion of the flower pot having the floral arrangement therein with the wrapping material such that the entire sheet of material is wrapped about at least a portion of the flower pot having the floral arrangement therein whereby portions of the cling material contactingly engage and connect to other portions of the wrapping material for generally securing the sheet of material wrapped about at least a portion of the flower pot having the floral arrangement therein.
- 15. The method of claim 14 wherein the sheet of material is selected from a group consisting of cloth, paper, cellophane, foil, man-made organic polymer film or combinations thereof.
- 16. The method of claim 14 wherein the cling material comprises polyethylene.
- 17. The method of claim 14 wherein the sheet of material has an outer peripheral surface, and wherein the cling material is connected to a portion of the sheet of material so that at least a portion of the cling material extends beyond the outer peripheral surface of the sheet of material.
- 18. The method of claim 14 further comprising a plurality of cling materials, each cling material having a portion connected to a portion of the sheet of material.
- 19. The method of claim 14 wherein one of the cling materials is secured to at least a portion of the upper surface of the sheet of material.
- 20. The method of claim 14 wherein one of the cling materials is secured to at least a portion of the lower surface of the sheet of material.
- 21. The method of claim 14 wherein one of the cling materials is secured to at least a portion of the upper surface of the sheet of material and one other cling material is secured to at least a portion of the lower surface of the sheet of material.
- 22. The method of claim 14 wherein the cling material comprises a thickness in a range of less than about 0.2 mils to about 10 mils.
- 23. The method of claim 14 wherein the cling material comprises a thickness in a range of less than about 0.6 mils to about 2 mils.
- 24. The method of claim 14 wherein the sheet of material comprises a thickness of a range of less than about 0.2 mils to about 10 mils.
- 25. The method of claim 14 wherein the sheet of material comprises a thickness in a range of less than about 0.5 mils to about 2.5 mils.
