Method of providing a decorative covering

Abstract

A decorative assembly for a floral grouping comprising a floral holding material and a sheet of material. The floral holding material is constructed of a material capable of receiving a portion of a floral grouping and supporting the floral grouping. The sheet of material is extended about a portion of the floral holding material and a crimped portion is formed in the sheet of material with the crimped portion cooperating to hold the sheet of material about the floral holding material to provide a decorative covering.

       3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein, in the step of providing the sheet of material, the sheet of material has a thickness in a range of from less than about 0.1 mil to about 30 mil.  
   
   
       4 . The method  claim 1  wherein, in the step of providing the sheet of material, the sheet of material is constructed of a non-shape sustaining material.  
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the sheet of material is secured about at least a portion of the floral holding material with a band, and wherein the band is selected from the group consisting of elastic bands, rubber bands, string, an elastic piece of material, a non-elastic piece of material, a round piece of material, a flat piece of material, a ribbon, a paper strip, a plastic strip, wire, tie wraps, twist ties, bows, and combinations thereof.  
   
   
       6 . A method for producing a floral assembly comprising the steps of: 
 providing a floral holding material capable of receiving and supporting the floral grouping without a pot;    providing a sheet of material;    disposing the sheet of material about at least a portion of the floral holding material to form a decorative cover; and    securing the decorative cover about at least a portion of the floral holding material with a band.

       8 . The method of  claim 7  wherein, in the step of providing the sheet of material, the sheet of material has a thickness in a range of from less than about 0.1 mil to about 30 mil.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 6  wherein, in the step of providing the sheet of material, the sheet of material is constructed of a non-shape sustaining material.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 6  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about at least a portion of the floral holding material with a band, the band is selected from the group consisting of elastic bands, rubber bands, string, an elastic piece of material, a non-elastic piece of material, a round piece of material, a flat piece of material, a ribbon, a paper strip, a plastic strip, wire, tie wraps, twist ties, bows, and combinations thereof.  
   
   
       11 . A method for producing a floral assembly, the method comprising the steps of: 
 providing a floral holding material capable of supporting a floral grouping without a pot;    providing the floral grouping;    disposing at least a portion of the floral grouping into the floral holding material;    providing a sheet of material;    disposing the sheet of material about at least a portion of the floral holding material; and    securing the sheet of material about at least a portion of the floral holding material with at least one of a band, an adhesive, cohesive bonding material, and combinations thereof.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein, in the step of providing the sheet of material, the sheet of material is constructed of a material selected from a group of materials consisting of paper, metal foil, natural cloth, synthetic cloth, denim, burlap, polymer film and combinations thereof.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 11  wherein, in the step of providing the sheet of material, the sheet of material has a thickness in a range of from less than about 0.1 mil to about 30 mil.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 11  wherein, in the step of providing the sheet of material, the sheet of material is constructed of a non-shape sustaining material.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 11  wherein, in the step of securing the sheet of material about at least a portion of the floral holding material with a band, the band is selected from the group consisting of elastic bands, rubber bands, string, an elastic piece of material, a non-elastic piece of material, a round piece of material, a flat piece of material, a ribbon, a paper strip, a plastic strip, wire, tie wraps, twist ties, bows, and combinations thereof.  
   
   
       16 . A method for producing a floral assembly comprising a floral holding material and a decorative covering, the method comprising the steps of: 
 providing a floral holding material constructed of a material capable of supporting a floral grouping without a pot;    providing a sheet of material;    disposing the sheet of material about at least a portion of the of the floral holding material; and,    disposing a band about the sheet of material in a position causing the sheet of material to engage the floral holding material for securing the sheet of material in a position extended about the floral holding material to provide a decorative covering.
