Method for covering a flower pot and floral grouping

Abstract

A method of covering a flower pot with a floral grouping disposed therein. In the method, a sheet of material with a sheet extension connected to the outer peripheral edge of the sheet of material and extending a distance therefrom is formed about the flower pot to a position wherein the sheet of material extends about substantially the entire outer peripheral surface of the flower pot to provide a decorative covering and the sheet extension is formed about the floral grouping to a position wherein the sheet extension extends about a portion of the floral grouping to provide a protective covering. A portion of the sheet of material is then crimped to form a crimped portion in the sheet of material.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method for providing a decorative covering, comprising: 
 providing a cover having an upper end, a lower end, an outer peripheral surface and a pot opening formed through the upper end of the cover providing access to a pot receiving space, an adhesive or cohesive bonding material being disposed on the cover;    providing a flower pot having an upper end, a lower end and an outer peripheral surface with a floral grouping being disposed in the flower pot;    disposing the flower pot in the pot receiving space of the cover; and    securing the cover about the pot by using the adhesive or cohesive bonding material on the cover.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein in the step of providing the cover, the cover has the adhesive or cohesive bonding material disposed on an inner peripheral surface thereof.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein in the step of providing the cover, the cover has the adhesive or cohesive bonding material disposed on the outer peripheral surface thereof.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein in the step of providing the cover, the cover is defined as comprising a skirt portion.  
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4  wherein in the step of providing the cover, the adhesive or cohesive bonding material is further defined as disposed on a portion of the skirt.  
     
     
         6 . A method for providing a decorative covering comprising: 
 providing a cover having an upper end, a lower end, an outer peripheral surface and a pot opening formed through the upper end of the lower portion providing access to a pot receiving space, an adhesive or cohesive bonding material being disposed on the cover, and the cover having an upper extension extending therefrom;    providing a flower pot having an upper end, a lower end and an outer peripheral surface with a floral grouping being disposed in the flower pot;    disposing the flower pot in the pot receiving space of the cover;    securing the cover about the pot by using the adhesive on the cover; and    forming the upper extension about a portion of the floral grouping to provide a protective covering.    
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  wherein the step of providing the cover, the cover has the adhesive or cohesive bonding material disposed on an inner peripheral surface thereof.  
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6  wherein the step of providing the cover, the cover has the adhesive or cohesive bonding material disposed on the outer peripheral surface thereof.  
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6  wherein in the step of providing the cover, the cover is defined further as comprising a skirt portion.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6  wherein in the step of providing the cover, the adhesive or cohesive bonding material is further defined as disposed on a portion of skirt.  
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 6  wherein the upper extension is further defined as detachable from the cover.
