Gift Wrapping Material and Method

Abstract

Gift Wrapping Material and Method providing a paper-like material in sheet form having a design on at least one side of the material, having a means of separating the material such as perforations arranged in a pattern or grid, and having an adhesive means such as tape or glue arranged along the potential new edges created by separating the material, producing a gift wrapping material that may be used without tools or supplies in order to wrap gifts of a wide variety of sizes and shapes, and may be easily reused on other gifts of equal or smaller size.

1 . A gift wrapping material comprising:
 a paper-like material in sheet form, said sheet having edges and having an obverse face and a reverse face;   a decorative design on said obverse face;   at least one line of easy separation potentially dividing said material; and   strips of potential adhesion arranged on said reverse face along said edges and along said lines of easy separation.   
   
   
       2 . The gift wrapping material of  claim 1 , wherein said paper-like material is paper. 
   
   
       3 . The gift wrapping material of  claim 1 , wherein said lines of separation are formed by perforating said sheet. 
   
   
       4 . The gift wrapping material of  claim 1 , wherein said strips of potential adhesion are further comprised of adhesive tape. 
   
   
       5 . The gift wrapping material of  claim 1 , wherein said strips of potential adhesion are further comprised of an applied adhesive. 
   
   
       6 . The gift wrapping material of  claim 1 , wherein said lines of easy separation form a grid. 
   
   
       7 . The gift wrapping material of  claim 1 , wherein said lines of easy separation are arranged so that increments of approximately ten percent of said sheet's initial length or width may be separated at a given said line of easy separation. 
   
   
       8 . The gift wrapping material of  claim 1 , wherein said decorative design is chosen from a list comprising paisley, circles, lines, flowers, plants, trees, geometric patterns, natural patterns, holiday symbols, religious symbols, sporting symbols, cultural symbols, musical symbols, and abstract designs. 
   
   
       9 . A gift wrapping material comprising:
 a paper-like material in sheet form, said sheet having edges and having an obverse face and a reverse face;   a decorative design on said obverse face;   at least one line of a means of easy separation potentially dividing said material; and   strips of means of potential adhesion arranged on said reverse face along said edges and along said lines of means of easy separation.   
   
   
       10 . A method of wrapping gifts comprising:
 providing a paper-like material in sheet form, said sheet having edges and having an obverse face and a reverse face;   providing a decorative design on said obverse face;   providing at least one line of easy separation potentially dividing said material; and   providing strips of potential adhesion arranged on said reverse face along said edges and along said lines of easy separation.   
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said paper-like material is paper. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said lines of separation are formed by perforating said sheet. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said strips of potential adhesion are further comprised of adhesive tape. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said strips of potential adhesion are further comprised of an applied adhesive. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said lines of easy separation form a grid. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said lines of easy separation are arranged so that increments of approximately ten percent of said sheet's initial length or width may be separated at a given said line of easy separation. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein said decorative design is chosen from a list comprising paisley, circles, lines, flowers, plants, trees, geometric patterns, natural patterns, holiday symbols, religious symbols, sporting symbols, cultural symbols, musical symbols, and abstract designs.
