Claim 2

A method of wrapping a vase having a floral grouping disposed therein, comprising: providing a vase having an upper end, a lower end, an outer surface, and an inner surface which defines and encompasses an inner space, the inner space accessible via an opening in the upper end, wherein a portion of a floral grouping having an upper end is disposed within the inner space of the vase, the upper end of the floral grouping extending a distance from the upper end of the vase; providing a sheet of material having a first side, a second side, an upper end, a lower end, an inner surface and an outer surface, the sheet of material further comprising a connecting bonding material disposed upon a portion of the inner surface for connecting to the outer surface of the vase and a closure bonding material also disposed upon a portion of the inner surface of the sheet of material for effecting a sealed area; disposing the vase with the floral grouping disposed therein adjacent the inner surface of the sheet of material wherein a portion of the connecting bonding material is positioned in close proximity to a portion of the outer surface of the vase and wherein the closure bonding material is positioned a distance above the upper end portion of the floral grouping; wrapping the sheet of material about an upper portion of the vase wherein the connecting bonding material causes the sheet of material to be connected to a portion of the upper portion of the vase and wherein the upper end of the floral grouping is completely encompassed and surrounded by the sheet of material such that the upper end of the sheet of material extends a distance above the upper end of the floral grouping; and sealing the upper end of the sheet of material by crimping together portions of the sheet of material having the closure bonding material disposed thereon forming a floral containing space within which is contained the portion of the floral grouping extending from the upper end of the vase.
