Process for forming a paper, burlap or cloth flower pot cover
First Claim
1. A method for making a flower pot cover having an outer peripheral surface comprising:
- placing a first sheet of material comprising a non-shape sustaining material selected from a group consisting of a natural or synthetic burlap or combination thereof, a natural or synthetic fiber or combination thereof, or paper over a second sheet of material selected form the group of materials consisting of a man-made processed organic polymer film or cellophane or combination thereof;
forming the first and the second sheets of material simultaneously into a predetermined shape of the flower pot cover with the first sheet of material forming the outer peripheral surface of the flower pot cover by forming overlapping folds in the first and the second sheets of material, the overlapping folds in the second sheet of material being interleaved with the overlapping folds in the first sheet and material for cooperating to connect the second sheet of material tot he fist sheet of material and the overlapping folds in the second sheet of material cooperating to maintaining the first and the second sheets of material in the predetermined shape of the flower pot cover, andapplying means, either before, during or after the forming of the first and the second sheets of material, to at least one of the first and second sheets of material whereby portions of the overlapping folds of the second sheet of material which contact other portions of the second sheet of material are substantially connected.

11. A method for making a flower pot cover, comprising:
-
treating a first sheet of material selected from a group of materials comprising a non-shape sustaining natural or synthetic or burlap or combination thereof, a non-shape sustaining natural or synthetic fiber or combinations thereof, or paper with a shape-sustaining agent capable of imparting a dead fold characteristic to the firs sheet of material whereby the first sheet of material is capable of being formed into a predetermined shape of the flower pot cover by forming a plurality of overlapping folds in the first sheet of material wherein the overlapping folds cooperate to provide the structural integrity for cooperating to hold the first sheet of material in the predetermined shape of the flower pot cover; and forming the first sheet of material into a predetermined shape of the flower pot cover by forming overlapping folds int he first sheet of material, the overlapping folds in the first sheet of material cooperating to maintain the first sheet of material int he predetermined shape of the flower pot cover.
