Abstract

A flower pot cover consisting of a base (12) and a skirt (14). The base has an upper end (46) and a lower end (48) with a pot opening (52) being formed through the upper end of the base providing access to a pot receiving space (54). The skirt is connected to the upper end of the base and the skirt extends a distance outwardly from the base terminating with an outer periphery. A bonding material is disposed on the skirt or the base or both. A flower pot (44) is disposed in the pot receiving space and the portion of the skirt and/or the base having the bonding material thereon is crimped to provide a crimped portion (56) for cooperating to maintain the flower pot cover connected to the flower pot. <IMAGE>
