ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of stretchable gift wrap provide for the wrapping of a portion of a regularly or irregularly shaped article to provide an attractive and closely fitting wrap therefor. The wrap is preferably formed of a finely woven, generally opaque elastic fabric material adapted to stretch to substantially twice its unstretched dimension in all directions, such as a spandex material, although other stretchable materials may be used. In one embodiment, a flat sheet with a pair of opposite elastic bands is provided, which may be stretched over a gift or article to cover the upper portion thereof. Another embodiment comprises a flat sheet with a peripheral closure band which is used to draw the wrap tightly about an article. A third embodiment comprises a sleeve of stretchable material, which may be open at one or both ends. The sleeve may be used to wrap elongate articles (wine bottles, etc.) therein, with the corners of the closed end of the sleeve being folded and gathered to form an attractive configuration. The stretchable material used in each of the embodiments may be gathered by drawing together two separate points on the material and securing them together, to form a loop. The loop may be used for the attachment of trim articles (bows, ribbons, etc.) to the wrapped article. The wrapping material may be plain, or may be styled or decorated in any one of a number of patterns, as desired.
