ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for forming a decorative cover about an outer peripheral surface of a flower pot. The apparatus includes a frame assembly having a well formed therein, and a cover forming and banding assembly having a flower pot receiving opening sized and configured to receive at least a portion of a sheet of cover forming material and at least a lower portion of the flower pot. The platform is provided with an opening therein sized to permit passage of at least a portion of the flower pot and at least a portion of the sheet of cover forming material there through. The cover forming and banding assembly is supported within the well of the frame such that the flower pot receiving opening in the cover forming and banding assembly is aligned with the opening in the platform. The cover forming and banding assembly sports at least one band thereon such that upon forming the decorative cover about an outer peripheral surface of the flower pot by positioning the flower pot and at least a portion of the sheet of cover forming material within the pot receiving opening of the cover forming and banding assembly, the decorative cover so formed can be secured about the outer peripheral surface of the flower pot by removing at least one band from the cover forming and banding assembly and positioning the at least one band about the decorative cover.
