Abstract

A flower pot cover constructed of a thermosplastic material for providing a decorative cover for an item, such as a floral grouping. The flower pot cover (10) comprises a base portion (16) and a skirt portion (30). The base portion (16) has an upper end (20) and a lower end (22), a bottom (32) having a first thickness and a continuous sidewall (24) extending generally between the upper and lower ends of the base portion (16). The skirt portion (30) is positioned circumferentially about the upper end (20) of the base portion (16) and extends a distance therefrom. The skirt portion (30) is substantially flexible and has a third thickness which is less than the first thickness of the bottom (32) of the base portion (16). The base portion (16) and the skirt portion (30) cooperate to provide the flower pot cover (10) with a shape sustaining configuration.
