[0016] [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0017] <Explanation of the composition of Sheet 1> As shown in FIG. 1(A), the sheet 1 according to the present invention is for creating a bouquet 10 of flowers or a flower-like object, and is made of a flexible material with a substantially rectangular shape. In this embodiment, the sheet 1 is made of a PET material. Therefore, the sheet 1 has water-resistant properties. In addition, the bouquet 10 created using the sheet 1 is less likely to lose its shape due to transportation or aging, and is suitable for long-term storage.

[0018] In the sheet 1, flattened, generally elliptical cutouts 2 are formed near the center of the short side at generally equal intervals in the horizontal direction of the long side. As shown in Fig. 1(A), the cutouts 2 have undulating portions that slightly undulate in the outward direction of the ellipse at the locations corresponding to the short axes of the ellipse. As will be described later, as shown in Fig. 1(B), the sheet 1 is used by rolling it into a cylindrical shape and tying (squeezing) the locations corresponding to the short axes of the cutouts 2 with a cable tie (see Fig. 5(A)). Since the cutouts 2 have undulating portions, it is easy to form a neat constriction when squeezed.

[0019] Furthermore, a fold line 3 (double ruled) is provided horizontally on the lower end of the short side of the sheet 1 for folding the long side to form a double portion when creating the bouquet 10. When creating the bouquet 10, the long side is folded along the fold line 3 to form a double portion on the lower end side of the sheet. This provides the effect of stabilizing the shape of the bouquet 10 when the completed bouquet 10 is placed on a desk or the like, and preventing it from collapsing.

[0020] <Explanation of bouquet 10 using sheet 1 and how to create the bouquet> Next, a bouquet 10 using the sheet 1 and a method for making the bouquet will be described.

[0021] First, double-sided tape is applied along fold line 3 of sheet 1, below fold line 3 (Fig. 2(A)). Then, the long side is folded along fold line 3, forming a double layer at the bottom end of the sheet (Fig. 2(B)).

[0022] Next, the sheet 1 is overlapped with fabric 4, which has the same shape as the sheet 1 but whose long and short sides are slightly longer than those of the sheet 1 (Figs. 3(A) and (B)). Then, the four corners of the fabric 4 are cut at an angle of about 45 degrees to the fabric, and the long and short sides of the fabric 4, to which the double-sided tape is attached, are folded toward the sheet 1, thereby bonding the sheet 1 and the fabric 4 together (Fig. 3(C)).

[0023] Next, the sheet 1 is rolled into a cylindrical shape, and the short sides of the fabric 4 are adhered together with a fabric adhesive (e.g., glue), thereby fixing the sheet 1 in the cylindrical shape (FIG. 4(A)).

[0024] A rolled cushioning material 5 (e.g., air bubble cushioning material) is placed inside the cylindrical sheet 1 (FIG. 4(B)). The size of the cushioning material 5 is preferably such that, when placed inside the cylindrical sheet 1, the upper end of the cushioning material 5 reaches a position slightly higher than the undulating portion of the cutout portion 2.

[0025] The cylindrical sheet 1 is then tied (squeezed) with a cable tie at a position corresponding to the undulating portion of the cutout portion 2, forming a constriction at that position (FIG. 5(A)). This fixes the cushioning material 5 contained inside the sheet 1 inside, and prevents or inhibits the cushioning material 5 from falling out from the bottom side.

[0026] Next, a flower or a flower-like object is placed on or in the cushioning material 5, and is thereby contained inside the sheet 1.

[0027] Here, the fabric 4 is decorated with accessories, ribbons, etc. to form a bouquet 10 that gives a gorgeous impression. In this embodiment, the upper end portion of the fabric 4 is decorated with accessories, and a ribbon is wrapped around the cable tie (FIG. 5(B)).

[0028] The seat configuration and the bouquet making method in this embodiment are merely examples, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to these. The seat configuration and the bouquet making method can be appropriately changed in design without changing the gist of the present invention.

[0029] To summarise, Sheet 1 is: A sheet 1 for creating a bouquet 10 of flowers or a flower-like object, It is made of a flexible material (e.g., PET material) having a substantially rectangular shape, Near the center of the short side, flattened, approximately elliptical cutout portions 2 are formed at approximately equal intervals in the horizontal direction of the long side.

[0030] The sheet 1 may have a fold line 3 formed horizontally along the long side at the lower end of the short side for folding the long side to form a double portion when making a bouquet.

[0031] According to the sheet of this embodiment, a bouquet can be made freely and simply to suit one's taste, and the bouquet will not lose its shape for a long period of time.

[0032] [Other embodiments] In the above embodiment, an example of a sheet made of a PET material is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0033] The sheet may be made of any flexible material that can be rolled up, such as plastic, biomass plastic, or biodegradable plastic, as well as paper, aluminum, or rubber.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the cutout portion of the sheet has a flattened, generally elliptical shape, and the undulating portion is formed at the location corresponding to the minor axis of the ellipse. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0035] For example, the cutout portion may be substantially elliptical in shape with no undulations formed at the location corresponding to the minor axis of the ellipse.

[0036] Furthermore, the shape of the cutout portion is not limited to a flattened, generally elliptical shape, but may be a polygonal shape such as a rectangular shape or a hexagonal shape.

[0037] In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which a fold line is provided horizontally along the long side at the lower end of the short side of the sheet for folding the long side to form a double portion when creating a bouquet, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0038] For example, the sheet does not need to have a fold line. In this case, since there is no double portion formed at the bottom end of the sheet, the finished bouquet will be less stable when placed on a desk or the like than when a fold line is formed, but the object of the present invention, that is, the bouquet can be freely made according to one's preference using a simple method and the bouquet will not easily lose its shape for a long time, can be achieved. [Industrial Applicability]

[0039] The sheet of the present invention is suitable for creating bouquets in a simple manner according to one's preferences, and for creating bouquets that will not lose their shape for a long period of time. [Explanation of symbols]
