Abstract: The present invention pertains to an improved method for rapidly forming a decorative container for use as a covering for a similarly shaped object, which method comprises:(a) providing a thin sheet of metallized thermoplastic heat shrinkage polymer material;(b) optionally imprinting a design or other matter upon the sheet of polymer;(c) optionally cutting said sheet to the dimensions approximating the dimensions of the base and side walls of said object;(d) placing the sheet over a heated form having a temperature of between about 80.degree. and 110.degree. C.(e) placing a complementary heated form also having a temperature of between about 80.degree. and 110.degree. C.(f) fitting the heated forms of substep (d) and (e) together having the thermoplastic sheet therebetween;(g) maintaining the temperature of between about 80.degree. and 100.degree. C.
