An apparatus and method for fabricating floral displays, and other products formed by layers of superposed materials such as pouch or pocket type packages has a base member (11) with an opening (17) therethrough in communication with a receiving space (16) below the base member and at least one or more plate members (26, 27, 28, 29 and 30) with openings (31) 32, 33, 34 and 35) therein serially and pivotably connected to the base member so they can be pivoted from an open or disengaged position to a closed or engaged position superposed over the base member and/or another of the plate members to bring the openings therein into alignment with one another and with the opening in the base member to permit layers of material to be positioned on the base and between each of the given number of plates, and a plunger tube (81) is used to depress and move the layers of material so they gather or pinch inwardly into the area about the respective openings to form a centrally disposed depressed section, pouch or pocket for selectively and electively receiving random items therein, spaced clips (49 and 50) connected to the base (11) on opposite sides of the opening (17) are used to hold a closure member such as a ribbon (R) for tying the layers of material about the centrally disposed section and to permit the fabricated floral display, pouch or pocket type package or other layered product to be removed from the receiving space below the base member. The apparatus and method as above described wherein the base member (11) is adapted for detachable connection with at least one of a plurality of adapters (124) each respectively having openings of different diameter or a single adapter (220) with a variable opening (122) thereon, and operatively associated plate members (125) with sized openings for operative association with a given adapter.
