Embroidery on Toilet Paper
 

I needed to come up with an idea for 15 gifts for new coworkers. I found a tutorial on how to embroider on toilet paper and decided to give it a try, using a design that could be stitched out in 3 colors or less. I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed with the results! I stitched it out on my Bernina Bernette Deco 600.

Very pretty. I have to admit, I'm not sure how I'd react if I received a gift of embroidered toilet paper. :)

What a hoot!!

Well, I guess I'm hoping the recipients will like it because it's both unique and kind of funny.

I embroidered toilet paper for friends and family several years ago and they thought it was unique and loved it!!!

very nicely done... love the emb design you chose. thanks for the link

I would use it for decoration and threaten anyone's life that would use it.

I would probably display it during the Christmas season and then take the first square off and put it in a frame and put it with all my other decorations for following years!

How wonderfully unique! I'd never thought it would be possible.

Okay I think my reaction was partially due to the fact that the embroidery is so pretty, I would feel that using the toilet paper would be an insult to you (the O.P.). However, if you embroidered pictures of a certain few those-who-shall-remain-nameless politicians, I would definitely use it and laugh while I did! :D

Who would have thought.. embroidery on toilet paper! Does this mean I have seen it all!?!

This is supposed to be for display purposes only, I don't know how much "life" you could get out of it but ideally you could put it in a basket with Christmas flora and people would "get" that it's for display only - hopefully - the ones to watch would be the guys.

What a hoot!!! The gift for someone who has it all. Thanks for sharing. I love it.

This is the first thing on my list "to do" tomorrow morning.! I love it.....what a hoot:):thumbup:

That is very clever and a great fun gift.

I made them before it a fun gift. I also have a Easter bunny that hold a roll toilet paper that I embroidery Happy Easter on it and wrap it with plastic wrap so it not use. It a hit at in my shop at Easter.

when I first read the thread, I thought using toilet paper as stabilizer when doing embroidery...and I thought, wow what a money saver that would be...and why not paper towel too for larger pieces...then I clicked and the pic appeared................say no more.....

It sure is pretty, but if I needed that roll and was in a jam, that embroidery would be gone. hehehehehehe

Lalaland, this makes a unique and wonderful gift and you're going to have some very happy co-workers. I'd be thrilled to receive this and I'd tell houseguests flat out DO NOT USE IT just in case.

Looks great! I've made them too, aren't they fun!

Oh I love it - just wish I had an embroidery machine.

I did this one year, but wrapped it in tulle and tied it with a pretty ribbon, just to make sure they knew it wasn't to be used.

My first ? is why would you want to do that? The piece is pretty but then what? IMHO, I'm not to sure about this.
Maybe a hand towel. Now that is something I can wrap may hands around!
peace

I did it because it was something unique and I think my coworkers will get a kick out of it. I think I'll take MimiBug's idea and wrapped them in tulle, I will also put a "for display only" tag on them.

Me too.....well certainly a unique idea...guaranteed if I put this in the bathroom it would get used for sure....could probably create havoc with the septic:). Thanks for sharing....

That is just the cutest thing in the world. Never would have thought it possible. My goodness. Who could use the paper and loose the overall look of thtat. I love it.

I love this ornament design! Could you tell me where you got it, please? TIA!

I also have done some of Toilet paper and most people thought it was Great!! I did take one roll to the quilting club I belong to so they could see it, well to my surprise a LOT of the ladies didn't say much at all as they still believe that toilet paper is still a very private thing. LOL!!

The design you chose is Great and fills the front really well.

A note to the ones that want to try this be sure to choose designs that are Not dense....outlines work Great!!
