this is what we did in our embroidery club yesterday. wrapped some netting around it and tied with matching color ribbon. i could make it with a deer head on it for men. think i'll make up a few to sell, how much ya think i should ask for one?

What a cute idea :D:D:D

How cute! Don't know about the price but I'd not sell it for less than $5.... :D

This fall, one of the elementary school classrooms did his with orange fabric and a little bit of a silk flower and ribbon. They looked like fancy pumpkins. They made enough for every resident in the nursing home (about 85). The residents all loved them. :mrgreen:

OH my! That is so cool!!

that's funny, that's exactly what i was thinking - $5. it takes 3 pieces of stabilizer to do it. you have to hoop a cut away, slide a tear away under the hoop and a water soluble on top of the toilet tissue, it just tears off really easy - of course you wouldn't wet it. the toilet tissue is cheap at the dollar store, but the rest of it adds up. i'll probably just do some for gifts.

too cute.

Isn't that fun? I made a few and gave them away. Everone loved them!

That is so cute. What a creative idea.

I made one for a wedding!!! They Loved it....

Thanks Donna, I like yours too! I use med weight cutaway for mine and tuelle on top, do you?

I made several of them for the Christmas Craft Fair. Sold them for $10.00 each with no problem.

Please explain. Is it sewn onto the TP using stabilizer or onto a piece of netting around it?

I've seen them, but never had the nerve to make one

How is it that we get these ads at the end. Is everyone getting them? The one about belly fat annoyed me. I was not able to get to the end of it for the answer. Anyone else have a comment or an answer?

Not getting any ads on this end.. perhaps you have no pop up blocker? no clue why a belly fat ad would pop up however, check with admin .. he/she is a wiz. onto the toilet paper embroidery? these are just tied covers? do they lift off, you unwrap them to get it out and refill or its a permanent decoration? lost here..

I wanna doggy 1 :thumbup: And a fishy 1. :thumbup:
I have a doggy holding toilet paper in 1 bathroom and fishy
stuff in the other bathroom. :D

Cute idea!

it's a permanent decoration, you don't use this roll, just sit it out to look pretty. the embroidery is actually on the toilet paper, then the netting is gathered up around it and tied with a ribbon.
donna

it is embroidered directly onto the toilet paper.

yes used the cutaway also with a sheet of tear away slid underneath the hoop and a piece of watersoluble on top.

golly, if i could sell them for $10.00 each i'd take orders for special designs on them and make them all day.
donna

I would be afraid the guys would use them! :lol:

oh, surely not.

:roll:

how pretty.

Donna may have done her's differently, but this is how I made mine.

Hoop your stabilizer, unroll 3 sheets of TP and fold back. spray adhesive onto the stabilizer and place your TP on the center of the hoop.

I lay a piece of white tuell on top and stitch my design. Then when finished, I trim the tuell and re roll the TP and dab a bit of a glue stick to secure, then wrap in tuell with a ribbon.

Donna, is this how you do yours??

Dawn -- that sounds easy :lol: :lol:

almost, i hoop the cutaway stabilizer, slip piece of tearaway stabilizer under the hoop for extra stability, unroll 3 sheets of tp and fold back like you do, but i didn't spray with adhesive i just held it in middle till it started and it stayed. and instead of using a piece of tulle on top, i used a piece of that water soluble clear stabilizer, but didn't wet it when done, just tore it off. it just pops right off easily. then re-rolled and used spray adhesive to stick it back (anything would do, even double sided scotch tape). then wrapped and tied.
donna

Those are just wonderful! I would love to try and make these! Sounds like some next years Christmas gifts to me. Just hope I can do it!

What a really cute idea! Something I would have never thought of, but they are really nice.

Yes, they are easy too! The hardest part is not ripping the TP.

Donna this is to cute. I have never seen anything like this b/4 how di you do it: if I may ask Barbara

i hadn't either but several others have. go back on this thread and you can read how it's done - different ways.

OK, you two -- I have a question. Where is the tp at in reference to your machine while you're embroidering? Can't quite get it pictured in my little brain. :roll:

Thanks! :D

ok here's a pic, i'm not actually embroidering this at this time, i just laid a roll of toilet paper and took pic to show you where you place it.
donna

Thanks for the visual -- it really helps!! I just couldn't figure out where the heck the tp went :lol: :lol:

Thanks ladies for the info it was great. barb

Joyce, you crack me up! I set mine up so it doesn't roll off my table. LOL

Just mark it off as me being old :lol: :lol: I guess it doesn't really matter HOW you position the tp as long as your design is oriented to which way you have the paper.....duh! :lol: :lol: :lol:
