140717I love this idea! Last year, at the bazaar I sold at, TP was the very first thing I sold out of. It went to dad/grandpa//uncle gifts. :) The kids loved it!

11700Sue, I have done many of these for people and for bazaar last year. They make such a novel present. I find RW does well, although some patterns that I thought were too heavy worked fine.. There is a design with a butler holding the TP on plate, that was a freebie from a site I don't remember as it was 2 years ago, that really gets a laugh. Have fun!
90365928Very pretty!!! I have a couple I have done in my bathroom. They are certainly a novelty item, lol!

173580What stabilizer do you use for this? I'm curious on how to hoop it without destroying the TP. I have a sister who has "everything she needs" and is hard to buy for or make anything for. This would be something she definitely doesn't have. Lol

I find that a light cutaway or a heavy tearaway stabilizer works just fine. Just be sure to trim it even with the edges of the TP when it is done, so it blends beautifully.

I used my usual tear-away. Fold the end sheet of the roll under and then repeat so that you have a neat triple thickness and pin that to the stabiliser to keep it still. I removed the pins once the stitching was well on the way beacause this design comes quite close to the edges. Trim the stabiliser awy level with the tp.

360437This is so fun...pretty TP! Now you'll have us all searching through our similar files!
9536looks great, but I also always wonder is it for decoration only, and what if people use it when you have it in the toilet? Somehow I prefer a kind of decoration around the roll you can keep, and place the toiletpaper inside. But you did a lovely job!

just put the design on felt strip and cut to size to go around tt and add a piece of sticky. Then wrap around your roll of tt. They are called tt wrappers.
740340I have to ask and I don't mean to be rude in any way but what is the story behind stitching on tp? Is it meant to be something decorative that sits in the bathroom or do people remove the outer layer and use the rest? I've never heard it explained....thanks!

They are a silly gift for the person who has everything! They are so quick to do that you can conjure one up for any occasion.
