INTRODUCTION

Several years ago while dining out, I made my usual tripto check out the restroom. At the time, I was researching formy book, Skip to the Loo! Writing a book about restrooms hadme conditioned to visit every lavatory in my travelswhethernature was calling or not. Always checking for the details, Iwas charmed at this particular inn by a fancy-folded auxiliaryroll of toilet paper. Perched sideways on the toilet tank, it wasan assembly of pleats in a little pocket. It looked very regaland it touched me that the housekeeper had taken the time tospruce up such an amenity. I had seen cloth napkins and bathtowels folded decoratively before, but never a toilet papertreatment other than the point commonly seen at hotels. I torethe end off, and tucked it in my purse to study later at home.

Once I dissected and mastered that design, I began toexplore more possibilities, and once I started, I couldnt stop. Ihave always enjoyed creating with textiles, and I found thattoilet paper handled in a similar manner to fabric. With myintrigue piqued for this ever-so-humble and easy-accessmedium, my husband tolerated toilet paper all over the housefor months while I folded up a storm whenever I got aninspiration. There was something about the quirkiness of thecraft that I loved, but I also found it to be quite cuteand insome cases, even beautiful.

As the name implies, toilet paper origami is the decorativefolding of toilet paper. It can be done to paper that is still onthe roll, or to sections that have been torn off. No priororigami experience is needed, and no origami lingo is used inthis book. Most of the designs in my collection are quite easy

and very forgiving. Approximate measurements for thedepth of folds are given at times, but by no means is the use ofa ruler expected. Toilet paper origami is meant to be foldedquickly. As a gauge, it is helpful to know that one square, orsheet of toilet paper between perforations, measures 4 inchesin the lengthwise direction. It is also helpful to know that toiletpaper squares are not perfectly square. For the most part, allthat is required is a roll of toilet paper, though several stylesuse simple extra supplies. Any type of toilet paper will do, butyou are bound to develop favorites. To learn about mypreferences, visit my website at www.tporigami.com.

As you fold, always look to the next photo. It will helpyou understand where you are going. Keep in mind that eachinstructional photograph has its corresponding text directlybelow the photo. I recommend setting your e-readers text sizeso that all text remains on the same page with its photo. Ifyour device has the capacity to display two pages at once, thatcan be beneficial.

Once you learn the basics of toilet paper origami, you canexperiment by mixing and matching components: for example,put real flowers or a fan in the flower pot, or make a stickerfor the bunnys face. For more of my designs, see the sequelto this book, Toilet Paper Origami On a Roll. Above all, bringyour sense of humor to the table, because, after all, this istoilet paper youre folding! Like the napkins my son folds eachThanksgiving to look like chickens, toilet paper origami ismeant to be admiredand then used.

Whether you are in the hospitality business or a hostesswith the mostess, toilet paper origami is guaranteed to make amemorable impression. Happy foldingand may you be flushwith success!

A classic symbol of hospitality, the point is widely usedat hotels to communicate that the bathroom has beencleaned. This simple fold is a building block for many

other designs.

3. Stack the pleats and place them on top of the roll.

which parallel folds of equal width are made in themanner of an accordion.

NATURES VASE

This easy design creates a vessel to fill with flowers orfoliagereal or silk. Using an aromatic herb such as

lavender provides the bonus of fragrance.
