Inside: Embroidered toilet paper ideas you’ll never actually want to use.
Yep, you read that title correctly…and it is not clickbait. Today we are going to talk about toilet paper embroidery, in all its cotton glory.
Not only is this a very real thing, but it’s also a very popular thing as well. At least among the gag gift circuits.

Did you know that you can embroider onto toilet paper? Yeah, I wasn’t expecting it either. But you totally can! This really opens a lot of doors for me when I want to craft but am on a budget.

They often come with hilarious bathroom puns that just add to this odd creation.
Some funny puns to include:

- Why should you use good-quality toilet paper? They will make you Sparkle.
- Where does the Terminator look for their toilet paper? Aisle B, Back.
- How does toilet paper deal in difficult situations? They just roll with it.
- Which relaxing place do I like to go to after lunch? To the toilet.
- What happens when you need to use a toilet but there aren’t any around you? Urine great trouble.
- I need WiFi…What’s Your I Pee Address?

How to Embroider On Toilet Paper
To do this, you will probably have better luck with your embroidery machine rather than with your hands. The whole thing is a pretty simple and straightforward process but there are some key things to keep in mind to help make your project go smoothly.
Step One: Set Your Hoop
First things first, you are going to want to prepare your hoop for your design.
Step Two: Layer Your TP
In order for this to work, you are going to want a heavy ply toilet paper to work with. Then you are going to get rid of the first square. Next, you’re going to want to fold the next square over another, creating a thicker double sheet.
Pin this into your hoop.
Step Three: Embroider
Next, you input your design into your machine, and once your hoop is securely in place, you can begin embroidering like you normally would. When it’s done, carefully cut off any jump stitching that may have happened. Then you can lay the embroidered piece back into place like it never left. Voila! You have now created you’re very own Toilet Paper Embroidery.
