Lavenders_Blue Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Okay, I had a go at the cupcake last night. It was a bit of a disaster. I folded in all the right places but it just wouldn't stay put and kept coming unfolded. Is my loo paper too posh? Do I need some of that tracing paper stuff they have in schools? Hubby asked me if I was okay when I came out. I had been in there a while I didn't dare say I had been practising toilet paper origami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I am not lowering myself to purchase a book on loo roll folding! That is just a no no! There must be instructions on the web somewhere. I only want to learn one design as a joke , I do not want a whole book on bottom paper folding techniques!

The Dogmother Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I think it's a great stocking filler for anyone who's OH spends an inordinate amount of time in the bathroom. How long do you reckon it will be before one of us uses a public loo to find that the previous occupant has left a loo paper origami?

craftyhunnypie Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hmm probably on an Omlet meet! I think Lesley best watch out - I reckon Christian must be practising the folds - just to upset her on his next visit! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenNutter Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Oooh! I am a convert. First saw the folded triangle in Thailand on honeymoon in 1990, and occasionally come across it in hotels in this country, but no idea it was an artform! I am sitting here right now with a loo role trying the fan thingy and failing miserably. Think I need more wine, then try again. I have to have that loo role origami book. It's a must! And there is a towel version of this artform? My life has been so meaningless and empty up til now. How could I not know how fulfilling life could be sitting on the loo? Is the book divided into quick origami (if you are doing a no 1) and More complicated origami (for those no 2 moments?) I have found my calling in life.

Sheilaz Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Sheila (Teabag) called in today - I made the cupcake 'specially for her! I had to put it as a display because otherwise the paper would have been the wrong way round ... It was brilliant & much appreciated, thank you Lesley, I was really impressed. Teabag folding? Hands off, sounds dangerous! Actually, it's a fun. DD2 learnt this and downloaded some patterns. It's quite a satisfying craft activity, for a short while.

fluffyfeet Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 What a brilliant thread - OH knows I'm on the forum cos he can hear me roaring with laughter. Lesley - I'm with you on the 'flap down the back' and so is my mom! Was talking to a friend earlier who asked me to hang on whilst she wiped her bum!! Her daughter thrust the phone at her in the 'smallest room' and walked off - little tinker I'm feeling a little flushed now.......

Lesley Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 - glad to know Sheila and I are not the only ones who hang the roll properly. I have sad news - we had visitors on Sunday...........and someone renewed the toilet roll Despite there being a 4 pack on the cupboard, whoever it was decided to use my cupcake ........... and to add insult to injury...........they hung it with the paper over the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 wasn't me this time I'd be thankful that they'd hung it at all; I have some visitors who just leave the empty roll on the holder and the newly opened one on the window sill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
