How to embroider on toilet paper

This article is brought to you by Lizzsews.

Here’s how you can embroider on toilet paper! This is a super fun project and makes the best gag gifts!

What you will need:

Toilet paper roll (If you can, use a larger toilet paper as this will give more room for your embroidery design!)
Pins
Cut away stabilizer
Embroidery machine
Machine embroidery needle
Machine embroidery thread
60wt or 90wt bobbin thread (depending on your machine)

The steps:

1. Take the first few squares of toilet paper off of the roll.

2. Hoop your cutaway stabilizer.

3. Fold over the first piece on the roll three times, making sure that the folds are underneath themselves.

This makes sure that the folds are on the backside.

4. Pin the toilet paper to the cutaway stabilizer, this part is quite difficult, so just take your time and be careful not to rip the toilet paper.

Before embroidering, make sure to preview that the pattern will only embroider on the toilet paper square.

5. Stitch out the design.

Recommended design: Drop it like its hot

6. Unpin the toilet paper take it out of the hoop, cut the cutaway stabilizer to fit behind the toilet paper square without showing.

Optional: use a little piece of tape to tape the square to the one behind it. This will just keep it looking like a new toilet paper roll (with embroidery) and will keep the embroidered square from falling down!

You’re done! I hope that this gag gift will bring many giggles to you and your friends or family!
