Very Clever. Would you mind sharing the technique? The wrapping and bows really set them off!

Ravyn made a toilet paper embroidery beginning of January. In the Community section she explained the technique. It's down a number of pages. To save you time looking I copied it for you. This is what she wrote:
It really IS quite easy & fun - instructions may sound a bit complicated but once you DO it, you'll see how simple it is! Here's one link - if you google "embroidery on toilet paper", you'll find alot more. But basically, you just unroll a section of paper, (do NOT remove it from the roll) you'll be stitching on the 5th or 6th square from the end. Fold the loose end over so you've got 2 thicknesses on the block you're stitching, with some excess on either side (for hooping purposes) I used some lightweight cutaway, gave it a squirt of temporary adhesive & put my TP on it. Then just carefully hoop it, keeping your TP centered in place so the design will be in the middle of the paper. I imagine other stabilizer could be used instead of the cutaway if you wished. One tip - make sure you're stitching on the right side of the paper! In other words, when you go to roll it back onto the roll, that your design in on the outer side, not inside! (Ask me how I know this one...LOL!) Just make sure you've got some excess unrolled when you set the whole roll next to your machine, so that it doesn't get pulled around & torn when you're sewing. Once your design is stitched, I trimmed away some of the extra cutaway, then rolled it back onto the roll. Took a tiny dab of glue-stick to hold it in place so it wouldn't just fall unrolled so easily, but that was just my choice. Wrapped it up in some tulle & tied a ribbon on it. Cellophane gift bags work well too. I'm not good at giving directions, but I hope this helps a bit! It truly is very easy & fun to do!

did you make all the words and picture in one design or are they all done separate and would they all go in the 4 x 4 hoop together. I would love to give one of these to my police friends here in Australia. She is an officer in charge of Crime Prevention. I havent got the software to put it together myself at the moment, but I would love to have the design.

I Thought this was so cute.. wish you would have thrown in the instructions with it. Maybe you could repost it and give the directions if you wouldn't mind sharing with us who are interested...
Did you have to roll off enough to where you could embroidery on the paper when it was thick enough?

One of the funniest gifts I've seen. Perfect gift for all the law enforcement people on our lists. I'd give you extra flowers if I could. *smiles*

This embroidering on Toilet Paper has really got me baffled! It seems too flimsy tpo embroider......so how is it done? I really, really would like to know, as I have people in my life (like I'm sure everyone does) that has everything already so gift giving is difficult. I would bet money however, they DON'T have any embroidered T.P. in their homes....yet - LOL!

Thank you for the link!
Is the one that says Sherriff's Department different? I thought they were both together. Could I possibly get the link to that one?
