Toilet Paper Origami, on a Roll

Promising review: “This is a delightful and fun book. If you’ve ever been to someone’s home where their toilet paper is embellished, you would be thinking “how do they do that?’ This is a fun, inexpensive way to spend some time relaxing and learning toilet paper origami. Who knew? My daughter and granddaughters love it as a craft. Don’t bash it ’til you’ve tried it! You can even leave cute rolls of spare tissue around the bathroom.” —Kindle Customer BGCW
