Make your toilet paper chic with origami

You know those fancy-shmancy hotels where everything is so sophisticated that they even took time to style the toilet paper?

It may seem like a total waste of time ('cause seriously, does anything think about visual aesthetics when they're wiping their butt?), but if you're the sort of person who likes a really classy bathroom, now you too can achieve the delicately crafted designs of origami toilet paper.

You can learn the standard triangle, the pleat, or even -- for the advanced origami artists among you -- the pleated-tuck.

In the event that you try this at home, please take photos and send us the link. I'd love to see how yours turn out.

This is actually great! I have worked many times in wealthy homes, and their rolls of toilet paper are always artfully folded by the staff. I do this to my own home when I clean the bathroom. Seriously, I think it makes the cleaning job look "finished." And, if it impresses me when I am wiping my own bum, that's all that's needed to be a definite keeper in my bathroom. Try it, you may like it!

I do orogami with toilet tissue every day! The holder won't accommodate the over stuffed rolls of paper the grocery stores are trying to get us to buy. I hate to tell you this guys, but Cheryl Crow says we should only use one tiny sheet at a sitting. Tell me, how does that slippery stuff feel on your fingers? Are you going back to the age when Sears Catalogs were used ---- like in the out-houses? UGH!
