Toilet paper wedding dresses

That dress is made from toilet paper and tape -- amazing!Looking for a way to keep your wedding cheap but still totally original? You might be able to save yourself a major expense by making your own dress...from toilet paper.

I know -- it sounds awful -- but check out these photos. The women featured in them created wedding dresses made completely of toilet paper, tape and glue. All of the dresses are surprisingly beautiful -- complete with origami roses, pleats and weaves.

If this is something you'd like to try, be sure to enter your design in the annual contest held by cheap-chic-weddings.com. The winner gets a $500 prize, and there's smaller prizes for runner-ups. Not too shabby for something you made for less than $20 in TP and masking tape.

Well I guess a wedding dress made out of toilet paper is ok if you are marrying some butt wipe kind of a guy.
