    Default Embroidery on Toilet Paper - My Gifts are Done!

    I needed 15 gifts for coworkers, 3 at each site, so the rolls on the bottom are the ones I'm giving at each site. I just put them in gift bags and my coworkers can choose a bag. The gals that received them today loved them, they thought they were funny and unique and showed them to everyone that walked into the office (I "round robin" at 5 school sites during the week, the gifts go to the principal, the secretary and the health clerk).

    I added rhinestone bling to all the rolls.

    The blue snowflakes roll is an extra, not sure what I'm going to do with that one. The frog is for a previous coworker who loves all things frog. I thought she'd get a kick out of it.

    I was kind of concerned about the frog, it's a denser design than the others, but the stabilizer held up, no problem.

    OMG these are just adorable. I have seen them two years ago and wanted to do some but I wasn't into embroidery much at the time. Now I am so ready and wanna make some sooooo bad. I remember seeing a tute on YouTube how to make them but haven't checked lately any suggestions where I can get instructions? Are these Kara creations designs?
    Oh and where in So Cal are you?

    go to emblibrary.com for tutorials under kennys corner. I always check there first when needing to make sure I know how to do something. Oregon Patch has companies on their site that sells designs. Just make sure designs aren't too dense and you'll be fine.
