Sandy's new hobby
One day I came home from work to find that Sandy, my six month old Siamese kitten, had ruined an entire case of Costco toilet paper. She'd pulled open the heavy-duty plastic wrap and then went to town demolishing the individual rolls. There was shredded plastic everywhere, and I did not find a single roll that escaped unscathed.
You're probably thinking, "Suck it up, Suz -- surely her tiny teeth and claws could only dig into the outer layers, so just unwrap the shredded layers and use what's left in the middle." Yes, this was my initial thought too. Unfortunately, all those tiny punctures function like those newfangled staplers that don't use staples, piercing a tab through each layer and securing it by tucking it between deeper layers. Unrolling one of these hassled rolls is totally impossible. It comes off in skinny shreds, useless for anything...
Or is it? Does anyone know a crafty thing I could do with bushels of shredded toilet paper?? I thought of the toilet paper casting that Nicole Landy wrote about in ARTitude Zine #5 but even that calls for complete sheets of tp... If you have any suggestions, please comment!
