How to decorate the end of the toilet paper roll.
Almost every hotel in the world does something to the end of the toilet paper roll to let the guest know that the bathroom has been cleaned. The most common thing to do is to fold a simple point by folding under the end twice. In higher end hotels in a bid to make the guests feel pampered and cared for the fold on the end of the toilet paper roll gets more elaborate.
I got bored one day and decided to come up with some new toilet paper folding designs for the hotels of the world. I really think hotel housekeeping needs to switch folds every day. This is a form of entertainment. Most people don't like to watch the same show over and over, so why give them the same toilet paper fold over and over. Besides it's boring to do the same toilet paper fold repeatedly. Have some fun with it.
If you are planning to use these in your hotel, it's a good idea to leave one roll of toilet paper with the simple point fold in the bathroom. Judging by comments I've seen on the internet, people tend to feel bad destroying the fancier origami. There's also a segment who really don't like other people touching their toilet paper before they use it.
