Toilet Paper Just Got Crafty, Thanks to Beci Orpin

Everything  Beci Orpin  touches turns into rainbow—even the humble toilet roll. The illustrator, author and  Arro  art director has teamed up with  Who Gives A Crap , a socially conscious toilet paper company run by Melbourne guys Simon Griffiths, Danny Alexander, and Jehan Ratnatunga. The limited edition collaboration, released September 1, is as easy on the eye as it is soft on the behind.

Beci has designed four candy-colored toilet roll wrappers that you’ll want to display in your bathroom. A fifth wrapper features instructions on how to turn the designs into craft projects—a hanging mobile, fortune teller, glasses, party ball ornaments and an envelope.

Not only does Who Gives A Crap add a layer of creativity to a previously utilitarian product, the sustainable venture also gives back to third world communities. Who Gives A Crap contributes 50% of all their profits to building toilets in the developing world. “I started Who Gives A Crap because 2.5 billion people don’t have access to a clean toilet,” Simon tells The Creators Project. “That’s roughly 40% of the global population, and it means that diarrhea related diseases fill over half of sub-Saharan African hospital beds and kill 1,400 children under five-years-old every day.”

The Beci Orpin rolls are available exclusively at  Who Gives A Crap .
