But not just any kind of paper... Hawaii's Ann Kagawa Lee took top honors for designing and entering this incredible
wedding dress in the 2009 Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com Toilet Paper Wedding Dress
Believe it or not, the gown was made entirely of bathroom tissue, tape, and glue! Ann, who retired in 2008 from a career as an attorney, turned to
Japanese origami techniques to create stunning detail on a Gone with the Wind-inspired dress and hat.
It was only the second time she had entered the contest, having taken third place in 2008. Ann, who designs and sews clothes as a hobby, entered the contest on a whim after she enjoyed making a spur-of-the-moment toilet
paper dress at a bridal shower.
If you're feeling incredibly creative, entries for this year's contest are being accepted until May 15. Rules and information about the prizes can be found .
The winning dresses are displayed at Ripley's Believe It or Not Museums around the world.
