Wrapping big doilies

Now, the best part of crocheting gifts....giving them to loved ones!! Only, I'd need a mighty big box for this one....and I certainly don't want to fold it! Those are paper towel cardboards, well, one and a part of one, just enough to support the rolled doily all across its diameter.
I don't like to put the doily against the cardboard, so I first roll it once in tissue paper.
 Now, all those toothpicks have to come out.
 Carefully lay the doily on the tissue, making sure it's flat.
 Start rolling. It takes 3 sheets of tissue to completely cover and protect the doily. Keep rolling.
A little tape at the end, and it's ready for some pretty paper outside, a card, and giving!
