Best laid plans and all that jazz...

 It was a great idea.

It really was.

And thrifty to boot.

I have these ugly pillars in one of the clubrooms that I wanted to do something to.

I thought I'd masquerade one as a tree, it would brighten up the whole room.

 So I bought old sheets at the thrift shop, dyed and ripped.

 

And braided...

..and braided.. 

Wound the braids around the pillar and discovered I'd need more.. OK. Once I had a bit of time.

 Or maybe not.

huh.

These little 1st grade monkeys really thought climbing up the tree trunk was an option.

 It's all falling down.

I'll be taking it off on Monday.

Hmmpphh..

Any ideas for endless coils of braid?
