Can anyone give me ideas or suggestion for decorating the poles in my basement. We are going with a woodsy, deer theme. I've heard that people have covered them with old trees but not sure how its done. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I thought that the traditional Festivus Pole was to be unadorned...

Thanks.... Yes, there is a bar down there. After taking on a project like finishing a basement, we'll definitely need it!

Try hobby lobby. They sell this stuff that is used to decorate model train set ups. You can get bark and moss and leaves, all sorts of styff. You ay also be able to use some of that stuff that goes in the planter of a fake tree. That or try some mohogney paint. Good luck and post pics when its done

An idea might be to cover it with a wooden column and paint a landscape mural on all 4 sides. Have trees and deer, birds flying in the sky and perhaps a stream with a deer drinking kinda thing. sounds like it will be a great room to spend time in.

In many, many years I have lived here, all the cats also use it for clawing and never use my furniture. 
Be warned though, when you start wrapping it, row after row...real close together...you will find it takes alot more rope than you think!
