Voila!

These are some of the embellished IKEA pillars. They look a lot better than $3.50 finds and were kind of fun to make. I just finished the biggest one tonight. In order of decreasing size, they're decked out with a vintage pear garland image, Debussy sheet music, an antique dictionary page scan, and the first paragraph of a German fairy tale (from a book I bought in a Castle's bookshop).

The picture's kind of askew because I snapped it quickly on my cellphone.

I followed this tutorial:

To pick our images, M & I scanned a page out of one of my German fairytale books, picked a couple images online we liked, and printed a page of sheet music I'd downloaded from a free source online.

It was a fun arts & crafts evening, and very easy.
