  Hi there,

I am wanting to create a striped pole that would be used in a Christmas build
as a "North Pole". I wanted to create the stripes angled rather than
straight and then possibly put a light brick in the top surrounded by transparent/translucent
blue bricks. However, I am struggling to create the stripes in a cube.

Can anyone recommend the best way to do this, or suggest which brick number(s)
I could use?

Many thanks!

The old macaroni bricks could be used staggered, so that might work, but it would
be rather large, much bigger than minifigure scale.

On a smaller scale, you could use one of these in white:
 
Part No: 43888  Name: Support 1 x 1 x 6 Solid Pillar
* 
43888 Support 1 x 1 x 6 Solid Pillar
Parts: Support

and wrap a long thin red sticker around it to create the candy cane effect. Or
use a red one and wrap a white sticker around it.
