Tee pee Tutorial!

Tee - Pee

Who doesn't want something to entertain your child for hours? 

I love being a mom and playing, however I love to watch.

Watch is the key word here, not do a dang thing.

So if you want a easy afternoon DIY this is your lucky day!

Head to your local home improvement store and get the following

2 - 1" x 2" x 96" moldings

1" - 3/4" x 48" dowel

You will need to cut your two 8' boards in half. Making them 4' long.

So you will have 4, 4' long pieces

Line up your boards and make a center mark 6" down.

Using a  3/4 spade bit (shown on the right hand picture below)

Drill a hole in each one. 

After your done lay them on top of each other to make sure your holes lines up.

After you have drilled your holes.

I chose to paint my posts and dowel a fun coral color.

Materials needed for the tent cover:

Sheet  or fabric 44" x 84"

Scissors

Elastic

Thread

Now for your tent, rummage through your old sheets and grab one.

My sheet needed to be trimmed down.  

Hem the perimeter of the rectangular fabric using a straight stitch with a 1/2'' hem.

Desired size of the cover is 44'' x 84''.

Cut 4 strips of elastic 5" long

I used 1" elastic

Fold your elastic and either hand stitch or sew on your elastic to the corners of your fabric/sheet.

There you go champ!  You did it.
