Homemade Tent For The Boys To Hang Out In Over The Weekend.
Well, I like to make tents any time of the year but I have seen some really cute ones around the web that you can make yourself! You know I am all about some D.I.Y!! Here are some that caught my eye:
A-Frame Tent
Via Cakies
Materials for the A-frame:
4- 1'' x 2'' x 48'' whitewood moulding
1- 3/4'' x 48'' poplar dowel
drill with a 3/4'' spade bit
measuring tape
pencil (marker)

This one takes a little more tools and help, but cute all the same!
What You'll Need For This Tent:
- Three yards of cotton fabric (upholstery weight is best)
- 20 half-inch finishing screws
- Power drill
- Four two- to three-inch wood screws
- Four six-feet-long boards, anywhere between four and six inches wide
- One one-inch square, five-foot-long board
- A friend who can hold the structure as you're building it

Don't forget about the Tee Pee!!

This requires some sewing knowledge and is a little more advanced, but what kid (or adult) doesn't like
a tee pee?
- 6- 6ft bamboo garden post (can be purchased at Home and Garden Centers)
- 3 yards of 60 inch wide white painter’s canvas
- Scissors
- Pen

- 3 Strong rubber bands
- 6 plastic 1 ½ inch rings

- 12 Large Grommets & grommet setting kit (I used 1/4”)

Card Table Tent
Via MyCakies
I absolutely LOVE this idea! All you need is a card table, sewing machine (along with sewing skills), and fabric!
No Sew Play Tent
You can always just grab whatever furniture and sheets or blankets that you have lying around and make your own tent or fort. These are just on my wish list of cool tents!
