Living Room Camping

This weekend I decided to build Mini a tent. She loves to tell you "hide" and disappear under the sheets on the bed. And she really loves here new hiding spot.. so does the pup. 

What I used: 

• 2- 1" x 2" x 8' ( cut in half to be 4' long pieces)
• 1- 3/4" x 48"
• drill with a 3/4" spade bit
• picture hanging wire
• ribbon for the ties
• 1 twin sheet
• elastic

To build it:

1. From the top of your now 4 1" x 2" x 4" 's drill a hole for the dowel 6 inches down.
2. Slide the dowel through. You now have the frame! Easy enough right!?
3. If you have a little one like me that you think it needs some support add the picture hanging wire at the tops so that it can not open farther than you want it to. You can see it in my top picture.

For the cover:

1. Cut your twin sheet to about. 46" by 85.5". Do a half inch seam around the edges.
2. On each corner cut a piece of elastic about 4.5-5 inches long and sew a loop. to attach to the sides.
3. Another if you want it step: I added little ribbon bows to the sides about 27 inches up to tie the sides up.

By using a twin sheet we had more than enough fabric left over to make her a pillow case and little blanket to go with her tent from the scraps which she ended up loving.

Happy Crafting
