DIY tee-pee

73 Comment

A quick and east indoor Tee Pee for the kids.

Material

4 pieces of standard length dowel
1 length of rope
1 large piece of fabric
several clothes pegs

Method

Tie the rope around all 4 pieces of dowel to secure them.
Drape fabric around the structure
Peg fabric together at front

Notes

I used a Queen size quilt cover for the fabric. Other options are old sheets, blankets or even canvas drop sheets.
The benefit of a quilt cover is that the fabric imprinted both sides.
Optionally, you can add rubber stoppers onto each of the 4 legs to prevent sliding and damage to a polished floor.

I’ve often seen these in the shops, thought how cute they were, but also how expensive. Now I can make one for the fraction of the price
