It's time to start planning the next slumber party for the cousins. The camping theme is going to be a hit! I want to start with the tents for the girls to sleep in. I should have put this post under Crafts but I am so excited about this party I thought I'd use the Party Blog for some ideas and the Craft Blog for others. Let's get started! Here's how to create the tent! Materials: 4- 1” x 2” x 48” whitewood moulding 1- 3/4” x 48” poplar dowel drill with a 3/4” spade bit 2 1/2 yards of fabric measuring tape pencil (marker) Step 1: From the top of each moulding, measure and mark 6'' down. I needed my husbands help with the first few steps! Step 2: With your drill and 3/4''spade bit drill a hole at your mark. Try to center it as much as possible. Step 3: Make sure the holes are lined up by placing two moulding pieces on top of each other. Step 4: Push wooden dowel through the holes of two mouldings. It should be a tight fit. Step 5: Repeat step 4 and put together the other side with the two remaining mouldings Time to cover the tent! I don't sew so I had to get creative. I used fabric I found on sale at Hobby Lobby. Drape the fabric over the tent. Hot glue the ends of the fabric to the moulding. It may be smart to go back with a staple gun just to be sure the fabric is attached to the wood. Whether you are making this for a comping themed party, sleepover or a reading nook I hope your little guy/girl enjoys their cozy space!
