Christmas TeePee

Since Little Man has Native American heritage, we thought it would be cool to build him a teepee for Christmas! So I found a tutorial on Pacemade.com and made him one. 

Materials used: 

5 1x2x8 boards 

1 canvas paint cloth

Rope 

Acrylic Paint 

Strips of fabric 

A Staple Gun with staples 

First we cut the boards to 7 feet in length. Then we drilled a whole just bigger than the size of the rope, 12 inches down from the top of each board. 

With the canvas, I created a stencil arrow out of cardboard and stenciled the drop cloth with light blue acrylic paint. 

We then put the rope through the holes, positioned the legs where we wanted them and tied it together. We draped the cloth around it, and stapled the cloth to each leg of the teepee. 

Since Sam bought me yellow rope, we tied fabric cloth around the top to hide it and add some character. 

Little man loves it and loves to hide and play in it! Such a fun addition to his room! 

I love doing projects like this. I think it will be fun to post more that I do! I also made the white table you see in the background of that last photo! So fun!
