This is day 3 of being stuck indoors with my snotty, grotty little monsters. There has been crafting, plotting, board game playing, puzzle solving, chasing, racing, eating of treats, watching of tv, cuddles, tantrums and so much snot my kids look like there's been a snail convention on their clothes. I think we are starting to get cabin fever, so I thought for a change of scene it would be nice to build a little house within our house :-)
I posted a good while back about teepees and had finally decided to make my own so I bought this fab cotton tapestry from Urban Outfitters for $19.99 last year and 6 bamboo poles from Bunnings for $7 earlier this year. Being the fervent crafter and creator that I am that's as far as I got until today.
A bit of tape, a hair elastic, some manoeuvring and ta daaa!!!
Look at that workmanship! I'm not denying it's pretty basic but the boys are having loads of fun playing in it and I found this tutorial online for making a teepee, so who knows? Maybe in time for my youngest's 21st birthday?

I love it! Good for you, I've been wanting to make one of these for ages & I think I've been over complicating it in my mind. Tape & elastic, now that sounds more achievable for me!!
Very impressive! That fabric is gorgeous as well, what a find! x
I LOVE your line about the snail convention (might have to steal that one!) and I adore your teepee...
That's so cool! I would have loved that when I was a kid!

Good job! I sympathise, there's nothing worse than kids with cabin fever. Love the teepee, they cost a fortune to buy from certain websites who shall remain nameless...
Well done! Nothing like a small change of scenery to lift the spirits. Hope they all get significantly less snotty soon!
