Everyone has a soft spot for teepees and tents, whether you’re a kid in need of a fort or an adult who appreciates a good reading nook. Here’s our list of our favorite DIY teepees and tents.
Our Favorite DIY Teepees and Tents
Because summer is about getting away from it all. Including your house.
Simple A-Frame Tent
Have a hammer and some nails? You can totally make this tent by My Cakies.
Hand-Printed A-Frame Tent
Take your A-frame to the next level with hand printing and some tassels. Tassels make everything better.
Sheet & Rope Tent
This one’s easy. String a rope between two trees and wildly throw every sheet you own over it. I’m sure the result will be the same.
No-Sew Summer Teepee
Make a wee teepee, make a little kid’s day. That’s science right there.
Over-the-Top Valentine’s Day Fort
This fort is the layered, boho-chic cousin of these other forts. Finally a way to use your sarongs in the off-season.
Hanging Hula Hoop Canopy
Ingredients include an old hula hoop, vintage sheets, and adorable pom pom edging.
Vintage Supplies = Teepee
This one requires a little sewing, but the result is a roomy escape on your lawn.
Woven Fabric-Scrap Teepee
NO charming vintage sheets on hand? That’s fine. Turn fabric scraps into a sturdy little fort your kids can enjoy.
Yarn-Bomb Teepee
“I made this yarn-wrapped tee-pee purely for dancing.” – Natalie Miller
