This past weekend was my nephew's 5th birthday party. In an effort to try and make our family birthday present's more personal I asked my sister what was something that my nephew really wanted and she said a tent. So off to Pinterest I went and found a pretty easy and inexpensive tutorial. All together this project cost me around $9.xx and change and it turned out pretty awesome.
Find tutorial used here
For the Xs I actually used black washi tape
Paint for the wood I already had
White sheet was purchased at the thrift store for $2.50 (I'm usually pretty iffy when it comes to buying any sort of bedding from the thrift store but this white sheet was new so I made an exception)
The garland was made out of left over yarn.

This is gorgeous! I love the little crosses along the edges, what a lovely finishing touch :)

This is a great idea and looks pretty awesome and modern too! I could imagine people actually selling these with a few tweaks and making a bit of money in the process! Great idea x
ReplyDeleteI love love love this!!! Wish I was as creative as you to make something like this! I always envy your DIY creations on Instagram. Thanks for sharing with #shareitsunday x
ReplyDeleteThat tent is absolutely adorable! Love how you added the balloons to make it extra special for your nephew. When I was little, I would try to make a tent out of whatever was handy. A sheet & sofa fort, and even my gymnastics mat all folded up. Kids have such large imaginations, and I feel like this gift is perfect for any child! Hopefully in the future, I can make something like this for a little one just as you did. Love how inexpensive it was to make, thank you for sharing :) I bet you made his day!
