What better way to celebrate a birthday party than in your very own teepee?! Kristin (@itsaboserlife) built these all on her own for her daughter’s birthday, and is here to walk you through the process! Also, how amazing is the decor courtesy of Rhonda of @simplygreenstyle ?!
First, the tools and supplies you will need:
4 – 2×4 Wood (4-5 feet long, depending how tall you want your teepee)
1 – Dowel (1/2 inch in diameter and 4-5 feet long, depending how long you want your teepee)
2 – Wood Screws
1 – Shower Curtain
1 – Staple Gun
1 – Drill
STEPS:
- Lay your 4 pieces of wood down. Measure 7 inches from the top of each, then drill a hole that measures half an inch in diameter.
- Assemble the sides – crossing two boards at a time, match up the holes and place boards so they look the way you want. Screw in a wood screw at the point where the two boards connect to give them stability.
- Repeat step two for the second side, making sure both sides match each other.
- Take the dowel and feed through the hole of one side, connecting it to the hole on the second side.
- Fold your shower curtain in half and drape it over top of your teepee frame.
- Wrap the shower curtain under the edges of your frame, and using a staple gun, staple to the wood.
- Repeat steps for as many teepees as you would like!
