The Tent is Up!

Sweet joy, the tent is finally up!

This is a pretty late Christmas present for Katie, but at least I finished.

 I am not a seamstress by any means, but I really wanted her to have a great tent that matched her room and wasn't hundreds of dollars.  So, here's what I could do and thankfully, she loves it.  Yay!!!

How we hung it.  Sewed a metal ring into top of tent & strung a ribbon threw it.  Tied that to this mini carabiner which we connected to a screw eye hook; which is anchored into a stud.

Play Tents

...seriously cool.

Tent from the movie The Holiday

Ever since I saw the movie The Holiday with Jude Law & Cameron Diaz sitting under that precious play tent with his daughters, I've wanted to make one for my daughter!

Dreamy, right?


So, sometime between now and Christmas Day my husband and I are going to attempt to make our daughter a play tent; probably this weekend.  Maybe something like this that attaches to the ceiling:

2 Little Hooligans

Living with Punks

Or maybe even one like this.  It uses a card table as its base:

Old Days Old Ways

This is another fun idea, but wouldn't work for us in our set up:

Love the pockets in this tent:

We are leaning toward making a PVC frame, so we don't have to attach the tent to the wall.

Too ambitious?

We'll let you know how it goes!!
