DIY Playroom Tents

Let me start by saying that I HATE camping. I love the outdoors, but I prefer to come home at the end of the day, wash off all the beautiful nature and sleep on my comfy memory foam mattress. While I hate camping, I love tents. They are so fun and cozy! My kids agree, so I've been planning an indoor camping trip complete with tents.

While searching Pinterest for DIY tents I came across the perfect a-frame design from Ana-White.com. I also found an amazing loft bed design for my daughter's room. Be careful, that site is slightly addictive.

I slightly modified the instructions. Instead of 1x3 boards I used 1x2. They are only $1.07 at Home Depot! For the two tents I used 7 1x2x8 boards cut in half. This came out to 7 1x2x4 foot boards per tent. For the covers I used twin sheets. I also picked up two sets of battery-powered twinkle lights from Dollar Tree. The total cost for two tents came to less than $15!

Here are the results:

These are some happy munchkins!
