Time for a picnic, a game of cowboys and Indians, a cosy place to sit and read, camping by torchlight, a tea party with friends or a rocket ship shooting to the stars.
Your very own Project Teepee will become all these and more. From the bedroom to the backyard, whatever type of imaginative play your child enjoys, they will love this simple to sew teepee.
Why pay over $200 for the shop bought version when you can easily make your own?
Measuring 120x150cms and 150cm high, the use of a plastic backed picnic mat for the base makes it practical for both indoor and outdoor use. Quick and easy to make, the completed teepee assembles in minutes and is easy to pack away and store. I am most definitely a ‘beginner’ sewer, I say that I can only sew in straight lines! Fortunately, straight lines are all you’ll need for this simple, DIY kids teepee.

Judy, the materials cost me about $40-45 to make, considering you pay $200+ retail to buy a similar product, I think the price is just right.
