Project Teepee: A DIY Project the Kids Will Love

Childhood 101 Project Teepee- DIY Teepee Pattern

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?

Childhood 101 Teepee Project- DIY Teepee Pattern

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.

Purchase your very own Project teepee downloadable instruction booklet today for just $5

    Looks great. I can't believe you made that! By the way, Immy is so cute. She reminds me a lot of my daughter, who is only a couple of months younger. I love this age!

    great price? the material and supplies will cost lots!

    Thanks everyone, it really is easy to make.

    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.

    awesome I have been wanting to either buy or make one of these. Thank you for sharing I will buy a pattern for sure.

    This is so cute. I love it. When I made one, I made it with doors that had flaps and you can pull them back, which is also really cute. I also found that putting a bead between each pole really helped it sit nicely and open properly.
