Spring Break Project

I saw plans for these little tents online and have been wanting to make them. With the kids out of school all last week I decided it was time. We headed out to home depot and got the PVC pipe and 1x3 strips of wood, after a few cuts with the miter saw and a few holes to fit
the pipe it was time for Jaida to get the sander going. I wanted to be able
to completely collapse these for storage so I did 3 PVC pipe rods for the fabric to drape over and attach to. A twin size sheet would fit perfectly with a slot sewn on one side for the pipe to fit through. I used fabric I already had for these so some of them are bigger than a twin size. Anyway, the kids have been enjoying them and I enjoy that I can take them down easily.
