First step was to take the drop cloth and make the panels for the teepee. I used a narrow drop cloth meant for hallways for this to save on time, thus eliminating the need to hem the tops and bottoms and additional measurements.

Once the panels were cut, I attached them to each other while making a pocket to fit the pipe through.

Next step was to get the pipe ready. I spray painted the pipes, drilled holes through each of them, and then threaded some rope through the holes connecting the pipes together.

After sliding the finished panels onto the pipes, I added embellishments.

Here's the finished look! I kept the hems raw to give it a more shabby chic finish.

And here it is opened. This is decent size tent. We had 6 kids in it the other night. It's a great little play space. It's amazing how kids love tight little spots like this!
The whole thing cost me about $20 to make, I did have a few of the supplies on hand though. Check out the complete tutorial on my blog!
