A Simple but Effective Glamping Light
When it comes to glamping ideas, practicality has to come before style. In this project, though, Hometalker Anna shows us that doesn't mean ignoring style entirely.

To give your glamping tents some sparkle, add a light tunnel. This mother-and-daughter Hometalker team bent PVC pipes into an arch and secured them using cross-connections.

Jazzed Up Glamping Stool
Glamping ideas don’t always have to be complicated. Wanting to update her stool, this Hometalker removed the old seat. From here, she taped off striped areas on a painters drop cloth. To finish, she painted her strips using a craft brush and blue craft paint. Once she’d achieved a faux grain sack look, she attached the fabric using glue and thin nails. Get tutorial here
A Cheeky Treat for Hungry Glampers
Glamping ideas can be as tasty as they are practical. For this project, Pat paid homage to glamping with gingerbread.

Relax in Style When You’re Glamping
A hammock is great when you’re glamping. For this DIY creation, Hometalker Andu used a sheet of ripstop nylon.

Once ready, he secured the ends around a tree for a perfect relaxation spot. Get tutorial here
