A New Basement Addition {Tee Pee Reveal}

I have a habit of promising the kids that I will tackle this amazing and cool project for them {that I found on pinterest}, only to freak out and realize that it might be beyond my DIY capabilities. I can’t leave them disappointed, after I was the one who brought it up in the first place. Case in point… giving them a super cool tee pee for the finished basement. I have always loved the look of tee pees and thought it would be such a great addition to the play area. I pictured hours of reading, imagining and just plain fun! I couldn’t justify purchasing one, when I might be able to make it myself. But when I started to look at some tutorials on line, my lack of sewing skills made me a little nervous. I know there are some no sew versions, but I wasn’t sure how that would hold up. So when I found an amazing tee pee on Joss and Main, I used my referral credits and scooped one up. It was meant to be! Here it is in our play space…

We set it up for them as a complete surprise and they were so excited!! I added a little creative spin to the tent, by adding some pom pom fringe. That counts as a DIY project, right??? I found three different strands of pom pom fringe at Jo Ann Fabrics {one yard each} and strung it around the top. I am so excited that their creative minds will have hours of fun. Well worth it, in my book! The sale is no longer going on at Joss and Main, but you can find similar versions HERE.
