Fort Frame
I am so excited to share this Fort Kit post with you. Seriously. I think this is one of the best things I have ever made. It is an awesome gift for any kid - boy or girl and it was a blast to put together. I made this particular Fort Kit for a birthday gift for one of Jack's little buddies. I think I was just as excited to make this for him as he was to get it!! The idea, instructions and inspiration for this "make your own fort kit"come from two different sites - Saltwater Kids and Armommy. I put my own twist on this fort kit, and made my own tags (I'm sharing - here is the link to print your own tags!).Fort Magic
I made the tags in Microsoft Word using shapes and clip art. Print the tags on card stock paper on a good quality printer (you may want to pay to print this file at an office supply store if you don't have access to a good quality laser printer). It was fun to make these tags and really gives a professional look to your finished kit.Pvc Indoor Tent
This fort kit includes: two flat sheets (with loop ties), rope, mini claps, clothespins, flashlight and a reusable drawstring bag to store it all.Pvc Jungle Gym Plans
The flashlight and clothespins came from the dollar store (I put my own batteries in the flashlight so it was ready to use). The mini clamps and rope came from Home Depot.Pvc Pipe
These mini claps are awesome for little hands, and a bit sturdier for keeping your fort in place.Pvc Pipe Tent
I cut the rope into 18 inch pieces so it would be a good size for tying down the corners. Make sure you burn the edges of the rope to keep it from fraying.Pvc Playhouse With Door
Wooden clothespins make great reinforcements too.Pvc Tent Diy
Every little kid need a flashlight to use when hanging out in a fort.
These flat sheets have loops sewn on each corner and in the middle of the long edges, and the very center of the sheet to help make a peak.
Here is a view of the entire sheet, with the six loops around the edges and the one loop in the very center. Complete the second flat sheet the same way as the first.
I loved making and giving this Fort Kit. My boys were excited about each thing in this kit, begging me to make one for them, so I knew Jack's little buddy would like it too. Homemade gifts really are the best. It is fun to personalize a homemade gift using colors, fabrics or patterns that you know the receiver will like. I didn't get too detailed in the instructions, so please email me if you have any questions and need help!
Happy Fort Making (and building)!
