DIY Sweet

Little Tent

By Melissa Jenkins

6 inexpensive garden stakes from the local dollar store Use twist ties to make an A frame from your garden stakes. You will need to place the garden stake frame on carpet or a rug so the the stakes stay upright when leaned against each other. Once stakes are all attached, cover with sheets or a blanket and tie back the sides on the front with ribbon, strips of fabric or in this project, some old pearls/beads from the Christmas decorations box. Toss in blankets and pillows!
