How Do You Make a Sleepover Teepee Tent?

When it comes to kids' parties, sleepovers are always a big hit. And having an Instagram-worthy setup like an on-theme teepee tent brings the fun sleepover vibes to the next level. Luckily, designing a boho-chic teepee for guests to cozy up in is surprisingly straightforward with the right directions.

Location and Size

First, determine where your slumber soiree will be located, along with how many guests need to fit inside the teepee. This dictates the footprint - make sure there's ample floor space for sleeping bags and sitting up comfortably. Hard floors like wood or concrete lend themselves better than carpets for securing the structure.

For epic teepee sleepover parties at one-of-a-kind venues, companies like HV Queens of Teepees offer dozens of whimsical estates to choose from across the U.S. Many boast sprawling laws perfect for hosting a festival of teepees that will fuel kids’ imaginations and create lifelong memories.

Teepee Structure

The classic cone shape of a teepee comes from long wooden poles that have some flexibility to bend and lash together at the top. While specialized teepee kits are available for purchase, you likely have suitable materials around the house. Think broom handles, tall tree branches, bamboo sticks, PVC pipes, or lightly used lumber pieces.

Gather at least 6-10 poles, measuring at least 10 feet long. Have extras on hand for any breakage during assembly. Lay them out with tops touching and spread bottoms about 5 feet apart to create foundation; the width depends on the desired teepee size. Once the base structure is set, carefully bend the tops together and tightly tie them off with rope or twine.

Draping the Fabric

For this quintessential bohemian style, anything goes fabric-wise - solids, prints, tapestries, sheets, scarves, whatever! Just ensure the material is lightweight and breathable. Measure out enough yardage to generously cover the structure, leaving an entrance flap. Drape fabric over the frame, wrapping and tucking any excess to create billowy, vibey effect. Secure fabric to poles at several points with safety pins or binder clips.

Cozy Touches
