Having spent a little time and effort on making this wonderful tent, you will certainly be rewarded with a happy smile on the child's face. You will need:
- 6 strong wooden branches about 2 m long (they can be replaced by wooden slats purchased in the building materials store);
- A piece of linen cloth about 2.7 x 3.7 m in size (it is advisable to use artistic canvas);
- Through metal rivets of large diameter (not less than 12 pieces);
- twine;
- Leather rope;
- Tools: scissors handle, measuring tape, straight ruler, drill, hammer, iron, textile hot glue.
Let's get started.Measure about 30 centimeters from one end of each branch. Make a mark and drill a hole through with a drill. Thread the twine through all the holes and tie a knot. The fixation will be weak at first. Don't worry, it should be so.Arrange the branches so that you getframe that matches the shape of an Indian tepee. Wrap the rest of the twine around the intersection to cover the holes and secure the structure.Fold the piece of fabric in half.Measure 15 centimeters from the corner with the fold, draw a smooth arc as shown in the photo, and cut. Wrap the fabric around the frame so that the cut semicircle is at the top of the structure. Stretch the fabric and make a mark near the base of each branch where you would like to fix the length. Remove the fabric and connect all the marks with a pen and a ruler. You will get a broken line along which you will trim the fabric.Use scissors to trim off the excess.fabric. Fold the edges of the fabric from the side of the future entrance to the wigwam and use hot-melt fabric glue and an iron to “hem” the canvas. Throw the fabric over the frame again. Make sure the length is correct and mark the places where you plan to use through rivets. To make the wigwam look attractive, there should be at least 6 pieces on each side. The distance between the rivets should be approximately the same both vertically and horizontally.Install the rivets with a hammer orpliers. Then thread the leather rope prepared in advance through the holes crosswise – as shown in the photo. Lace from the bottom up (so the end of the rope will not be visible). Tighten the lacing so that the fabric fits tightly around the frame.Now all you have to do is call your child and enjoy his genuine joy at the sight of his own indoor teepee.http://themerrythought.com
