My friend made her own out of this gorgeous vintage fabric, and I wish I had that kind of talent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee/page/2#post-1511523 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:13:26 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1511523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: we have the blue version. F got it for his birthday. It's fine, but the poles slide out of the thingy that holds them together. It doesn't collapse it, but we do have to reset them often. F loves it though! (And honestly so do I! I've been know to hide in there from time to time.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee/page/2#post-1511043 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 07:28:55 +0000 Ra 1511043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those still looking for a teepee (and don't want to make it) I saw this at Target for $39.99! It's made by the same people who make the Zany Zoo. </p> <p><a href="http://m.target.com/p/b-teepee-tent-sea/-/A-14723197" rel="nofollow">http://m.target.com/p/b-teepee-tent-sea/-/A-14723197</a> </p> [attach=2606/14/n2sdc7.460x280.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee/page/2#post-1483595 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 11:15:23 +0000 lemondrop 1483595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was planning on making one, but for convenience and price, the Ikea circus tent won out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee/page/2#post-1483400 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 10:44:01 +0000 LulaBee 1483400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made one for my daughter out of wooden poles and vintage sheets. It wasn't super easy but I think I just made it harder on myself as I didn't use a tutorial. It's nice for indoors because the sheets are thin so light filters through. I ended up sewing the fabric all the way down the poles- so poles can slip in and out but it's a pain getting them in there. If I had to re-do, I would just use fabric swatches to hold poles. </p> [attach=3216/14/n28946.450x600.Teepee.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee/page/2#post-1483398 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 10:43:58 +0000 Sammyfab 1483398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We made one for our LO's Christmas present.

Seems to be the most cost efficient way, honestly. They're stupidly overpriced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1483330 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 10:27:48 +0000 looch 1483330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Chocolate: awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1483324 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 10:27:04 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1483324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I think I saved some pinned ones too with sheets and poles. Let me look later when i have time and I can wall them to you (I have more pins then I will ever be able to accomplish or attempt so I have a lot of weeding through to find the right one Im thinking of) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1483209 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 10:02:25 +0000 looch 1483209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Chocolate: exactly! I plan to use drop cloths for the fabric and we'll get the poles from the hardware store. If I had a template, I could use the army blanket that we have, but I don't know if it would be enough for a teppee...maybe a fold over tent.</p> <p>I think it's the plan that takes the longest, actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1483206 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 10:01:19 +0000 bunnylove08 1483206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we got a pop up play tent and DD and her cousin play in it.

They are sooo cute though! I feel like if I get one for future LOs, my dog would be the one going into it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1483185 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:54:55 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1483185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to try to make one as the ones online are so pricey and Im sure my DH could do this on his own for half the price if not more </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1483177 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:52:47 +0000 autumnlove 1483177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: That looks Great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1483169 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 09:51:11 +0000 looch 1483169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this up because I am seriously considering making one, my mom and I can sew straight lines and we have a drill for the wood poles.</p> <p>What I am thinking of doing is just doing canvas triangles, with a "pocket" inside for the rod. My son can be a bit clumsy, and I do not want to deal with him trying to get inside and then having the whole thing fall over.</p> <p>And, I am totally making the felt campfire, so adorable.</p> <p>The other thing I was thinking about was using mosquito netting, we have one from when we lived abroad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467778 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:56:22 +0000 Arden 1467778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: would LOVE a tutorial! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467768 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:53:06 +0000 birdofafeather 1467768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: yeah, so the poles are attached with rope at the top through the poles (holes made with a drill), and then we made little canvas strips attached to the canvas itself to slip the poles through. so you put the canvas through the strips (not a pocket as it goes all the way through) and then push out the teepee poles to the size you want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467755 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:50:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1467755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: adorable! Did you attach the canvas to the poles? That's what I'm unsure of. The poles seek unsturdy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467747 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:45:32 +0000 birdofafeather 1467747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH made ours from wooden poles and a canvas painting tarp. i'm in the process of doing a tutorial. </p> [attach=1362/14/n1xrbw.400x600.rowspowwow_024.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467734 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 18:40:45 +0000 regberadaisy 1467734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: let me know if you want me to send you some detailed shots at key connection points. @Arden:</p> <p>P.

All the ones I'm finding are really large, I was hoping for something a bit smaller. I might make one after all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467396 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:42:07 +0000 coopsmama 1467396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I don't think having a teepee is offensive at all. I think they are a beautiful symbol of a really neat culture and heritage and I say that as someone who is not Native American but grew up living on a reservation. Most Native Americans are really proud of the symbolism of their culture. :) </p> <p>I think these are so much fun and I would've loved having one as a kid! I really want to save some $ and make a purchase for the kids' bedroom. I love @rahlyrah's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467393 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:41:24 +0000 Silva 1467393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: you could look into waldorf playstands. When we have a bigger space I'd like to get a set of those. These are crazy expensive, but give you an idea: <a href="http://www.novanatural.com/double-playstand-set.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.novanatural.com/double-playstand-set.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467382 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:36:41 +0000 twinmama 1467382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have an outdoor tepee? We're working on some natural playspaces out back, but I'm not sure how cloth would hold up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467380 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:35:42 +0000 jedeve 1467380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: Eh, I think it's all how you approach it. Playing cowboys and Indians like I did growing up - probably not the best. Teaching about heritage? Different altogether. Calling it a tent? Probably just easier for me, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467366 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:32:09 +0000 lawbee11 1467366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I :heart: yours!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467344 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:26:54 +0000 MamaMoose 1467344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Ikea circus tent and she likes it! It's only $20! I think once we get a bigger house I'll get one of the Land of Nod teepees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-a-teepee#post-1467339 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:26:30 +0000 Arden 1467339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: Good point. I'm 1/4 Native American but it never occurred to me that play teepees could be offensive. Hmm. </p>
