How to make a kids teepee from a shower curtain!

Happy Monday to you! Today Angelina is showing us how to make a kids teepee from a shower curtain! A perfect indoor hideaway! …please welcome Angelina!

How to make a kid's teepee from a shower curtain

Hello Picket Fence Readers and Friends. This is Angelina from JoJo and Eloise! I am so excited to be here sharing with you once again. Today we are going to be talking about decorating Small Spaces.  We live in a 3200 square foot house so the last thing I should be sharing is Decorating in Small Spaces. However with a family of Eight Big and Little people, 3200 square feet shrinks awfully quick.

We have 4 bedrooms total. 1 Master Bedroom, 1 Boys Room, 1 Girls Room and 1 School Room. (there is an office that, subs as a Sewing/Craft/Catch All Room 🙂

I am sure like me you have seen the whole Tee Pee trend sweeping the blog world. My girls have been asking me to make them one, I have been reluctant only because the Size and Space needed to house one of these things. And, that’s when it hit me!!! I had that wonderful DIY, AH HA!! Moment. I could make a Small Tee Pee using a Shower Curtain.

I mean, that’s what a Shower Curtain is for, RIGHT?? No Sew, Quick, Easy, Inexpensive and most importantly Space Saving!! That is my kind of project.

Supplies:

We used 3 poles that we bought at Lowe’s 72″ long, Zip ties, bakers twine and tacks.

We took 2 poles and tightly zipped tied them together, then took the last pole and tightly zip tied it to ONE of the other poles.

On the BOTTOM we took Bakers twine and Tacked it place at the bottom, going across and making a Triangle. This helps to keep the poles from sliding to far open.

I then took my shower curtain and draped it around my Tee Pee shape, then Rubber Banded the top. To cover all the BUNCHED mess of fabric, I shoved Flowered Stems in between, using my Rubber Bands as Holders.

    This is not necessary to redesign or complete renovate your bathroom like living hall or bed room. You can add simple modifications to your bathroom. In present days everyone is using blinds, shutters etc for furnishing windows. So you can modify your old and unfurnished wood with shutters.

    I think it’s a very creative idea to make kids teepee from shower curtains. Kids will definitely going to love it. Teepee will make kids room more beautiful and creative. This idea is really space saving and money saving. Teepee will going acquire a very small space of the kid room and as we will use shower curtains then this will save our money also. Thanks for sharing such a creative idea with us……

Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.”.
.
When I was a little girl we took a trip to Silver Dollar City theme park in Branson, MO. One of the attractions there is the Marvel Cave. The whole theme park was actually built right around the cave! I will never forget the feeling of descending into the darkness. We had to walk down a steep, narrow path and I could feel the rocky walls beginning to close in on me. From time to time, our guide would even have to call out for us to duck our heads so as not to whack them on rocks that were jutting out. And just when it felt like we had been walking forever; just when it felt the most narrow and the most dark; just when we were starting to get really weary from navigating this path, we turned the corner and found ourselves awestruck as we gazed at this enormous room. Everywhere we looked there were stalactites and stalagmites. Lights had been installed and they reflected off of these formations creating the most beautiful colors on the walls. There were pools of water in a shade of aquamarine I had never seen before and waterfalls flowing from upper levels. That long, winding, damp trek had been so very worth it. The descent into darkness had revealed light…and life!

My prayer for you friends, is that you will look at that narrow path with the small gate as an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to experience the kind of freedom that our souls are longing for. The wide and broad path of the world promises us a freedom that is fleeting and temporary. But at the end of the narrow path, there is hope and peace and life everlasting.

I’m choosing the narrow path. And in spite of the hardships, in spite of the challenges and the fears and the times that can feel as dark as the journey down into a cave, I wouldn’t trade a single minute of it.

After a weeklong vacation, we all feel so happy to be back in our haven. As a homemaker in the truest sense of the word (the maker of a home), knowing my husband and children consider this the place where they feel the most relaxed and at peace means all of my intentions and efforts in this area are worthwhile. It’s not perfect and WE are not perfect by a long stretch. But, it’s where we feel the most free to be imperfect. And that makes it pretty wonderful! 🌱

Extreme rain and cooler temperatures followed by extreme heat then back to cloudy and rainy. But the silver lining is that when the sun finally does reappear we definitely don’t take it for granted.

Happy Friday!! I’m working on a blog post to sha Happy Friday!! I’m working on a blog post to share all of the details of our family room shelving makeover but I’m super impatient and just had to give you all a sneak peek!! We are SO happy with how they turned out and it finally looks like I’ve always envisioned. Our quick fix years ago (scroll to see the before photo) never felt quite right but now? Soooo much better!! 🙌🏻 Big shoutout to our amazingly talented friend Matt @redemptive_woodworx for bringing our vision to life and doing such impeccable work.

I hope you all have a great start to the 4th of July weekend and make sure to check my stories later for Friday Funnies!
“Summer breeze, makes me feel fine. Blowing thro “Summer breeze, makes me feel fine. Blowing through the jasmine in my mind.” Nothing captures the aroma of summer for me quite like jasmine. With my windows open, the whole house is naturally scented and it’s one of my favorite parts of the season.
The month of June is coming to a close and it has The month of June is coming to a close and it has been JAM packed! The highlight by far though was my son's graduation from high school. When I started blogging, he was only 6 years old and some of you have been apart of my community here for that entire time. Now, he's 19 and there is a reason parents are told not to blink because the years truly do go faster than I ever could have imagined. He has become such an incredible young man we are so excited to see how God is going to unfold the next chapter of his life. We celebrated with parties galore (SO many open houses to attend!) and made memories we'll forever cherish. My mama heart was filled to bursting with the joy of it all! Now we're taking some time to just enjoy these warm, summer days making even more memories because, when you’re at this stage of parenting, you know all too well how much you need to grasp every opportunity to spend time together.

I hope your summer is off to a great start too dear friends! 🪴
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts o “And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Happy first day of summer dear friends!! I can’t believe it’s been so long since I posted something new here but life has been crazy. I’ll have some new photos of house projects and life events to share with you soon but, got now, I’m just going to enjoy this gorgeous first day of summer after our ridiculously long, wet spring. ☀️
