DIY Glamping Tent

Materials:

  • 4 1/2 Foam Poster Boards (dollar store)
  • Heavy Duty Duct Tape or Gaffers Tape
  • Box Cutter
  • Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Sticks

Start by taping two boards together, tape both sides of the seam

Repeat this step on the second pair of foam boards

You should have two sets of two boards tapped together

Cut 4 stripes of your extra board about 2 1/2in to 3in wide

Hot glue a foam board strip to either side of the seam covering the tape. Do this on both sets

Stand your boards up and hot glue their top edges together to create your tent shape

Add Tape to the top seam covering the hot glue

Cut a thin strip of poster board and hot glue under the top seam

Cover seam with tape

Use a 7″ wide piece of foam board and hold it up to the back of your tent

Mark the board where the tent touches it and trim

Hot glue to the back of the structure and reinforce with tape

Your tent is built!

Now cover with your favorite sheet, tablecloth, curtain panel, etc. or have your little ones decorate it with paint or markers!

Add blankets and pillows inside and you have an instant tent that cost you less than $5 from dollar store materials!
