Tipi playhouse

Tipi playhouse: Materials

3 1⁄3 yards 60-inch-wide ripstop nylon
1⁄2 yard 45-inch-wide yellow cotton
1 yard iron-on adhesive
Twelve 1⁄4-inch grommets (kits include grommet tool)
Nine 27-inch-long black shoelaces
Six 8-foot-long, 1-inch-diameter bamboo poles
Six 1-foot-long, 1⁄4-inch steel rods (cut to size if necessary)
One roll 30-inch-wide heavy paper and masking tape (optional)
One 54-inch-long bootlace
Six tent pegs

Tools

Pencil, fabric measuring tape, iron
Drawing compass, string, pushpins
Scissors, hole punch
Hacksaw (to cut steel rods), hammer
Electric drill with 13⁄64- or 1⁄4-inch bit

Cut out the fabric

When you purchase fabric, it’s folded in half lengthwise. Unfold the nylon and refold it in half crosswise (cut ends together) to create a 60-inch square.

To make a 60-inch-radius halfcircle for the tepee shell, mark a quarter- circle on the folded fabric using a pencil and measuring tape: Lay the measuring tape down between two diagonal corners and draw a 60-inch-long line measured from the folded corner (this is the radius).

Then, starting from the adjacent folded corner, draw a quarter-circle, arcing around the end of the line and ending at the opposite corner.

It may help to mark the curve of the quarter-circle with string secured by pushpins. Cut out the quarter-circle and unfold the fabric.

Make decorations

Following the package instructions, apply the iron-on adhesive to the back side of the yellow cotton. At one edge of the fabric, draw two 12- by 3-inch zigzag shapes on the backing of the adhesive (see figure E).

Cut out the shapes, saving the triangles (shaded on the pattern) to line the tepee’s top edge. Remove the paper backing from the zigzags.

Place a zigzag along the top of each opening edge of the tepee as shown in the photo on page 126 and bond with an iron. Next, bond the small triangles (saved from zigzags) along the tepee’s top edge:

For the first row, lay seven triangles point to point and bond. Apply the second row of triangles (six) in alternate spaces over the first row’s touching points (see figure F).

Tipi playhouse: Make the decorations

Cut out two 1½-inch-diameter and two 8-inch-diameter yellow-cotton circles (figures B and C); they’re easier to cut if you fold the fabric into quarters. Remove the paper backing.

Bond the 1½-inch circles onto opposite sides of the tepee opening, 22 inches up from the bottom and 11 inches in from the opening edges (on radius marks). Bond the 8-inch circles 10½ inches (on center) away from the little circles as shown.

Cut out twelve 3-inch-tall yellow triangles (see figure D). Cut one triangle in half lengthwise and apply the halves to the two opening edges at the bottom of the tepee; bond. Apply the 11 remaining triangles to the bottom edge of the tepee at the six radius marks and halfway between each pair of marks.

Attach to poles

At the top of the tent, punch 15 holes 1 inch apart through the yellow triangles, starting 1½ inches from each opening edge.

Weave one full-length black shoelace through the holes to tie the tent to the poles.
