Blanket fort tips by Fábio

1. How ever many sheets you have, double them. You'll need it.
2. clothes pins. The Essential blanket fort tool.
3. Create a good foundation. Your blanket fort is only as strong as its foundation.
4. thin rope or string. You may need to lift certain parts due to not having any point of support, so tie an end of the string to a bit of cloth and tie the other end somewhere high, a well secured ceiling lamp maybe?
5. GO BIG OR GO HOME. it's a fort not a dog house.
6. Go crazy. experiment. use your imagination.

1. We used five or six queen size duvet covers. There were three standing by.
2. We used hair ties and rubber bands.
3. Chairs and lamps make for decent foundation.
4. I couldn't find twine (huh. I think it's in my car) so we had telephone cord (which we didn't use).
5. It was pretty big (that's what she said). I mean, there was essentially an entry way, room for four people and a dog, and room for two to sleep (note to self: more cushioning on floor so no achy back the next day).
6. We experimented. They didn't always work. Next one will be bigger and better. When does a fort stop being a fort?
