How to Make a Fort on Your Bed
There’s something about forts that just screams childhood. Whether you’re 8 or 80, there’s something magical about building a fort. And what better place to build a fort than your bed?
Follow these simple steps and you’ll be on your way to the best sleepover ever.
First, gather your materials. You’ll need sheets, blankets, pillows, and whatever else you want to use to decorate your fort.
Once you have everything you need, it’s time to start building.
The first step is to create the frame of your fort. This can be done by draping sheets over furniture or tying them together to create a canopy.
Whatever method you choose, make sure the frame is sturdy enough to support the weight of the blankets and pillows.
Once the frame is up, it’s time to start adding the walls. Again, sheets are perfect for this but feel free to get creative with how you want to add them.
You can tape them together or even use clothespins if you want a more temporary fort.
Now it’s time for the fun part: decorating! This is where you can really let your imagination run wild.
Add string lights, posters, stuffed animals – anything that will make your fort feel like its own special space.
And that’s it!
