Materials:
10 ft. by 10 ft. "EZ-Up" tent
12 yards of a solid fabric
12 yards of a striped fabric
12 yards of a toile patterned fabric
Zip ties
Safety pins
Straight pins
Duct tape
Carpet tape
14 upholstery buttons - Completely cover the white tent with the solid fabric. Use the carpet tape to attach the fabric under the rim of the tent (figure A).
- Measure the toile and cut it into equal halves -- it needs to make an "X" over the tent. Lay the fabric in an "X" shape on the ground (figure B) -- 10-1/2 ft. is the center point and that goes right over the top. Get hold of the fabric right in the center and put a zip tie around it to make a small pompon.
- Pin the top piece of fabric to the bottom piece.
- Place the toile fabric over the top of the tent with the pompon at the top center and each of the 4 sections falling down over the 4 corners (figure C).
- Use more pins to make sure the fabric is secure.
- The striped fabric gives a tailored look to the pole. Wrap a piece around each pole and secure with tape and pins (figure D) at the top and bottom.
- Attach large buttons (figure E) for decoration.
Note: A tent is a great way to prepare your party for inclement weather or you can use it to draw attention to a particular area of the party.
