For this Race Car themed room design, we though the Beadboard Large Storage Headboard Bed would provide a statement piece with plenty of room for all his mementos. The Beadboard Deep Armoire and the 4 Slot Wall Cubby complete the look for this room.

DIY: Hula Hoop Tent

 

 

 

If you haven't joined the world of Pinterest, we highly recommend it! Just yesterday we found this wonderful summer retreat idea from The Craft Nest. If you've got an extra hula hoop hanging around your garage and you're in the crafting spirit, spend some time with kids making an adorable hula hoop hideout.

 

What You'll Need:

Hula Hoop

Safety Pins

Twine or Rope

Tulle or Ribbon

Sheets

Scissors

Cushions and Blankets
 

Ready, Set, Go!
 

1. Pin the top edge of the sheet to the hula hook by folding sheet over and pinning it to itself.
 

2. Use twine to create a hanger to tie the hula hoop tent to the tree. You can use two long pieces of twine and tie each piece to opposite sides of the hula hoop. Tie the two together where they criss-cross with another piece of twine. Use this piece to tie the hoop into the tree.
 


3. Tie on tulle and/or ribbons or any other embellishments you may have.

4. Hang the hula hoop tent to a tree branch.

5. Add blankets and cushions underneath for an extra comfortable little fort.

And for the craft-disinclined, check out AnnaBean's kids teepee's for a quick and easy summer play hideout!
