Here is what you will need:
- A medium-sized t-shirt (use a larger shirt if you want a larger tent)
- Two wire hangers
- A 15 × 15 inch piece of cardboard (or larger)
- Wire cutters
- Safety pins
- Masking or painter’s tape
Instructions:
- First, cut the hangers where they meet to form the hook.
- Then bend them into a U-shape. It should reach diagonally across the cardboard.
- Next, tape the creases in order to reinforce the cardboard.
- Poke holes in each corner. Put the end of the hangers into each hole so that they can cross over the middle of the cardboard.
- Tape the hangers together where they cross.
- Then bend the hangers under in the corners and tape it down.
- Once the whole structure is built, pull the whole thing into the shirt. The neck hole of the shirt should create an entrance on one side.
- Flip the tent over. Pull the bottom and the sleeves tight.
- Then safety pin the sleeves to the rest of the shirt so that they are out of the way and secure.
And voila! That is it! How easy?
