Additional materials needed for this project:

Set up structure

  1. With stakes together, use cloth tie to bind it, so it won't budge

    Spread the stakes out

    Push into ground so it doesn't move
  2. Drape tarp around

    Tie tarp at the top

    Make that knot nice and tight
  3. Tuck in the sides & anchor with tent pegs

    We used bulldog clips to clip back. They were the right size to clip and tuck.
  4. Decorate and have fun!!

    Now go on, make some memories.
