Mini Teepee Craft

Materials you will need:
5 straight sticks
Rectangular piece of material
Elastic band
Paints or textas
Needle and thread

How to make Mini Teepee Craft:

1. Source some straight sticks, and cut them to even lengths (about 20cms in length).
2. Tie the elastic and assemble the sticks.
3. Collect the sticks together and wrap the elastic around one end to keep them tight, then assemble the sticks in a (sort of) hexagon shape to resemble a mini teepee.
4. Create a design on the material (perhaps an old cut up t-shirt?) - we used a geometric design, however, you could choose flowers or swirls if you wish.
5. Position the colored material onto the teepee frame and use the needle and thread, to tack the material to the teepee frame, to hold it in place. You may need to fold in some edges to make it fit neatly and don't forget to leave a gap for the doorway.
6. Now, your mini teepee is ready for someone to live in - who will it be?
7. You could also make this much larger, even kid size if you're feeling really ambitious (and are handy with a sewing machine). Have fun.
