How to Build a Blanket Fort for your movie night @ home!
1. MOVE THINGS AROUND
Re-arrange your furniture to make enough space for the fort.
2.GET CREATIVE
Use what you have lying around the house. Bring out the coat rack, use clamps and clothes pins, and make use of duct tape. Use your
Christmas lights or fairy lights and hang them around your fort to create an ethereal vibe.
3.CREATE A CANOPY
Use lightweight sheets for the top of your fort, this will ensure that you won’t get too hot as you watch your movie. Heavy blankets can also weigh everything down and possibly cause your fort to collapse.
Make it cozy
Get creative!
4.CLAMPS AND CLOTHESPINS
Use clothespins or clamps to hold your sheets together.
5.HOLD IT ALL TOGETHER
Use throw pillows, bed pillows and/or couch cushions to hold fort walls in place.
6.THE FORTRESS
Use chairs and sides of sofas to drape blankets over.
7. MAKE IT COZY
Encourage the kids to bring their stuffed animals, blankets and toys into the fort for a cozier space.
8.BRING IN THE SNACKS
Get your movie snacks ready and bring them in the fort with you.
