Step 1The layout

The layout
You will want to start by moving your furniture to accommodate the size of your blanket(s) and picking a floor plan that will hold up agains't intruders. In this example I use a couch as the back wall and a tall lamp as the center piece. You may adjust the layout according to your room of course. Also, if you need to hook blankets together to maximize the coverage simply use clothes pins or safety pins. Duct tape will also work if it is readily available and you have the right type of blankets. Quilts usually work best to deter light and enemies, they are thick and sturdy.

Her name is actually Michelle "Stumpy Stump" McTwist. she is one of Albanian hottest singing sensations, with her number two hit "I got no hands to tell the time with" remaining a club classic in the Eastern Bloc countries.  She regularly frequenst nightclub in Albania as a guest dj, she can't scratch but she can use her stumps as a sort of modified coat hangers for the three people that come to watch her. She can also be seen doing the rounds at Ablanian largest (and only) shopping mall, where she sings her well known anthem to at least  six people and a flock of goats every other tuesday.

I made one that took up my whole basement,my basement is the playroom. It just went on and on probably because we used bedsheats they work the best and are amazingly big.

Sometime this week I am going to put on my blanket making socks, walk down the hall, and we will make this happen...
Jan 24, 2008. 2:49 PMw00ty32 says:
you need to add a list of things to put in it:
1. barbeque chips
2. pillows to lay on
3. laptop, so you can read more awesome instructables like this 1
4.tv & wii
that 1 might be a bit excessive....

Wow...this is...just...wow. I laughed so hard, I squirted Monster on my monitor. My coworker knows I'm a huge geek, so she just laughed and asked if I had plans to make one. Those words should never be spoken to an ADD geek with free time... Since my boss isn't here today, I'm now constructing a fort out of my desk and old paper from the recycle bin. Then I'm going to invite the hot chick who works down the hall over for a luncheon at Fort Wilhelm. I've got a Monster and she's got a Hot Pocket! (Go ahead...say it.)

Fort Wilhelm? Of any relation to the Eric?
Jan 23, 2008. 7:21 AMPerfectlySquare says:
Yep. Figured he needed something named in his honor.

You know, for making the best website ever.

My brothers and I used to make so many of these when we were younger...

Awesome! What do mean hot babes not guaranteed?
Jan 22, 2008. 3:13 PMGorillazMiko says:
Cool! Me and my little friend (he's like 4) like to do this, but we make ours really bad, and it sucks, but this is a great help, so I might try this out, it'll give us lots of space, then I can take him in there, beat him up... nevermind. Nice job!
Jan 22, 2008. 10:34 AMmanwithoutaplan says:
i think perfectlysquare has the right idea. adjust the fort to your situation and invite the ladies for a romantic brunch (ladies can invite the men as well or whatever). effing hilarious.
