Super Cool Chair Tent

Step 6 Adding Decorations (Optional)

This is the fun step. Get the kids to help you decorate the sides and ends. It will be much easier to do at this point before assembling the tent. Let your imagination guide you. I have chosen appliques but you could use fabric markers and let the kids go.

My roof fabric had a floral design so I chose to go with flowers. To make the appliques you will need:
*paper or light weight cardboard to make a patterns
*Fusable web (Wonder-Under products sold at JoAnn's)
*Fabric scraps

Make patterns of your choice. Trace right side down on paper side of fusable web, this is especially important if you are making letter appliques. Follow manufacturer's directions for ironing on to the wrong side of your scrap fabric. Cut out your applique before peeling back paper to expose fusable adhesive. Position on tent sides or end flaps as desired. Iron in place again following manufacturer's directions. To make the design more durable especially in the washing machine, zig-zag around all appliques. See photos. You are now ready to put the tent together.
