Duck Tape Play Tent Materials Needed

Step 1

First, cut the wood boards down to desired length. This tent's wood boards measure 33 in. long, but can be left longer for a larger tent. All measurements are customizable for the desired tent size!

Step 2

Next, mark each wood board 2 in. from one end and 1 in. from the opposite end. Carefully drill holes with a drill bit the same size as your wood dowels at each of these marks. The 2 in. side will be the top of the tent and the 1 in. side will be the bottom.
