Idea from Pinterest for a Girls' Playhouse

I saw a tent/teepee (two boys camping) idea on Pinterest and turned it into a fairy house/circus tent/princess castle for my two grandgirls.  It only took some scraps I happened to have in my stash: an old Amy Butler sheet (not even the whole thing!), some satin blanket binding, some ribbons and ric rac trim.  I will need to purchase at a discount store 3 36-inch tension rods!  The whole tent will span a hallway.

Here's the ribbon opening (front).

Ribbons are from my daughter's wedding and baby shower.

And the ric rac trim that covered some spaghetti messes!

Above the ribbons and trim edge (front panel) I added a long pocket on each side

for storing fairy wands and ribbon wands or decorating with pinwheels and flags or signs.

The whole panel is divided into thirds with a center pocket 

(yellow satin blanket binding in rear of photos) for the highest placed tension rod.

The front panel has a rod pocket (lavender) about 12 inches from the edge and the ribbons.

The back panel has a rod pocket (lavender) about 18 inches from the edge and no ribbons.

These two rods closer to the edges can be extended lower on the wall to form a tent effect.

I didn't think the girls would like to be contained inside, but would like a front and back opening.

If folded over the right way, the rods could form a puppet theater across the hallway

with a swag for storing the puppets.

The best part is that the whole affair rolls up on the tension rods

and stores away in a bag I was able to make from scraps from the sheet.

Pictures tomorrow of the girls playing in it!

A lot of potential for good imaginative play after spending an afternoon of sewing scraps together.
