SO BACK HERE IN THE STUDIO,
TEEPEES ARE USED FOR MORE THAN
JUST YOUR AVERAGE CAMPING TRIP.
THERE'S PERFECT FOR PLAY TIME
AND CAN EVEN ADD A BIT OF EXTRA
ADVENTURE TO YOUR HOME.
HERE TO SHOW US HOW TO MAKE AN
INDOOR/OUTDOOR SPACE JUST A
LITTLE MORE FUN WITH A TEEPEE IS
LIFESTYLE EXPERT KRISTIN.
AND CHRIS PIN, YOU'RE GIVING ME
THE DRILL.
I GET THE DRILL, PEOPLE!
>> I KNOW.
I'M HANDING YOU OVER THE DRILL
GUN.
>> THIS IS THE BEST.
IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT, IT'S
SAFE.
>> AND WE LOVE SAFETY FIRST.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A TEEPEE.
IT'S A SUPER SIMPLE DIY.
ESPECIALLY BEING PREGNANT, THE
LEAST WORK IS THE BEST WORK FOR
ME.
YOU'RE GOING TO GRAB ANY SIZE.
DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE
TEEPEE YOU WANT, THIS ONE IS
LIKE A 12-FOOT ONE WHICH IS
GOING TO BE PERFECT FOR LIKE A
BARBIE.
ISN'T THAT CUTE?
>> THERE YOU GO.
>> SO MAYBE A LITTLE FUN PLACE
TO START.
AND VISUALLY I THINK Y'ALL CAN
GET AN IDEA HERE.
YOU'RE GOING TO GRAB A DOYLE AND
WE'VE MARKED IT AN INCH FROM THE
END.
MAKE IT TWO INCHES, THREE
INCHES, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE.
WE'VE MARKED IT HERE AND I NEED
TO YOU DRILL A HOLE RIGHT THERE.
IT A LITTLE MARKER.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO GO RIGHT IN THERE.
>> GO STRAIGHT TO THE OTHER
WOOD.
WOULD BE GOOD.
LISTEN TO THAT SOUND!
LOOK AT US LADIES.
>> I GET AN A-PLUS SO FAR.
>> YES, YOU WILL.
KEEP GOING.
YOU'RE GOOD.
NOW, PULL BACK.
>> I DROVE IT --
>> TO PUSH IT BACK LIKE THIS,
REVERSE IT.
PERFECT.
>> OOPS.
>> THAT IS PERFECTION, YOU GUYS
BRAVO.
>> GIVING J, ABOUT THE DRILL
TODAY.
>> YOU DID GREAT.
>> AND YOU'RE GOING TO MEASURE
YOUR STRING.
YOU'RE GOING TO PULL IT THROUGH
AND THEN -- OBVIOUSLY THIS IS
ALSO ONE.
SO I GOT THIS LITTLE STRING.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO STRING IT
THROUGH THE DOWELS LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S PERFECT.
NOW TIGHTEN IT UP.
PULL LIKE THIS.
LIKE REALLY TIGHT AND WRAP IT
AROUND AND TIE IT OFF.
LI THIS.
>> I'LL PUT THE HOLE THERE.
HE CAN BE THE HOLDER LIKE ME.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> I'M REALLY GOOD AT PLAYING
THE KID.
>> YOU'RE THINKING, I'M A BIG
KID NOW.
OKAY.
SO WE TIED IT OFF LIKE SO.
AND YOU'RE GOING SPREAD THE LEGS
OF IT REALL QUICK.
SPREAD THESE LEGS NOW.
TO CREATE THE FORM OF YOUR
TEEPEE, HOW -- SO AGAIN, THIS IS
SMALL.
WE'RE GOING TO GO THE BIRG ONE.
>> IS THERE -- BIGGER ONE.
>> IS THERE ANY RHYME OR REASON
TO MAKING THE SHAPE?
>> YOU GET TO FEEL IT OUT.
GET IT TO WHERE IT STANDS AND
IT'S STURDY.
ONCE YOU PUT THE TOPPER ON, IT'S
STURDY.
NOW WE'LL GO TO THE TOPPER.
I MADE MY TEEPEE THE FABRIC OVER
IT SO I SEWED IT TOGETHER.
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
YOU CAN USE A BLANKET AND THROW
IT OVER AND TIE IT OFF.
YOU'RE GOING TO MEASURE THE
WIDES BETWEEN -- WIDTH AND THEN
THE HEIGHT AND ADD -- I DID AN
INCH OR TWO UP TOP SO YOU CAN
JUST SLIDE IT RIGHT OVER.
SO IT'S AN --
>> QUICK AND EASY.
>> YES.
AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO ADD
DETAILS, YOU CAN HAND STITCH
THINGS.
I GOT A BIG BROKENY NEEDLE AND I
JUST STITCHED UP THE WAY.
YOU CAN SEE HERE.
>> HOW DIFFICULT IS IT GOING
THROUGH A FABRIC LIKE THIS?
>> NOT DIFFICULT AT ALL.
>> JUST WORKING IT.
>> THIS IS PLETHER.
IT'S EASIER BECAUSE IT'S NOT AS
FLIMSY.
IT KEEPS IT STRONG.
LET'S STYLE IT OUT.
WE MADE IT.
SUPER SIMPLE, RIGHT?
>> MY LITTLE TEEPEES WENT TO
THIS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
GIVE IT UP!
>> THIS IS FABULOUS.
>> IT'S SO FUN.
SO WE'RE GOING TO GOAT DOWN HERE
LIKE A KID WOULD.
THEY WOULD BRING THAT OVER FOR
THEIR BARBECUE.
AND WE ADDED --.
-- BARBIE.
AND WE ADDED FRINGE.
AND I JUST VELCROED IT.
SO IF IT'S CHANGING FROM A GIRL
TO A BOY, I CAN TAKE IT OFF.
AND THEN YOU CAN DO -- IF YOUR
DAUGHTER OR SON OR WHOEVER LIKES
TO BE OUT IN THE WOODS, YOU CAN
ADD A WHIMSICAL THEME.
CHECK THIS OUT.
THESE ARE THE FLORAL THINGS.
STICK IT IN THERE LIKE THIS.
>> OH, THAT IS SO COOL.
>> AND ADDING THE FLORAL ONE,
OH, MY DWOSH, Y'ALL -- MY GOSH,
Y'ALL, TOO CUTE.
ISN'T THAT PRECIOUS?
>> IT'S SO FUN.
>> YOU'LL ADD THE FLAVOR OF THE
KID.
SO MOVE THAT THAT WAY.
AND ADDING A LIGHT.
I JUST GOT THIS COOL IKEA LIGHT
AND I'M GOING TO PULL IT THROUGH
LIKE SO.
LET'S SEE
STRING --
>> THEN THEY HAVE A PERFECT
PLACE TO READ A BOOK.
QUIET TIME.
>> WITH THEIR LITTLE BUNNY.
WE HAVE THE I LOVE YOU AND
BUNNY.
>> THIS IS AWESOME.
>> AND THEY HAVE A FIRE.
IF YOU HAVE A TEEPEE, A FIRE.
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS WOULD BE
PERFECT AND WOOD AND A CANISTER
FOR HOT CHOCOLATE, AND YOU'RE
GOOD TO GO.
>> THIS IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA.
