Holiday Tips & Tricks

Something magical and fun for the little ones:
Create a Teepee Christmas Tree

Looking for a unique twist on holiday decor? A Teepee Christmas Tree is the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern creativity. This guide will help you build one, whether it’s under a traditional tree or as a standalone centerpiece.

Materials You’ll Need:

  • Teepee Tent
    • A pre-made kid’s indoor tent, preferably with stable poles and ample space for decoration.
  • Christmas Garland
    • Four 50-foot garlands to drape around the tent, adding a festive touch.
  • Christmas Lights
    • String lights to illuminate the tent and give it a warm, holiday ambiance.
  • Christmas Pom Pom Ornaments
    • Decorative pom poms to add a playful and colorful finishing touch.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  • Set Up the Tent

    • Assemble the teepee tent if not already set up, ensuring it’s secure and positioned in your desired location indoors.
    • Make sure the poles are tightly in place and the fabric is evenly stretched to avoid sagging.

  • Drape the Garland

    • Starting from the top of the teepee, drape the garland diagonally down to the bottom edge of the tent.
    • Secure the garland at the top and at intervals along the tent’s frame using hooks, clips, or twist ties to ensure it stays in place.
    • Repeat this process until the garland completely covers the desired sections of the tent. Use additional garland if necessary for a fuller effect.

  • Add the Christmas Lights

    • Wrap the string lights around the garland, starting at the top of the tent and working downward.
    • Weave the lights through the garland for a cohesive look, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
    • Plug in the lights to test them and adjust as needed for even brightness.

  • Attach the Pom Pom Ornaments

    • Hook the pom pom ornaments onto the garland or tent fabric at various points, focusing on areas that need more color or texture.
    • Space the pom poms evenly to avoid cluttering one section of the tent.

  • Final Adjustments

    • Step back to assess the overall look of the tent. Adjust any loose garland, lights, or pom poms to achieve balance and symmetry.
    • Ensure all decorations are securely attached to avoid accidental falls.

  • Enjoy Your Festive Teepee Tent

    • Turn on the lights and admire the cozy, festive atmosphere of your decorated teepee!
