While taking out the trash last week, two bits of packaging for our new exercise bike fell out. I instantly had an idea to make A-frame tents out of them. I've been using a lot of my break time to work on them and I think the project is coming along nicely.
I measured 2 inches and made the appropriate marks.
The dimensions aren't perfect, but I figure they're good enough for my purposes. Plus I think I'll mount them onto individual bases so that should help with the height a bit.
For the tent flaps, I traced the outline onto some thin bits of cardboard that came with our cats' food.
Voila! I'll probably cut some flaps open to give it a more realistic effect but we'll see what happens.
Now, there are two methods I'm thinking of trying from here for texture. One involves a dryer sheet, and the other a paper towel and heavily watered down PVA glue.
