I built 5 fort kits for the slumber party favors. Um, today. So a little late but still. (Inspiration here)

Let’s get to it!

You’ll need for each:

2 Flat twin sheets
1 Pillow case
1 Flashlight
1 Rope
1 Pkg cable ties
Some clothes pins
Ribbon

I found the linens (a no sew option) at Thrift stores, then washed them. Everything else (save for the ribbon) was bought at a local Dollar store.

Once you have the linens washed and folded – just grab two flat sheets and stack them. Layer your clothes pins, flashlight, cable ties and rope on top.

Place it in your pillow case and tie off access with ribbon.

Repeat as necessary …

These were the sheets I used for my daughters Fort Kit (I think I used to have the rainbow pattern growing up).

Not all of the pillow cases were cases – I found out I bought shams, too. So I just tied them differently in the end. Still a no sew option and a great way to store the Kit for when you’re not using it.

Forts were one of my favorite things as a kid. An alternate universe in my living room … the tree house I never had. What about you?
