May 27, 2013, Unless you are living in an actual tent in the woods, you couldn't have missed the children's teepee and tent craze! No nothing seems to be more stylish for little tykes than a mini teepee to horse around in. But if you're a mamma like me, you're a momma on a budget. And dropping $200.00 on a toy made from material and wood dowels sounded kinda, sorta nuts. So I took a good look at a couple different designs and said to my capable self, "I can make that!". And then I did.
