After posting our Spring photoshoot on Instagram, I was swarmed with questions about the featured teepee backdrop! My handsome husband built exactly what I had envisioned! The best part is... it was super easy (and cheap) to build so here is a quick guide on how to DIY it for your next shoot, picnic brunch or girls party!
Supplies:
We built this teepee for $38!
Wood:
- Four (1 x 4)s : $20
- One (1 inch) Wood Dowel : $5
- Lace cloth of your choosing, I found mine on amazon. $13
Tools Needed:
-Clamps
-Drill
-1 inch Router Drill Bit (the same size as your round wood dowel)
-Saw
Step 1:
Line up the 1x4s and make sure that they are all flush with each other!
Step 2
Put a clamp on each end to keep the 1x4s in place when drilling.
Step 3
Mark where you want the hole - this is the location that the round dowel will go through.
Step 4
Drill a hole through all four 1x4s.
Step 5
Make sure your round dowel will fit snuggly through the hole.
Step 6
Cut a 45 degree angle on one end of each of the 1x4s ( the opposite end of the hole ).
Step 7
Place one end of your round dowel through two 1x4s and repeat to the other end. Wrap with the fabric of your choice.
Finished Product:
Travel Soon!
