How to make an Awesome pillow fort

Hey guys! So remember the post when we made a GIANT pillow fort in my bedroom? If you haven't seen the video, watch it here) Well, you guys seemed to LOVE that, so today, I am going to show you how to make one yourself!




Well, today, I am going to be sharing with you how I made my fort and how you can make yours! We will be diving into some tips and hacks for the COOLEST pillow fort! Well, without more introduction, let's go!

Tip 1: Make the room dark

Do you love LED lights or have some leftover lights from Christmas? Great! You can use them in your fort! I think pillow forts are WAY cooler when they have cool lights.

This is such an important tip! Making you fort big is an awesome way to make it better. In this case, bigger is better!

Want to stay in your fort for a long time? Well, you will need something to do! Try a movie theater fort or a library/book nook fort. Include lots of things to do!
