[nomij]

Hi guys!
I came into this challenge ready to vote for myself, (What a great prize!), but I've already seen about 8 projects that I want to vote for, and it's only day TWO!

Here's my entry... a puppet theatre for my little guy:


The Materials:  Two Table Cloths, (I didn't end up using the yellow), Two packs of electrical tape, (one pictured, I needed to buy a second), Red duct tape, bamboo garden skewers, Star sequins, bristol board and a shiney bag.  (I wish I had figured out how to use those swirly things!!!! They wouldn't install properly )


Some Progress Pics:



All finished:


My son luvin it... (This made it all worth it!!!   )



Thanks for looking, and good luck to everyone!

wow---that has got to be one of the most inventive ways of using dollar store stuff I've seen yet!  I cannot believe that tent can be made for less then 10 dollars!  That would cost so much in a toy store!
Wonderful job and good luck in the voting!

Wow, you rock!  GREAT work.

Is it all just duct taped together, or did you sew?

[littlebluegirl]

Thanks for all the great feedback!  It makes my day

Wow, you rock!  GREAT work.

I used the entire roll of duct tape on the frame.  I guess the dollar store rolls don't have as much as Home Depot   But the tablecloth stripes are taped with red electrical tape on the back, and then I cut the electrical tape into squares to pretty up the front, (lotsssss of squares).  The electrical tape was four colours for a buck, so that worked awesome!
