We HAD fun!
I'll have to admit RIGHT now, that as a kid, I was kinda envious, when some of my
guy friends and brothers got to go to "Indian Guides..." Bear cubs - what EVER they were....
I wanted to do something outdoorsy with MY dad... So I channeled that for this project..
{Not to discredit my sweet mama, who was a BROWNIE leader, extraordinaire!}
But this one's for the DAD'S! The "Pinewood Derby" building, engineering types....

AND... our lovely and ULTRA talented guest designer for May, Clare Buswell,
we've been sooooooo inspired by her this month! THANK you SOOOO much, Clare!
Meanwhile, if you're not too tired from all the history projects YOU helped do this year
{I'm talking to YOU, 4th & 5th grade mothers - you KNOW who you are! Lol!}
Here's how I built my fun lil' TEE PEE!
Once again, my SpellbindersTM pennant die is NOT just for pennants!
In this case, it's a TEE PEE panel template, only I added the edges
and then scored them with my trusty MS score machine! {Love IT!}
I stamped the edges with a BEAUTIFUL Aztecky-Western patterned stamp
by my FAVORITE Western stamp artist, Claire from Waltzing Mouse Stamps!
{Meow!!!! ~ or, uh, should I say, NEIGGGHHHH!!!!!}
Oh, and I added a little entrance for my TEENY tiny Indian Dad..
{Wait - where was THIS idea when my kid did his report on the
"Indian in the Cupboard"! Drats! I am READY for summer vacation!}
Edges were glued!
Paper was distressed and separated to make "beams"...
Here's how the construction looks from the inside of the TEE PEE!
I traced the bottom of my TEE PEE foundation and then straightened
the lines with a ruler and added the edge for gluing...
I don't know if you can see the pencil lines ~ here's how it looked after I cut it out...
Then, generously gluing the flaps, I just popped it right into the bottom! Bam!
I cut off the top of my TEE PEE! Ouch!
But then I added the "beams" and I was good to GO!
Hot on the trail of little Hiawatha and OTHER such strange childhood memories...
Happy thoughts of FATHER'S DAY in your neck of the woods! I truly hope you'll
join us {as in JUST us GIRLS!} for the paper-craftiest fun in all the blogland!
YIPEEEE!
