How To Make A Blanket Fort
Note: These are just our suggestions and tips for building a successful fort structure, but we encourage you to be resourceful and get creative with what you have!
SUPPLIES
Sheets
Blankets
Cushions
Pillows
Chairs
Wooden dowels or broomsticks
Clothespins
Binder Clips
String
Tape
String lights
Electric tea lights
LED lights
Heavy Books
Entertainment

INSTRUCTIONS
Choose a location and clear a space for your fort.
Build the walls of the fort with the backs of chairs.
Drape blankets over the backs of the chairs.
Add layers of blankets to the floor between the chairs.
Line the walls of the fort with pillows and cushions.
Drape a sheet across the chairs to create a roof. Secure by placing heavy books on the edges of the sheet.
Secure dowels and broomsticks between couch cushions. Tie a string across them.
Drape another sheet across the dowels to create a second level of the fort. Secure the sheets together with clothespins or binder clips.
Use more dowels or sticks to raise the roof of the fort.
Add string lights (secure with binder clips) and other electric lights to the walls and roof of the fort.
Add a TV, laptop, books, snacks or other sources of entertainment (optional).
Hide in your fort for the rest of the year.

All this hard work.....
And then it gets destroyed by siblings ;-;
I SHIP JAMES AND GRAYSON BY THOSE LITTLE FREAKS 😭
#relatable #truth 😢😂;-;

FUDGE THEMMMM >:((((
I SHIP JAMES AND GRAYSON TRUE
I’ve decided that this is what I’ll do as an adult.

@Pastel Cookie sadly fun isn't very accepted for the youth lol

are you an adult yet
Nice i can't wait to do shrooms in this blanket fort.
Wtf hahaha
@@jimmyclancy8835 me and my Girlfriend did on new years, and it was great way to spend new years together during the pandemic.
Fffff
@HelloTH-camrs uhhhh snacks :)
Wtf
The only thing i hate about any fort is when u invite someone in and they ruin the ceiling and i hate the stick in the muddle always
Antique or on Fleek? ? Foreal I spent such a long time make snack building the fort and picking a movie then my mom says I have to let my baby brother in and he fucks it up
Hvmble i can relate with my sis
Hvmble tru
I’m sorry but muddle lol😂
Dude one time I invited a friend and my cousins over for a sleepover and we built like 6 forts and my ‘friend’ said she had to sleep and to turn off the tv but first she wanted to watch something for a while so i didn’t care I was like ‘go ahead’ and my cousins and I chilled in the forts. BUT HER AND ONE OF MY COUSINS COULDNT SEE, we said deal with it because our main fort was barely in the way of the tv. And my cousin had the audacity to take down the roof. Also my other friend woke up around 4am and saw the chick complaining STILL UP AND WATCHING TV. Dang this was a long rant for me. Welp if ya made it down here congrats and bye.
If I do that my mom will be like
Mom: CLEAN THAT UP NOW
Same but I did this when she wasn't home😂😂
My mom will be like YES HER FACE WILL GET HIDDEN
So relatable
asian moms...
Oh sad my mom is so cool she would also enter and play with me lol
I want to do this but my mom will be like
"WHAT THE FREAK ARE YOU DOING"
Frz
My mom does let me. She just looks at me and then lets me countinue
My mom will be like ugh that a mess ugh ugh and my dad wont even notice when he stares at it but than bam CLEAN THIS UP
Sameeeew
I did it when she wasn't home😂
Tips from the master🧐:
-Definitely use mostly sheets. They are lighter and probably bigger than most blankets
-If you’re allowed too, pin sheets to the wall you instead of completely using chairs and poles to give height to your fort
-If you have one of those weird bungee chairs, use it as a “window” for ventilation
-USE YOUR MATTRESS AS THE BASE. Especially if u wanna sleep in it, which I always do. Some forts I’ve made have actually stayed up for weeks cuz I think they’re so cool lmao
-Use a small bookshelf if you have one for candles and other storage. I place the books on my bed boards since I’m using the mattress!
I know most of you might not have all these specific things, but my point is to get creative!
Happy Embracing Your Inner 3-year old!
Thank you for your suggestion, I'm a gotta make one right now,
Blanket Fort: *Exist*
Little sister:
*Hipity hopity you are my property*
Edit:Thanks for the likes 🥺❤️❤️

I’m the younger sister 😂
*I am the little sister in here then* lmao
I would actually just get rid of a bed and sleep in this. Best thing ever 10/10

i live in florida and it always rains so i made mine when it was raining
I agree!
Or when ypur hela bored in quarantine
One time I made a fort because me and my friend were bored at our sleepover, we put a blanket over our dining table and then we put a bunch of blankets on the floor. What was funny, is I put a doll head on a chair, then i put it underneath the blanket. I went to sleep, Then she screamed and I jumped and she threw the doll on my head 😂 I haven't told her it was a prank yet. And she thinks its still haunted. Next sleepover will be hilarious.
Nesquickbbboy hahahahahah that is so funny
Reddie Trash that's true friendship man lmao
Doggo I live in he philippines but Im having a sleepover with my cousins😊
lol
omg lol
FOUR people inside this small space? The temperature would rise in like 10 minutes. And if someone farts the air would be unbreathable.
Neonennui best comment ever you have a new loyal sub
This accurately describes me and my friends 😂😂😂😂
I laghafed

Oh you again
We just used to put a blanket over the dining table... It was amazing ♡♡♡
Summer Myst see, our dining table had the supports in the middle 😣🙁
Katie N. Same :(
Summer Myst same. Then, we threw this very weird square mattress under it and covered it with two big blankets! Then we played card and board games!
That's boring
My dining table is too big.
But how can I afFORT that many blankets?
Get it?AfFORT? Fine I'm going.
😂😂
Lol
Yeah like blankets are seriously pretty expensive
🤦
I love it

That’s me everytime my friends say a pretty lame joke/pun and then ask me if I like it
This would be better if I had no social interaction just a book,my cat,laptop,phone and food. That is a better dream. I wouldn't mind having company, but I prefer being alone. I'm in introvert we have issues too 😂.
Emily Garcia i know the feeling😂
Emily Garcia are you related to Karina Garcia
Sorry I sound like stalker

Sophia V no ._. U don't need to assume someone's last name cuz there's lots of people with my last name ._.

my cat : *its time to jump*
Xd same with my cats
It’s jump time boys
Same my friends cat did that lol we had to rebuild it 😂
So true! My brother and my cat jumped on it when I finished it!
Tell me why i laughed so hard at this
when I was 5 me and my other 2 cousins (who were the same age as me) built a fort using the exact items like blankets and heavy books
Cool
oh aisha hasn’t everyone?
Calvin Dwyer, no.
Umm sorry this comment made me so mad there are no words... But how on stinging earth do you build a for without blankets and books??? Like you must be an idiot if you think this makes you different from anyone else in the whole world
Who in the world has this many blankets
Nahi Ngwen
an overconcerned mother
someone in the winter
One time I went to the chicks house and her couch had over 10blankets on it and it was the most comfortable thing ever
Nahi Ngwen also my family is huge so if we let everyone deal with it and made this we would have enough
Nahi Ngwen lol only nifty has😂😂

I don’t believe you
So y the fuck are you here
Nicole Opeku
Lol
Woah, woah xD What is up with the negativity? As if you never built a fort when you were a kid? :) If so, you know better to not put a stick within the tent, it’s just troublesome (people might knock it down) :D
Edit: Not exactly the “COZIEST” Blanket Fort :D
The most comfiest part is the clean up process
Loll
I like To Swim tOtTaLLy
Who’s planning to do this for themselves 🙋♀️🤣
Me!
Definitely 😂😂
Yep

“If” you grow up?😅
#Michelle if you grow😂😂😂
SAME
"BEEEEEENN Is that my tea" that's what I thought of (simplynailogical)
#Goals
The fact that I don’t have that many blankets at home hurts
You can also use bedsheets
lucas's play time that genuinely helped ngl 😂
Lol ik
Or pillows
me too

YASSSSS
Yasssss bby ST
Im here
This is extra all you need is like 4 chairs and a blanket and pillows and your done
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
True, but what about snacks.
being extras the point tho
True but they're making an extra comfy fort
Well I mean like the title of this video is best fort ever
If you don't have that many blankets and sheets, ask your friends to bring their own! BYOB
then the first step would be to actually find people that can tolerate me, then make friends... but yeah, that is a great idea
WynWyn what does BYOB mean? Bring...your...own, bitch?(or blankets idk)
Narwhals are awesome yep, bring your own blankets. but I would be concerned about how it's washed and who and what used it. don't want a cigarette smoke blanket cuz the smell makes me nauseous and the smoke makes me itchy. or if they never wash it and it smells like dog urine.
Narwhals are awesome lol "bring your own bitch"
Urooba Ahmed what kind of friends do you have lol
I have all the supplies except “Friends”
Thefluffnoodle its called quarantine lol
Lilly_ 14_ hahah
Even not in quarantine same no friends

Get your family members
Oh wait I forgot...
Me: *reads description*
Description: Supplies: Blankets, Pillows, sheets, and friends
Also Me: *thinks* I have no friends... Eh ima do it anyway
It was going brilliantly until the TV was mostly covered by a blanket. Serious fire hazards ruin fun times: keep your TVs free and let lots of air circulate!!!
that's why you use a laptop instead\
May Pham Still, laptops can get pretty hot. (Spoiling their performance, if nothing else). Better well-ventilated than sorry.
well, i have this pillow thing that has a wood surface like a wood stray to put my laptop on so the it won't get hot :)
May Pham Nifty!
Greenkey2
Well there’s always a large hole for air whenever I make a blanket fort. It’s not even on purpose lol
i never got to be an actual kid when i was younger because of strict house rules and parents, but once i get my own place, i would love to do something like this :) i want someplace where i could hide from the world to, and this seems such a pretty fort ❤
Hope you've found what you were looking for
Blanket fort: finally done

Cuz I don't want to sit on my bed all day, and the fort looks awesome

When you slowly realize this is the EXACT way you made forts when you were little....
*step one: have aesthetic blankets and pillows*
I have failed already
You can use any blankets or pillows it doesn’t matter as long as it nice and cozy 👍
@@nancy290
Me being a perfectionist will make the fort way worse ;-;
@@jessica.m.thornhill2300 Then be natural and make it how you want so it doesn’t fall ✌️
The only _How To_ that really matters.
Holy fuck, every time I think the fort is done *THEY JUST ADD MORE SHIT MAN IM ACTUALLY GOING TO DO THIS*
Who’s parents let them use that many blankets? Lol and if you live on your own how do you even have all of that? What field did you major in? Also who’s going to do the laundry?
Liz I dont think many people make forts that live alone
um making a fort for yourself is the best thing ever.
blankets arent expensive and making a fort doesnt require laundry afterwards unless you spill a drink or something
Liz lol you strike me as the parent sort. my mom said the same thing watching this video
usually when people have some friends over to have a sleepover. they can ask their friends to bring extra blankets and pillows. then get comfy in there together, eat snacks, talk about life, yada yada yada...

Also me *goes in fort*

Normal people: I can't wait to have my friends come over and we can hang out in the best fort ever
Me: I should stop procrastinating and make this depression nest for me and my cats
That's why I made a tiny fort in the space in my dresser, it's hard to explain the space but I made it so I can hide in there when I get sad.

@Jjss Fam How long did you keep it up? I mean, eventually it had to come down right 😅😭
How did you keep it up with 2 chairs?
How is just 2 chairs enough tho
Anyone else notice that they put the "dowel" right up in front of the TV so there'd just be a big hunk of wood in the way of the screen

This fort is awesome! We tried it and it worked, we watched Netflix in it and it was easily seeable. Thank you so much.
I had built a terrible blanket fort.
I thought it was okay.
Then this came up in my recommendations.
This was too hard.
So I looked up some different ones.
They were no help.
So I attempted to make one myself.
I was amazed at my fort-building abilities.
The only other material I used was an extra chair.
It’s amazing how much one item can do.
I would make one if I wasn't so lazy
U must be really lazy
Me too
I’m lazy, but this is a castle I would build.
I can't be the only one bored in quarantine😂
i am too that’s why i looked this up 🤣
@@peachy-wd6cilol 😂
I wish you could see my fort. it looks so cool!!! but instead of using the couch for a base, i used my backdrop stand and desk. i also used a yogibo and tent to stand it up. i wish i could show you. i used fairy lights and christmas lights too!!!
