Pretty Camping

So I’ve had this idea for a while that it would be fun to go on a camping trip. But not just any camping trip. I think it would be so fun to totally decorate our camp site and make it fun! Paper lanterns hanging from trees, pretty glowy things, and of course hula hoops! I was searching Flickr for tent decorating inspiration and I came across a pretty floral printed tent. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one like it! So I started looking into what other pretty tents are out there. Here’s some of what I found!

I don’t think any of these are really me, but they are a nice change from the usual solid color tents. I was thinking that it would be fun to make my own tent and it probably wouldn’t be that hard. I had the idea to use a tent I already have as a pattern. I would sew the tent out of whatever pretty fabric I like and then use the original tent’s poles. It would be a fun project!
