These tents are perfect for children who love playing Cowboys and Indians or it can be used as a Boy Scout project.
Step 1:
Start off by first cutting out a circle for the bottom of the tent .... for example, 4-inch radius (the measurement from the center of the circle to the outside of the circle).
Step 2:
For the part of the tent that is shaped like a cone, you will want to draw another circle. We will want to cut out a circle that has a 4-inch radius. This entire circle will not be used...so to find out how much of the larger circle will be used, you will need to do the following trick.
Step 3:
Take the 2-inch radius circle and make a mark on it. Then roll this circle around the 4-inch radius circle, starting with the mark. Then turn it until the mark shows up again...you know that you have made one full turn then.
Step 4:
Make a few rectangle tabs sticking out of the outside of the circle. A stick can be used for the center of the tent. Then glue them to the base of the tent (smaller circle). Make a little toothpick flat and attach it to the top of the tent.
