Introduction

Who doesn’t love a good pillow fort? It’s a chance to be creative, have fun and relax all at once. But if you’re looking for something different than the traditional blanket-and-pillow setup, we have just what you need! With these easy steps, you can create an awesome fort that will make your friends jealous. Now let’s get started!

1: Take some pillow shams and fold them in half to form a rectangle shape.

Pillow shams are rectangular, decorative pillows that can be used as decorative throw pillows or to cover a bed. They are usually covered in a decorative fabric and have matching pillow cases. The pillow sham is placed over the top of an existing pillow for a more uniform look.

To create your own pillow fort, take some pillow shams and fold them in half to form a rectangle shape. Then tie them together with string or ribbon and you’re ready to play!

2: Lay one of the rectangles down to form the base of your fort.

Lay one of the rectangles down to form the base of your fort. You can use a sheet, blanket, or comforter. Be sure to leave enough space for the person(s) who will be sitting in the fort.

Before you begin to lay out one of these pieces as a base, consider how big you want your pillow fort to be and measure how much room each person needs inside it. If you are planning on sharing some time with someone else in this fort—whether it’s as friends or family members—make sure they’ll have enough room to sit comfortably inside before laying anything down!

3: Take a second sham, fold it in half and drape it over two opposite corners of the rectangle.

• Take a second sham, fold it in half and drape it over two opposite corners of the rectangle.
• Alternate shams on each side until you have one end covered. Do the same thing on the other end to create a tent shape.

If your sheets don’t reach all the way down to the floor, it’s okay! Just fold them into thirds and then alternate shams on either side until you have a curtain of pillows behind them. This also works if you want to make a more enclosed space—let’s say, for example, that your kids are fighting over who gets to sleep in their fort first? You could easily put this up between two beds without having to worry about anyone falling out of bed or getting stuck in some sort of nightmare scenario where they’re being chased by an evil monster under a duvet.

5: Do the same thing on the other end to create a tent shape.

• Do the same thing on the other end to create a tent shape.
• Use a few extra pillows to keep it upright and sturdy, or prop it up with books if you don’t have any extras available.

6: If you want to make your fort more secure, put a few extra pillows under the tent and situate them so they’re leaning against one of the walls. This will keep your fort upright in case you decide to get up or have an unexpected guest (like a pet or family member!).

You will need:

• Blanket(s) – at least one queen-sized blanket or two twin-sized blankets should be enough depending on how big you want your pillow fort structure to be.
• Pillows – pillows are the main ingredient in any type of pillow fort building so get as many as you need (you may already have some pillows at home that are suitable).

They’re easy enough that anyone can make one, and they’re also easy to take down once you’re finished playing. If you haven’t tried making your own pillow fort yet then now is the time!
