Card table playhouse done!


Update: you can now see my mini-tutorial for a card table playhouse and more photos here.

I finally finished Wyatt’s card table playhouse. I think I’m happy with how it turned out. I made one big mistake. As I thought I was getting close to finishing it, I thought to myself, “Wow, I haven’t had to use the seam ripper even once.” If you know me, you know that the seam ripper and I know each other well. So of course my thoughts jinxed myself and I had to rip out things left and right from that point on. I will post more pictures soon and some tips on making a card table playhouse when I feel like looking at camo again. The inside is more exciting than the outside.

Oh ya, and apparently Wyatt is scared to go inside. I’ve tried to get him to twice but he won’t go in. Hopefully he’ll decide that he likes it, maybe he just doesn’t want to ruin his Christmas surprise.

  4. so cute! great job. he just needs to be in the same room with it for a while and then, when you’re not looking, he’ll be in there playing. it’s like magic:) great job again!

  5. I love it…I picture them as being cute, but yours is even cuter than what I imagined. Now I actually do want to make one!

  6. By the way, notice how I now can leave comments with my own name…..yes, I set up my own google account. It wasn’t actually very challenging.

  7. Oh I love the camo!!!!! It turned out great! I can’t wait to see the inside. Oh, and if you did the inside does that mean that you lined it?? You’ll have to help me out with that. I was just planning on doing applicae (sp?) on the outside. Have a good holiday!

  8. Hi there– Found your site during a search for nursing cover tutorials and was impressed right away with the clear instructions, great picgtures, etc. So clicked to see your most recent posts and there it was, a folding table cover, one of the things on my to-do list.

    Love what I’ve read so far–with my youngest pulling on my leg so I gotta go. But I’ll be back!
