Over the last couple of weeks my family and I have been on vacation in beautiful Colorado visiting with some family friends. While we made sure to enjoy ourselves, we also made sure to have a little fun. It’s hard for me to ever go anywhere and not bring something crafty along. Being outdoors and camping gave me the perfect opportunity to create this fun, easy, No Sew Burlap TeePee.
You may be thinking…what is the idea behind the red, white, and blue teepee? It actually came from Ralph Lauren. No, we didn’t meet with Ralph Lauren, but we completely took this idea from him! How? Ralph Lauren owns some of the most beautiful land in Colorado between Ouray and Telluride. It’s gorgeous, and every year he invites people for special parties that he likes to throw in these humongous TeePees, and they are DECKED out. (Here is a picture from Instagram I took…isn’t this land gorgeous!?)
While traveling back from out 4 day camping trip in Ouray, Co. we actually passed by his land and were able to see his TeePees. One of those TeePees was a beautiful Red, White, and Blue. It was the inspiration behind our project. While I don’t have a picture of his TeePee, I am going to show you how I made this TeePee.
His ranch is SO GORGEOUS, right?! Love Telluride…one of my favorite places! The teepee is adorable and perfect for this time of year! :)-Ashley
Scarlet and Des had so much fun in the teepees at our local museum. I can see Cassidy making this for them – couldn’t you? It would look awesome in our yard.
I’ve never been to Colorado. It’s on my bucket list!
How cool! I didn’t know that about Ralph. That is a gorgeous view though, wow. I’m glad you guys had fun.
That is so awesome, I never knew that! Thanks so much for sharing at our Cook it! Craft it! Share it! Link Party. Hope you can join us this wednesday night at 8:30 PM EST -Doree
