1. added loops to the ties - making it easier to attach the ties to hooks on the suction cups.
2. added a loop & tie to the center of the sheet - to reduce the sag in the middle (we ran a rope through the loop) - this is especially useful on larger sheets. (see illustration below)
Here is a mini-tutorial for making the tie-loop combo:
I have added these changes to the original post.
I just wanted you to know I loved this tutorial and am so glad you shared!! I did a couple of these for some families we had for Christmas and they were the perfect gift as they were cheap, easy and fun!

I made a fort kit for my nephews for christmas after seeing your post. The funny part was their Gramma did the same thing! She sent just a sheet though. She folded down each corner about an inch and did the same thing half way between each corner. It made for a simple, but sturdy way to thread the ropes through that we strung up.
ReplyDeletefolding the corners is a great idea, I just might have to try that! Thanks for sharing.
