The elements of this fort are the following:
1) A blanket attached to the top bunk and enclosing the bottom bunk
2) Two chairs and/or other supports for the other end of the blanket (we used a desk chair and a music stand)
3) Blankets draped around the sides to cover all of the holes
And inside the fort:
Inside the fort you can see:
1) Pillows lining the sides for maximum comfort
2) The air mattress that you sketchily stole from your neighbor without her knowledge and are now using as a foundation
3) Food and/or movies and/or loot of some kind to hoard inside of the fort
4) The bed itself which was included in the fort and is now a couch and/or a shelf for all of your loot
Tips for the ideal pillow fort:
- Use afghans in places where you want light to come in
- Run a cord through one wall so that you can plug in your tv and have a light
- Spear a ball of yarn on top of the music stand that you used as a support so that it won't poke holes in the blankets. Then, attach the blankets by wrapping a stretchy headband around them once they are over the ball of yarn.
- Take note of which walls/surfaces you can lean against and which to avoid
- Put any beverages inside of thermoses so as to avoid having to do laundry at midnight because you spilled hot chocolate on your roommate's pillow
