Secure by placing heavy books on the edges of the sheet. <br />Secure dowels and broomsticks between couch cushions. Tie a string across them. <br />Drape another sheet across the dowels to create a second level of the fort. Secure the sheets together with clothespins or binder clips. <br />Use more dowels or sticks to raise the roof of the fort. <br />Add string lights (secure with binder clips) and other electric lights to the walls and roof of the fort. <br />Add a TV, laptop, books, snacks or other sources of entertainment (optional). <br />Hide in your fort for the rest of the year. <br /><br />Check us out on Facebook! - facebook.com/buzzfeednifty<br /><br />Credits: https://www.buzzfeed.com/bfmp/videos/...<br /><br /><br />MUSIC<br />Building Memories_FullNoVox.aif<br />Licensed via Warner Chappell Production Music Inc.<br /><br />VIDEO<br />Two cats feast on ice cream cones before being ushered into the peppermint palace<br />Silverwell Films/Getty Images
