Q&A for How to Make a Pillow Fort

You can have pillows, snacks, and if you like, you can put some decorations inside.

Yes, it's totally okay! That way, your den will truly feel like your own. Don't forget, the livelier and cosier, the better!

No, it is not wrong to put up the sign, it is your fort and your rules. Just try not to be too mean if someone breaks that rule.

Of course! Just keep in mind they might get rowdy and knock the walls of your fort down.

Perhaps try to fit in some boxes and place them under the chairs or in the corners of the fort. Not only will that secure the blankets, but will also make your fort organized.

You could use the wall and shelves to make some walls for your den and fold up thick blankets for something to sit on.

Sure, as long as the weather is nice and you have permission to bring pillows and other materials outside.

Yes, they can, but if those comments are rude or mean, don't listen. They're just peasants, and you're the King/Queen of the castle!

Make the fort as described above and use the space between the couch and ottoman as a secret tunnel!

You can use a bed (if you have space in your room) and some other furniture. Be imaginative in the resources used, there is no need to be using only one sort of solution -- forts are about sparking your own ideas for the things to use to make it.

You can use pillows and drape longer blankets over the gaps. Use your imagination!

You could make a 3-wall fort. Your couch will already provide two of those walls. You can great the third wall using some pillows, a coffee table, or some chairs.

You could use lots of pillows and blankets. If there is a short table, such as a coffee table, you could use that instead.

Start over and build a new fort. Maybe the second one will be even better than the first!

You could use clothespins, big binder clips, some heavy books, or anything that is heavy that isn't glass (in case it falls and breaks).

Yes. Pin a light, large sheet to the wall above your bed and then tuck the sheet into the sides of your bed. Make sure the pinned sheet is secure to the wall.

You can still make your fort but it may be a little small. Just drape a large blanket or sheet over the chair and bed, and if you have a dresser use that to.

You can use a couch and some other furniture, such as a coffee table or a desk.

Do it! You can sleep in your fort if you want to.

Take some items out or make the fort bigger to have more room for your items.

You can use a tablecloth if you have one. You can also use curtains, even clothes.

Yes. Your roof may be sloped, but other than that, it doesn't matter.

The maximum would probably be six, but the most comfortable (in my opinion) would be three.

It would be hard, but you could try using pillows to make the roof stand up over your bed.

Then it's better to not do it, as you might get in trouble. You might try explaining where you would place your fort and what materials you would use, and your parents might change their mind and say yes.

Bring in furniture, extra pillows, and other supplies from another room or rooms. Ask permission first and make sure to move everything back.

Try to bring some extra pillows or blankets in the fort. You can also use other pieces of furniture to build a better one.

Absolutely. Just hang a few blankets from the top bunk over the bottom one.

You can substitute something else. For example, a comforter has cushioning, and you could use it as a pillow and a blanket. You could use a large stuffed animal as well.

You can use the stools to hold blankets up. You could also put blankets on the rolling chairs and make it an expandable fort.
