    Yes, but you will need to secure it to a chair or couch. Make sure you don't cover it with a heavy comforter, though.

  • Question
    I'm trying to make a tent for a school project and need to fit my family. How do I do this?
    Community Answer
    Use four chairs about three feet away from each other and a couple of tablecloths/blankets on top. Secure them with rubber bands. It's very basic, but will fit everyone. If you're looking for a classic "A" frame, you can use some hiking sticks or tree branches and tie them together with rubber bands. Then, just drape a cloth over. It should look something like this: /¯¯/\.
  • Question
    What can I use instead of chairs? Can I use a large bed?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you could do that. If you have one of those beds that has really long poles, just put a blanket over the top. Otherwise, it'll be a bit hard unless you make the tent on the floor alongside the bed and use the bed as one wall but you'd still need chairs or something on the other side.

    You can do work if you like in your tent. If you have a lot of work make sure that the tent is spacious and has sufficient light and room for books, laptop, etc. Customize it just the way you like it. You can even purchase an office tent for working in if you like.
  • Question
    If I wanted to create a tent using only a small amount of space, how would aim do that?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how small the space you use. If you build it in your closet, make sure you can get in. Don’t close the door, so you have more space. You can make it cozy with blankets, pillows, and a nightlight.

    An indoor tent can be tied onto various things, such as chair rungs, seat backs, table legs, door knobs (as long as the door isn't going to be opened and shut), hooks on the wall, etc. Whatever you choose, ensure that it is sturdy, won't move and won't cause anything to fall onto you or the floor.
