Darice 9184-11 Kit de tepi de madera

This was very affordable, easy to put together, and so very cute for my child's school project!

I ordered this for my daughter’s 4th grade project! Instructions easy to follow.

We loved this kit for a school project. Very easy to assemble, and the finished product looks great.

Don’t waste your money. Paper and cheap, poorly designed wood structure. The paper was not even big enough to fit the teepee completely.

This inexpensive kit provided the basic tools I needed to make a teepee for a table centerpiece. It looked cheesy when I got the materials, so I made some major substitutions. Assembling it was a little tricky (can't see it being child's play). The 'lodgepoles' are flimsy, but once glued to the base and tied together they are sturdy enough. I stained them with dark wood stain. The paper covering and decorative stickers were really tacky, so I used the paper as a template to cut a piece of muslin for the cover, which I painted with my own designs. The result is darling, especially when the teepee is placed over a flickering battery-operated tea light. Well worth the effort. I may buy another to make as a gift.

The actual tepee material is literally just a regular piece of white printer paper cut to size. It's not kind of cream colored like the picture its plain basic white, thin paper that has been folded several times and therefore has lines in it that look terrible.It was missing a couple sticks and one stick was only half the size of the others and couldn't be used. Luckily I had some similar sticks and I just added my own and it was fine.We did use this kit for my son's project but we bought a separate "hide-like" material to use for the tepee instead of the cheap paper it comes with.Overall for the price and ease of having just the tepee base, it was worth the $4 and change.

My daughter had a project for school which required a tepee. This kit was cheaper than I could buy and build myself so I figured why not. Assembly was more difficult than it should have been, but not terrible.

The wood pieces are very difficult to glue and stay in place while drying. The paper provided is plain, thin everyday white paper. We made it work with some changes, but this kit was a real disappointment.
