Craft Project Directions: Take a piece of construction paper, any color, and wrap it into a cone shape and tape. Trim around the base so the cone will stand flat. Next cut a flap in your tepee by making two cuts vertically about 2 inches long about 2 inches apart, then fold the tepee flat up. Stick drinking straws through the top if you want to have more support for your tepee. That's all there is to it! Decorate your tepee with some great Native American designs, pre-cut designs and shape, and any other materials from the ibc toolbox.
