First, put the White Sleepover Tent together according to instructions. Once the tents are assembled, lay the Pink Glitter Pennant Banner over the top of the tent at the entrance. Face the flags backward so they don't cover up the tent entrance. Secure the banner in place with glue dots.

Next, cut out star, moon and heart shapes out of vinyl and adhere them to the sides of the tents according to your preference. If you own a vinyl cutting machine you can just use some of the basic shape settings to cut out your stars, moons and hearts.

Add a fun cutout from the Slumber Party Decor Kit to the side of each tent with glue dots. These cutouts have the best sayings like, "Besties," "Pillow Fight" and "No Sleeping Allowed!" Your child may want to choose which one goes on each person's tent like mine did!

Punch a hole on each side of the star, thread ribbon or twine through the holes and hang the finished star on the tent. The star doubles as a lovely take-home gift for each child!
