Dexter Style "project" Tent ;)
Ok, I made this for another project of mine :
https://www.instructables.com/id/Scrap-table-take-2/
Basically I wanted to reduce the amount of wood chips that would endup on my furniture while using a planner and a sander.
I also wanted to keep stuff out from my project while I was staining and varnishing it!
When my roommate came in and saw what I had built it reminded him of the setup used by Dexter when he "goes to work" so I decided to name this the Dexter tent!

Materials
Most of this can be bought at the dolar store. I think that the whole project cost me less than 10$.
You will need :
- 4 Shower liners (5 if you want to close the top)
- Duct tape!
- thumb tacs/staples/pins/anything that can hold
- Metal wire (or any type of wire)
"Sewing"
This step is again pretty easy. Use duct tape to tape the edges of every curtain togheter. Be carefull with the last 2 sides as these will be used to create a doorway.
Creating the doorway isn't to complicated either.
Basically do the same thing as the side walls but only run the duct tape 1/4 of the way as to create an entry point.
Hanging Points
Next you're going to reinforce the anchor points by using simple duct tape folded back around the curtain holes and pierce with cisors.
Hang It!
Start from the middle (the doorway is the best place to start IMO.
I used staples on the ceiling as those would leave a barely noticable mark on it.
I used metal wire to hang the curtains from the staples to the reinforced holes.
And that's it.... very simple project tent!
