Add layers of blankets to the floor between the chairs.
Line the walls of the fort with pillows and cushions.
Drape a sheet across the chairs to create a roof. Secure by placing heavy books on the edges of the sheet.
Secure dowels and broomsticks between couch cushions. Tie a string across them.
Drape another sheet across the dowels to create a second level of the fort. Secure the sheets together with clothespins or binder clips.
Use more dowels or sticks to raise the roof of the fort.
