Plastic pipes are an excellent material from which you can collect not only pipelines, but also all kinds of crafts. Moreover, it is quite easy and simple to work with them, not to mention the fact that this procedure is very exciting. As an example, in this article I will give 10 of the most interesting ideas for using plastic pipes.

Features of making crafts from plastic pipes

Plastic pipes and fittings (angles and tees) in the hands of the master turn into a real designer, from which you can assemble any frame structures. The only thing you need to pay some attention to is the choice of pipes. For example, metal-plastic is not suitable for these purposes, since its bending strength is very low.

Therefore, it is best to use the following types of pipes:

Before gluing the PVC pipe to the fitting, you need to chamfer it to get rid of the burrs that can scrape off the glue during the connection of parts.

Homemade options

Option 1: Laptop stand

Let's start with the simplest, but nevertheless very useful product - a laptop stand. In the photo below we see how to make a stand from PVC pipes.

So, the instructions for making it are pretty simple:

first of all, measure your laptop so that the stand fits perfectly;
then cut the tubes according to the dimensions obtained:

2 tubes should be about 5 cm longer than the depth of the laptop;
1 tube should be 2-3 cm shorter than the width of the laptop;
2 short tubes - the height of the stand's rise depends on their length;

now glue the corners to two long tubes and connect them with short tubes, as a result of which 2 L-shaped parts should be obtained;
after that, glue the corners to the short tubes and connect the parts with the longest tube, which should be perpendicular;
then glue the corners to the two ends of the L-shaped parts, which will serve as limiters so that the laptop does not slide off the stand;
at the end of the work, the product can be painted in any color you like with aerosol paint.

Now it will be more convenient for you to work with your laptop, moreover, you can put it on your bed or sofa, and it will not overheat.

Option 2: sledges for children

Sleds made of plastic pipes are a more complex design, however, they are made in almost the same way as a laptop stand. therefore every craftsman can cope with the task.

To make a sled, you will need the following materials:

two pipes with a diameter of 40 mm;
tips for pipes 40 mm;
pipes with a diameter of 25 mm;
tees and angles at 90 and 45 degrees for pipes with a diameter of 25 mm.

Sleds are made as follows:

start by preparing your drawing. In the basis of the design, use any sled in the photo above. The main task of the drawing is to indicate the dimensions of all parts, which will simplify and speed up further work;
then make runners from forty pipes. To do this, mark the places of their bend with a pencil and heat it over an open fire, rotating the pipe along the axis. When the plastic softens, the ends should be bent so that the runners slide easily over the snow and do not burrow.
It is desirable to bend the runners not only in front, but also behind. After that, plugs must be put on the finished runners;
now you need to assemble the upper part of the sleigh, i.e. the frame to which the seat will be attached. The frame must have stands for connecting to the runners.
This design is a rectangle with stiffening ribs in the form of lintels. Use tees to mount jumpers and racks;
if a small child will ride on a sled, be sure to also make a back. To do this, use short tube cuts and 45 degree corners;
when the frame is ready, you need to connect it to the runners. To do this, install it on the runners and mark out, marking the holes into which the racks will be inserted;
now drill holes of the required diameter so that the racks can enter them;
after that, connect the runners with the posts by inserting them into the holes until they stop. To fix the racks in the runners, use self-tapping screws;

at the end of the work you need to make a seat. For this you can use wooden slats, which are screwed to the frame with self-tapping screws or planks.

This completes the sled making process.

Option 3: shelving

Another simple and quite useful design in the household is a rack. It can come in handy in the garage, for storing all sorts of little things, in the country or even in an apartment, in order to conveniently arrange conservation in the pantry.

The rack manufacturing process is extremely simple:

start work with the execution of the drawing, indicating the dimensions of all parts;
then, according to the drawing, assemble the racks and connect them with jumpers using tees;
now install the rack and lay the boards on the jumpers, which will serve as shelves;
if the rack is high, you need to provide brackets for fixing the structure to the wall.

Option 4: snowshoes

We figured out how sleds for children are made, now we will consider how to make snowshoes with our own hands from plastic pipes for adults. To do this, you will need the following materials:

2 pipes with a diameter of 20-30 mm and a length of one and a half meters;
nylon cord 4-5 mm thick - 40-50 meters;
elastic band for fixing the foot.

The snowshoe making process is as follows:

cut a piece 200 mm long from each tube;
on long workpieces in the middle, apply a mark and heat them in this place over an open fire, for example, over a gas burner;

when the plastic softens, the pipes should be bent around a cylindrical object, for example, you can use a kettle for this purpose. Wherein in the process of bending, do not apply much force, it is better to heat the workpiece again so that it does not crack;
heat the resulting sock again and give it an angle of approximately 120-130 degrees. Do the same with the ends of the pipes;

now both ends of the pipe should be connected. To connect pipes, you can use self-tapping screws;
after that, sand the frame of the snowshoes so that the surface is rough;

now you need to weave a nylon cord mesh on the frame. You can connect the nodes according to the scheme above.

In the process of making the mesh, you need to tie a jumper to the snowshoes. When finished, tie the rubber bands to secure the snowshoes to your leg.

The size of snowshoes depends on the size of your foot. With a foot size of 42, a snowshoe with a length of about 60 cm and a width of about 25 cm is sufficient.

Option 5: catamaran

Fans of outdoor activities can be recommended to make a homemade catamaran from plastic pipes. This design is based on large diameter external sewer pipes. They should be about two meters long.

The manufacturing process of this product looks like this:

place the three pipes at the same distance from each other and connect them with pipes of a smaller diameter using clamps or other fasteners. The distance between the two outermost sewer pipes should be about one and a half meters;
then glue the plugs on both sides of the pipes. To reduce the resistance of the floats, “bend” them in front, using the corners at 45 degrees;
on the base of the tubes connecting the floats, lay wooden shield, which will serve as a deck;
a seat should be fixed to the shield, which can be made from boards.

On this catamaran is ready. This swimming facility is perfect for fishermen, as well as for those who like walking on water.

Use the kayak paddles to steer the catamaran. Of course, if you wish, you can design and implement a more complex design with pedal-driven blades.

Option 6: tent

The tent is made on the same principle as all other structures - it uses pipes and fittings. The only thing is that the parts do not need to be glued or soldered to make the products collapsible. Another feature is that you will have to sew an awning, for example, from tarpaulin or other suitable canvas.

The construction process looks like this:

to make it easier to work, draw a drawing showing the dimensions of all parts and the location of the fittings. The design of the tent is quite simple - the base is a rectangle to which four posts are attached at the corners.
The roof is attached to the posts from above. If the roof is gable, then to assemble it you will need 45 degree fittings;

after that, cut the tubes into parts of the desired length;
now, from the received parts and fittings, assemble the frame according to the drawing;
then you need to make an awning. To do this, cut the material into canvases for each side of the tent, as well as the roof, and then sew them;
now slide the resulting awning over the tent to make sure the job is done correctly.

Use good quality fittings for your tent so they hold the pipes firmly and don't crack.

Option 7: making a velomobile

For those who like to design and invent, we can recommend making a velomobile. True, note that for its manufacture you will need more durable pipes than for the products described above.

An excellent solution is 1/4 inch diameter PVC pipes with metal reinforcement. However, it is almost impossible to find such material on the domestic market. It can be replaced with 40 mm PVC-U pipes intended for swimming pools, although their disadvantage is the high price of fittings.

In addition, ordinary polypropylene reinforced pipes can be used, inside which metal pipes of a suitable diameter are inserted. Another option to increase the strength of the pipes is to fill them with polyurethane foam.

The process of making the frame of a velomobile is not complicated. The structure is assembled according to the same principle as all other products - the tubes are connected using fittings and thus the frame is assembled.

The most difficult part of this task is to securely fasten the metal parts - the wheel axles and the drive. To do this, use metal plates that can be bolted to the frame. To screw the bolt into the pipe, use the bushings that are glued in.

As for the mechanical part, all parts are used from the bicycle. The only thing is, you can use the electric motor, as shown in the photo above. In this case, an electric drive is installed on one rear wheel, and a mechanical drive on the second.

To implement a mechanical drive in the front, an axle with bends in the form of pedals should be located, as in the photo below. This axle, in turn, transmits the torque to the "sprocket", and then everything is like a normal bicycle.

These are, in fact, all the main nuances of making a velomobile. For other design tasks, you will surely find solutions yourself.

Option 8: zherlitsa

If you love fishing and experiment with different tackle, then you will surely be interested in this idea of \u200b\u200busing a plastic pipe, which consists in making a summer vest. To do this, you will need a piece of sewer pipe with a diameter of 32 mm and a length of 10 cm, as well as a fishing line, a hook and a sinker.

The zherlitsa is made from a plastic pipe as follows:

remove the edges from both ends of the workpiece;
then drill a hole with a diameter of about 5 mm, stepping back from the edge about 1.5 cm. This hole will be used as a line stopper;
now drill a through hole on the opposite side of the workpiece, i.e. there should be two holes in the tube opposite each other;
now you need to equip the workpiece. To do this, tie a suspension from a fishing line to two opposite holes (for hanging a vents). The hanger should end with a noose loop;
now tie a line to one hole and wind it around the tube. 10 meters will be enough;
at the end of the fishing line, you need to put on a sliding sinker, and also tie a tee hook;
to fix the fishing line in working position, put a tight rubber ring on the workpiece.

Now the tackle is ready, it remains to prepare the bait and go to the nearest suitable reservoir to check it in operation.

Option 9: folding chair

If you liked the previous version of using a plastic pipe, then a folding one will certainly come in handy. Moreover, it is made extremely simply and quickly:

from tubes and corners, assemble a rectangle with dimensions of about 40X30 cm, if you wish, you can make the chair even more compact;
now collect the second rectangle of the same size. Its height should be the same, and its width should be several centimeters less so that it can fit tightly into the first rectangle;
now in the center of the long sides of each rectangle, drill holes opposite each other;
then connect both parts with bolts;
at the end of the work, sew a rag seat, as in the photo above.

As a result, you have a lightweight and compact chair that you can even put in a backpack.

Option 10: a waterfall for kids

As you know, children are very fond of splashing in the water on hot summer days. Therefore, if you have a summer house, do not deny them such pleasure and make a waterfall.

The design of this device is extremely simple. It is a U-shaped frame. In the crossbar of this frame from below, you need to drill small holes through which the water jets will fall down.

To keep the crossbar stable on the ground, attach the legs from below, perpendicular to the frame, as shown in the photo above. Attach a hose nipple or threaded fitting to one of the legs. Install plugs on the other ends of the legs.

Now the waterfall is ready, it remains only to connect the water to it. For these purposes, you can use a summer shower tank or install a special container where the water will be heated under the rays of the sun.

Output

From plastic pipes, as we found out, you can make many interesting and useful crafts... We have considered as an example only 10 options for their use. However, if you strain your imagination a little, you will surely discover a lot of other, no less interesting ideas.

From the video in this article, you can get additional information how sleds are made from plastic pipes. If some points are not entirely clear to you, ask questions in the comments, and I will be happy to answer you.

With skill and a rich imagination, interesting and useful things can be made from any available materials, including plastic pipes.

Plastic pipes of different diameters are sold in any hardware store for quite affordable prices... They are used for plumbing, sewerage, heating, irrigation systems, and after construction or repair, unnecessary trimmings often clog up the site, while they can serve as an excellent material for creative crafts.

Do not rush to take out construction waste to the landfill - we will tell you what can be done from a plastic pipe to turn excess leftovers into beautiful and functional interior items.

Why is a plastic pipe good?

We will not talk about the intended purpose of the product, but about the convenience of using varieties of plastic pipes precisely as a material for crafts. Plastic pipes are lightweight, strong and durable enough. They are dirt-resistant, dust-free and easy to clean. Products made of plastic pipes are safe to use even by young children (they do not break, do not have heavy weight, do not emit toxins).

For creative works more often they use PVC pipes, which are quite rigid and easily connected with special nozzles and "adapters", allowing to obtain collapsible structures. Polypropylene pipes can also be used, but you will need a special one to connect them welding machine or compression fittings, and the finished products cannot be disassembled.

Methods for connecting pipes in structures

Plastic pipes can be used to make not only convenient household items, but also pieces of furniture. To such homemade product served for a long time and was reliable in operation, you need to take care of the correct connection of individual segments. Since it has already been said about the connection of polypropylene pipes, we will consider joining only PVC pipes.

PVC plastic pipes can be connected in the following ways:

in a bell with a rubber seal;
using an adhesive composition;
bolted, drilling holes.

The first method of connection is characterized by simplicity, but insufficient rigidity. Before connecting, it is recommended to clean the inner and outer surfaces of the pipes at the joint from dust particles and to treat the inserted part of the pipe with silicone grease. First, the pipe is inserted into the socket until it stops, after which it is carefully pushed back by 0.7 - 1 cm. The structures assembled in this way can be subsequently dismantled, which is convenient for seasonal products.

The second method of assembling pipes is characterized by reliable fixation and greater labor intensity. Joining work begins with sanding the mating surfaces of the socket and pipe for better adhesion. Then they must be degreased with methylene chloride. The adhesive is applied along the entire length of the prepared outer surface of the pipe and 2/3 of the length of the inner surface of the socket. At the end, the pipe is inserted into the socket until it stops and turned a quarter of a turn. For gluing, you need to press the parts for 1 minute. For good fixation, all operations to connect two segments must be carried out quickly enough. The connected elements are left for several hours until the adhesive is completely dry.

The third method is more laborious, since it requires marking and preparation of holes, but it allows you to get collapsible structures with a reliable connection.

It is convenient to use a variety of fittings for corner joints and connection of several segments at once in one node. Plastic pipe structures can be of any complexity using numerous tees and fittings. Consider useful homemade products in ascending order of complexity of execution.

Original and functional little things for interior decoration

Our overview of interesting ideas is opened by the simplest products from a plastic pipe, which can be made even by novice craftsmen of homemade art. In addition, such crafts will require a minimum amount of material, and in some cases even the shortest cuts can be used.

Large and medium-sized pipe scraps can be used to make a convenient and practical organizer for a study or workshop.

Two versions are possible here:

fastening with self-tapping screws to a wall or table, for which one end of the segment is cut off at an angle - a stationary option;
gluing segments together to form a stable figure - a portable option.

Sections can be left white or gray, or painted in your favorite color. Such an organizer is indispensable for schoolchildren and people engaged in creativity and needlework. With him, everything will always be at hand, and the table is in perfect order.

Additional comfort on the desktop is provided by a drawing tablet and a laptop stand, which can be made from small diameter polypropylene pipes.

Bookshelves are a special feature of the interior. Their presence in a certain way characterizes the owner of the home. Corner shelf in high-tech style will not be ignored.

From numerous short cuttings of different diameters, you can make a patterned frame for a mirror or photograph. It is enough to glue the cut rings according to a previously prepared layout, which can be applied to a sheet of cardboard. It could be floral patterns or something abstract. The dimensions of the frame will depend on the amount of suitable material.

Large-diameter cuttings can be used to create a comfortable shoe shelf with numerous compartments. This design will not take up much space in the corridor and will ensure that shoes are stored properly and quickly find the right pair. The connection of the elements is carried out using glue or self-tapping screws. To fix the shelf to the wall, you can use a plywood sheet to which the assembled shelf is first glued.

Some crafts made from PVC pipes will really appeal to lovers of fresh flowers. A reliable flower stand is easy to design and looks cute.

Small cuts of sewer pipes are well suited for making flower pots for transplanting or breeding indoor pets. Having shown imagination, such pots can be decorated with colored paper, paint or bright stickers.

It is easy to make a stylish vase for artificial flowers and dried flowers from elongated cylinders of medium diameter. If you approach the implementation of this idea creatively, then an original gift for a significant event may come out.

Another extraordinary idea for the interior is homemade techno lamps. There are a lot of options, but they all adhere to the principle of minimalism: no unnecessary details.

With the help of unused scraps, you can also make useful things in the hallway or corridor: a hanger for clothes and bags and a holder for trash bags.

Crafts from plastic pipes for the playground

PVC pipes can be used to make many crafts for children's entertainment in the yard: a developing rug, arena, swing, sled, football goal, play house, outdoor shower and theater screen.

A very useful design for babies is a playpen made of PVC pipes.

Kids will love the light swing that dries up instantly after a warm summer rain.

In winter walks, homemade sleds will be the most reliable and fastest. The design turns out to be quite complex, but you can figure it out with the help of practical videos.

For active games in the yard, you can make a safe football goal from the remains of plastic pipes.

Many children often dream of a miniature castle of theirs. Making childhood dreams come true is quite simple and not expensive at all. The frame is made very quickly. It remains to choose a beautiful dense fabric for the roof and walls, and the house is ready!

The following structure will help you freshen up on a hot summer day. Such an open shower will be a joy not only for children, but also for adults.

You can make a theater screen from polypropylene pipes. It is enough to collect 3 frames, connect them together and close them with beautifully designed curtains. Home theater develops children's creativity and creates good conditions for an exciting pastime.

We update the interior economically: furniture made of plastic pipes

DIY crafts from plastic pipes can occupy a key place in the interior. Craftsmen share many extraordinary solutions that can significantly save the family budget. Let's light up the brightest ones.

The most common and demanded piece of furniture is a chair. Using pieces of plastic pipes and connecting elements, you can make high-quality chairs of different types: for children, folding for hiking and fishing, armchairs and even high chairs.

Having mastered the assembly technique a little, you can proceed to more complex designs. A neat bunk crib made of polypropylene pipes is a good alternative for country house or summer cottages when buying a ready-made bed is too expensive. Moreover, when the kids grow up, the material can be used to make other useful crafts.

The glass coffee table with a PVC pipe base in the next photo can hardly be called an amateur homemade product, since it looks like a designer's work.

One more original idea - a rack for the hallway or living room. Having independently designed a rack with the right number of shelves of the required size, you can avoid wasting time on shopping trips in search of something suitable.

Useful crafts for a country house and a summer residence

Unused and superfluous building materials will surely find application for summer cottage... Crafts from plastic pipes for summer cottages will significantly facilitate gardening work, make rest more comfortable and help to avoid large material costs. At the same time, the designs look neat and stylish.

Small lengths and a few tees can make a pretty clothes and towel dryer. It is easy to clean and does not corrode.

Relaxing by the pool or in the shade of the garden is impossible without a sun lounger. The photo shows a chaise longue, which consists entirely of plastic pipes, but can be combined with dense fabric.

Carport is another one useful application PVC pipes. It will protect vehicles not only from rain, but also from the scorching summer sun.

For garden decor is often used garden arch, which can also be made of plastic pipes. A new element appears in its design - bent arcs. It is possible to bend pipes for an arched vault by heating with a gas burner or boiling water. You can also put the pipe on a metal rod and, sticking one end of it into the soil, bend it in an arcuate way. This method requires some physical effort.

A simple and light gazebo will decorate the garden and protect from the sun and light rain. For the presented option, it is enough to fasten a waterproof raincoat fabric to the pipes and bend them on the reinforcing rods. In order for the design to be reliable, you need to take care of good fixation of the rods in the soil.

The range of applications for plastic pipes is truly huge and limited only by your imagination and needs. Need a small woodshed, gate, trolley or fishing rod stand - take required amount pipes and bring your idea to life.

It is easy to make a convenient chicken feeder from sewer pipes. It is very convenient to add grain with it without going into the corral. Chickens cannot rake grain in such feeders, which saves feed.

A small greenhouse at a summer cottage can also be made from plastic pipes. The easiest option is to make a rectangular frame and cover it with foil or agrofiber.

A more serious structure - a seasonal greenhouse - will require more time and material. It is better to connect the elements with bolts so that it is possible to disassemble the structure for winter period... The optimal shape of the greenhouse is arched. To create it, the ends of the pipes are put on half-meter metal rods driven into the sides of the future greenhouse every meter. The size of the greenhouse depends on the intended use. The greenhouse can be installed on a foundation or on the ground. As a covering material, you can use a film, polycarbonate or agrofiber.

Plastic sewer pipes can also be used as a container for growing flowers, herbs and vegetables. They are often used to create vertical vegetable gardens.

To fence the site, you can use a low fence made of plastic pipes, which is durable and minimal in maintenance (it does not need to be painted annually).

The use of plastic pipes is not limited to the ideas presented. This material is so versatile and easy to assemble (easy to cut, bend, has a variety of connecting parts) that it is simply impossible to ignore it in your home workshop.

At the moment, many people have PVC pipes in their household. If they have already bored you, then in no case try to throw them away and change them to others. They have a host of benefits.

First of all, one cannot fail to note the pleasant white color... It is perfect for creating interesting products. In addition, the most common glue can be used to hold the elements together. If you do not glue everything, then this is even for the best one. You will receive a kind of LEGO constructor. consider interesting ideasthat you might like. You yourself may think what you will do, just show your imagination.

Just look at the high chair pictured below. You will probably want to build it. The temptation is very great.

A folding chair can be made from one pipe without any problems. It is perfect for a picnic.

Do you want everything to look organic? Then just create a set of several chairs and a table from the same pipes.

The children's bunk bed will also turn out to be excellent. But you have to choose pipes optimal diameterso that the load is distributed.

You can do bigger things too. In particular, a hanging swing, on which you can have a great time in the country.

Are there only leftovers from PVC pipes? Then you can simply add a bottom to them and store pens, pencils and much more. It all looks very creative.

Building a house or renovating an apartment is always accompanied by a bunch of leftovers from consumable... Pipeline repair is also no exception, because after replacing metal pipes with plastic ones, there are many scraps, as well as connecting elements - fittings, which many owners simply throw away.

However, there are also such creative people who can make durable and original furniture from such trash, for example, tables or chairs, as well as other household items such as an organizer. In this article, we will take a closer look at some of these ideas from PVC pipes.

DIY children's chair made of plastic pipes

Polypropylene is a hypoallergenic and non-toxic material, so you can make various children's furniture from it without worrying about the health and well-being of the child. Embodying ideas from plastic pipes with your own hands, you can easily assemble a table, playpen, chair, etc.

One of these simple projects can be a comfortable highchair, which is assembled from pipes and fittings like a designer. The size of each detail will depend on the size of the desired result, but below we provide instructions on how to make a chair for a five-year-old child.

To make a highchair, you will need the following materials and tools:

PVC adhesive;
Approximately 3 meters of polymer pipe;
6 T-shaped fittings;
8 corner fittings (90 °);
Durable fabric;
Saw with a fine tooth;
Sewing machine;
Scissors.

Building a chair:

The first step is to cut the pipe into pieces: 7 pieces. 33 cm each (A), 4 pcs. 20 cm each (B), 4 pcs. 13 cm each (C) and 2 pcs. 18 cm each (D);
Take two pieces A and secure at all ends along the corner fitting;
Insert all B elements into each of the fittings;
On each element B, put on T-shaped connectors, unscrewing their perpendicular part perpendicular to element A;
Connect the T-fittings in pairs with the elements A. As a result, you should get parallel chair legs;
Insert all C elements into the free ends of the fittings;
Next, you need to put the structure so that the ends of the legs "look" at you;
Take two corner fittings and slide them over the C parts closest to you;
Slip the two T-pieces onto the C pieces farther away from you, turning them so that the center connections are facing you;
Next, you need to connect the inserted fittings with parts A parallel to the legs of the chair;
Insert parts D into the free ends of T-shaped fittings and put corner fittings on them, turning them "face" to each other;
We connect them with element A, ending the back of the chair;
Make a seat out of fabric by pulling it between the parallel bars;
Glue all connections, then let the chair dry.

Office table with plastic frame

Buying even the cheapest office desk can be a big problem for some people, so here's how to make a desk out of plastic pipes. This project differs from the previous one in its complexity, so you will have to think over some parts on your own, but we will try to explain everything to you as much as possible.

First of all, you need to decide on the size of the table. In our case, we take a finished countertop (915x2030 mm), under which we will assemble the frame. When choosing a tabletop for your own table, pay attention to its weight and follow the rule: the less weight, the better for your table. The best solution for a countertop is a hollow door leaf... You can also assemble the countertop yourself using flat boards, fasteners, a saw and a drill.

First of all, prepare 12 meters of plastic pipe and cut it into the following parts:

5 pieces of 7.5 cm;
10 segments of 30 cm;
4 pieces of 50 cm;
And 4 pieces of 75 cm.

Of the other parts for the frame, you will need the following:

4 T-shaped fittings;
4 four-way fittings;
2 cross fittings;
10 caps for pipes and fittings.

Having prepared everything necessary details, you can begin to assemble a table from polypropylene pipes. The first assembly is best done without the use of glue, and after assembly, glue all joints one by one. Start the assembly by designing the sides of the frame on which the tabletop will rest.

Next, assemble the back, which will connect the two already assembled. To give the table additional stability, we recommend making a third leg for the back wall. When assembling the table, carefully monitor the parallelism of all elements in order to end up with an even structure.

At the final stage, it is necessary to connect all the parts into a single structure, having received the table frame. Check it for strength, correct irregularities, and then glue all connections.

To secure the countertop:

Place the countertop on the floor, turning it face down;
Place the frame on top so that the top plugs fit snugly against the tabletop;
Circle the adjacent plugs;
Disconnect the plugs from the pipe and screw them to the tabletop at the marked places;
Install the table frame, and lay the table top on it so that all the plugs fall into place.

As a result, you will have an excellent DIY PVC pipe table. This material is so versatile that you can even make a PVC pipe bow that works fine.

Shelves for giving

After repairs, not only polypropylene pipes may remain in the house, but also metallic profile, from which you can try to make a rack for giving without the use of welding. To work we need only a tape measure, a pencil, a screwdriver and a hacksaw for metal.

First of all, it is necessary to design the future rack. Draw a diagram on paper, observing all dimensions. Then you can buy a profile to the existing one, as well as find several sheets of plywood 15 mm thick. You can also make a do-it-yourself PVC pipe rack using the profile diagram.

Let's analyze the manufacturing process using a specific example:

Take the profile and cut it into pieces: 4 vertical posts, 8 front and 8 rear crossbars;
Collect 4 frames that should become shelves in the future;
Using self-tapping screws, fix the resulting frames on vertical posts;
If you wish, you can screw the rack to the wall and paint it, after which, lay the plywood on the frames, making shelves.

Various elements of interior PVC pipes

For interior decoration, as well as creating useful constructions made of PVC pipes, very short pipe lengths can be used. So, organizers can be made from short pipes, where shoes, writing utensils and other small things can be folded into the holes.

You can also easily make wine shelves from PVC pipes with your own hands. To do this, simply glue a few pipes together and screw the resulting structure to the wall. This is how you can make a glass holder. To do this, it is enough to cut the plastic pipe lengthwise, and then fix it on the wall. The stem of the glass fits perfectly into the cut hole, and the rigidity of the polymer pipe does not allow it to fall out.

If your home does not have enough space for outerwear, then a plastic pipe hanger is an excellent solution to this problem. You can design and assemble such a hanger, starting from examples with a table and a children's chair.

In conclusion, I would like to say that plastic pipes are cheap and light raw materials for creating various decorative elements. Any item you create can always be painted, covered with glitter, or decorated with various elements, for example, shells glued to the glue. Polypropylene rings can also be used for seasonal decoration of an apartment, for example, under new Year You can do wall panel and fill it with New Year's paraphernalia, for example, balls and figurines.

As you can see, in order to create a cozy atmosphere and decorate an apartment, it is not necessary to spend a large amount of money, because the main thing is a creative approach that will allow you to create the desired result with minimal costs.
