Workplace has special meaning for any master. For some specialties, a desk is simply necessary. But what to do when you have to move frequently and work at different sites? You can’t drag a table from the workshop with you, and someone else’s work may simply not be available. There is definitely a way out, and today we will tell you about it.
Homemade products of this type are far from new. Furniture transformers were popular back in the last century. And the masters who emphasized such developments sometimes brought them to incredible functionality. The homemade product presented today is simple and at the same time very practical. This is a work table for small jobs with electrical, plumbing, etc. It is compact, lightweight, and does not take up much space. And transferring it from object to object will not be difficult at all. How to make it? Let's find out.

Required materials and tools

Materials:

• Inexpensive furniture board(grade 1-2);
• PVC pipe, diameter – 1 inch or 25 mm;
• PVC fittings (according to pipe size): 90° angle for attaching the mixer and internal thread– 4 pcs., simple clip – 16 pcs., solder plugs – 8 pcs., coupling with external thread and transition to a pipe – 4 pcs;
• Iron carrying handle;
• A piece of thin-walled furniture pipe, diameter – 25 mm;
• Bolts, nuts, washers, screws;
• Varnish or paint, brush.

Tools:

• Plumbing soldering iron or “iron”;
• Drill or screwdriver;
• Jigsaw;
• Sandpaper or sander;
• Drills, cross bit;
• Tape measure, pencil, ruler, plate or compass for marking the radius of curvature of the tabletop.

Let's start assembling the desktop

Making a countertop

For the tabletop canvas, the author chose pine furniture board. Plywood, OSB or chipboard are also suitable. Everyone can determine the dimensions themselves according to the purpose of their activity.

Advice!
It is worth paying attention to the placement of the legs under the table, the length of which is usually at least 70-75 cm. They should not stick out from behind the tabletop, which means its length should exceed this size.
We mark the tabletop, starting with the placement of PVC fastening corners with threads. We distribute them over the four corners of the canvas, taking into account that they will be rounded. The author chose bolts as hardware for fastening.

The middle of the underframe will not be in demand, so we mark the position of the clips on it. There should be four of them on each side. The interval between them can be minimal, and the distance from both alignment rulers should be less than the length of the legs.

The edges of the tabletop can be rounded using a jigsaw. To mark the radius, you can use a plate or compass. Sandpaper or a sander will help to process the sawn edges. Drill all marked holes with a drill or screwdriver.

Wood is not a very durable material, so it requires protective covering. The author chose yacht varnish, which he applied with a brush to both planes of the tabletop. To avoid leaving marks from the finishing stands, it can be hung on any suitable hook.

Making legs and drawers for the table

For the legs, the author chose a PVC pipe with a diameter of 25 mm. Its height must be calculated so that the coupling and plug fit in it. It is better to cut such a pipe with plumbing scissors, but a hacksaw will also work. For rigidity, you can insert metal furniture of suitable size into the PVC pipe.

It's time to do quality connection plumbing soldering iron or iron. We set the sleeves to the appropriate size, tighten them with a hex wrench and set the iron to heat up.
Next, we insert the pipe and fitting into opposite sleeves, heat them and tightly compress the heated ends, aligning the connection. Each of the four legs must have a plug and a male threaded coupling.
The drawbars are intended for fastening the legs together. This design allows for their placement at any level of the leg. They are also soldered with an iron, and are a piece of pipe with two plugs into which clips are screwed (photo). The author made only two of them, although the number may be greater.

Assembling table elements

The tabletop has dried, now you need to install the corners for the legs. We secure them to the bolts using washers. You can tighten the connection using a ratchet wrench with an appropriate attachment.
To fasten them together, we place the remains of the furniture pipe between them, tightly pressing them between the fixed corners.

After any repair or construction work There will always be some excess materials, fasteners, etc. building elements However, you shouldn’t throw them away at all. In this material we will tell you what can be done from plastic pipe, remaining after installing a sewer or water supply system, if you apply imagination and a little work, as well as some useful ideas.

In what areas are PVC pipe trimmings used?

For those who were involved in laying and installing water pipes from PVC pipes on their own, it became quite obvious that the process of fastening such sections together is quite simple. Moreover, you can create practical and useful crafts from PVC pipes, which in functionality will not differ from traditional ones, but their design will be modern and original.

Even if you do not have special woodworking equipment at your disposal, but you have a fairly broad imagination, armed with a tool for cutting plastic, glue and fastening links, you can create very useful device. And if the resulting frame is refined with some other materials, then you can get, for example, a beautiful and comfortable furniture.

In particular, to make a light chair, you need to cover the frame with fabric, and if you need to hang a shelf, you will need brackets. Be that as it may, crafts from propylene pipes will cost you much less than factory products.

Any homemade products PVC pipes fall into one of the following categories:

• solid - they are securely fastened with bolts and adhesive composition;
• folding ones are a kind of construct that, if necessary, can be disassembled and assembled independently.

Collapsible homemade devices PVC pipes are often classified as seasonal items. In principle, these can be any products - from folding chairs, gardening tools and decor, to gazebos, canopies, which can be used in summer time country or country holiday and disassemble for winter storage.

If we take into account already ready-made ideas, you can get quite presentable homemade products from polypropylene pipes with your own hands. They are not only practical and beautiful, but also durable and do not pose a threat to human health or the environment.

It should also be noted that, due to the availability of plastic pipes, if breakages or defects are detected in the product, the damaged fragment can always be replaced with a new one of the same diameter. In any case, such repairs will be cheaper than buying new furniture.

Manufacturing country crafts made of plastic pipes has many positive aspects:

• plastic does not need regular painting, although it is quite possible to decorate it with color;
• disassembled homemade designs very compact - for example, a carport or a children's room sleeping area will be neatly placed on the balcony or in the closet until spring;
• when heated, the polypropylene profile does not emit toxic substances, so it can be successfully used in the countryside in the summer;
• products made from this material have enough high level strength;
• thanks to the variety of sizes of plastic pipes, a wide variety of crafts can be made, and fastening elements - couplings, fittings - can always be found on sale;
• crafts from sewer pipes with your own hands is not only room for imagination and skill, but also an opportunity to create unique items for gifts to family and friends.

Of course, many children and adults will like original children's furniture, for example small chairs or even full-fledged armchairs. At the dacha, such products will organically fit into the surroundings, because they are beautiful, light, and easy to handle. And a do-it-yourself hanger made from PVC pipes, or a shelf for dishes, indoor flowers or books will only complement the resulting interior.

The characteristics of polypropylene pipes allow them to be used not only for water supply or sewerage installations, but also for the manufacture of seemingly unexpected items. So, by combining several pieces of profile, an electric cartridge and a cord, you can make a beautiful lamp.

Made from PVC pipes white You will get the following types of lamps:

• floor lamps;
• desk lamp;
• chandeliers with lampshades.

However, before starting work, we advise you to take care in advance that you have all necessary materials and tools. If you have pieces of pipe left over after repairs or friends gave them to you, then couplings and fittings of a suitable diameter will most likely need to be purchased. In addition, you will need a tape measure, a felt-tip pen, a drill, glue and screws. You also need to think about how you will bend the pipes. You may need other auxiliary materials for a number of crafts.

Examples of crafts made from PVC pipes for the home

From the waste polypropylene pipes left after construction in a city apartment, you can make many useful things.

Shoe shelves made of plastic profile

In the hallway of an apartment or house there is always the problem of compact shoe storage. Such a shelf can be made from plastic, determining its dimensions according to the parameters of the hallway.

The shoe rack can be made of 2 types:

• with short bars from which the heel sags;
• to the full width of the shoe.

Connecting elements can be done using:

• couplings mounted on glue;
• bolts;
• self-tapping screws

To get wide shelves, you can use:

• scraps of laminated panels;
• plastic;
• pieces of plywood, optionally decorated with color.

Standing coat rack

A hanger made by yourself from plastic pipes must be strong and stable. For these purposes, it is better to use medium-diameter pipes. Additional rigidity can be given to the central axis by inserting a wooden tool holder or metal rod into it. It will not allow the hanger to sag under the weight of clothes.

The base, which provides stability, can be made in the form of a cross or wide struts in the form of a triangle. But buy ready-made hooks, quite long. They need to be screwed in place in pairs on both sides of the pipe.

For wall hanger you will have to make a slightly different design, however, if the family is large enough, then both options will be very useful at the same time.

Flower stands and flowerpots

The stand in the form of a shelf made of PVC pipes can be made free-standing or wall-mounted. This will require pieces of glass or thin sheets plywood. However, it is undesirable for water from the pot to get on such a stand - stains and streaks will remain.

Tabletop vase and organizer for small items

From short pieces of pipe you can make convenient cups for small items on desk. And if you want to make a wall-mounted flower vase, you can use halves of wide sewer pipes.

By adding decor in your favorite color, as well as gold or silver plating, you can get a truly unique product. When inserting the plastic bottom of a vase, the seam must be sealed with silicone to ensure a tight seal.

Animal crafts

From pipes you can make not only an aviary for your favorite parrots, but also mazes for cats, a dog bed, and many other frame-type products for pets. A net is placed around the enclosure, having previously provided a door.

A suitable location for an aviary may be:

• hallway;
• space under the stairs;
• secluded niche;
• dead end corridor.

So that a domestic cat can exercise and stay in good shape, you can build a special labyrinth for it by covering pieces of pipe with a rope attached to glue. And you can build a comfortable bed for your dog by simply upholstering a plastic frame on short stands with a piece of thick fabric.

Children's furniture

For the table and chair, in addition to pipes, you will need soft upholstery with foam rubber for seating and a piece of laminate for the tabletop. You need to take care to securely fix the legs, and also calculate the height of the chair that is comfortable for the child.

You can make a crib or even a playpen out of plastic pipes. They are completely safe for children and quite acceptable for creating children's furniture (read: ""). For convenience, you can use standard sizes factory products.

Please note that although PVC is safe, all handrails need to be disinfected as children love to lick everything.

The variety of shapes and diameters of PVC pipes allows you to create truly original decor in your apartment.

In particular, they also make such crafts from sewer pipes as:

• laundry dryer;
• frame for a basket for dirty laundry or a box for household waste;
• baskets and niches for tools and small components;
• shelves for books, small computer equipment or mirrors;
• cases for sharp objects, e.g. kitchen knives;
• gift crafts;
• screens and screens to delimit areas of the room.

What can be made from PVC pipes for the dacha

Greenhouses and greenhouses

Making a greenhouse out of lightweight plastic and covering it with film is an idea that many gardeners will like, because this is a very necessary structure in the country.

In addition, you will need:

• rolled transparent slate;
• durable polyethylene film;
• polymeric materials permeable to sunlight.

The entrance at the end of the greenhouse can be equipped light door or a silicone curtain made of strips. Such a structure is temporary - it is installed in the spring, and for the winter it is collected and hidden in a shed (read also: " "). This is convenient because, if desired, you can move the greenhouse to any other place near the path. In addition, there is no need to pour a capital foundation, because the structure is very light.

Vineyard arches and gazebos

From the remains of plastic pipes you can build a convenient frame for climbing plants, for example, grapes or climbing roses. It looks beautiful and the plant feels good.

Alternatively, you can make from the same white PVC pipes summer gazebo for gatherings with tea. If you plant around it climbing plants, they will gradually fill the entire space of the lattice, creating cozy shade and coolness. Since plastic bends easily, it can be used to build a structure of any shape, just like metal or wood. And the gazebo will organically complement the garden exterior.

Stands and shelves for seedlings and flowers

To save space in a house where a lot of seedlings are grown, they can be placed in several tiers on a shelf made of polypropylene pipes. You just need to provide additional lighting by fixing it directly on the rack. Over time, the position of the spotlights will need to be changed so that the shoots are strong and even.

In the summer, on such a rack in the garden you can place flowering annuals which will give bright accent general decor.

Devices for vertical growing of plants

You can make a structure for vertical planting of strawberries from large-diameter pipes, drilling holes at equal distances for symmetry. Other structures are also relevant in the country, for example, hedges or all kinds of hydroponic structures, which will significantly save space if the area is small, and will also eliminate the need for frequent grueling weeding of berries.

Frames for hydroponic growing of plants in winter can be placed in the apartment, organizing an analogue of a winter garden.

Car awnings

At the dacha, the problem often arises of where to park the car so that it does not overheat in the sun or get wet in the rain. This design can be made from PVC pipes. It is light, aesthetic and quite reliable. You only need to stretch a camouflage mesh or flexible slate over the frame.

Country furniture

For your dacha, you can make not only a sofa swing from PVC pipes with your own hands, but also a lot of other garden furniture on which you can relax after working day in the garden. For example, very original solution there will be a plastic cart for delivering food to the barbecue or grill. Preferably all garden furniture produce in one color scheme so as not to be too diverse.

To combine the design, it is better to choose some general material For:

• upholstery of chairs and armchairs;
• countertops;
• awning covers.

Shower cabin

In the summer, it is quite possible to build a shower stall on the site. Its basis will be the same PVC pipe, which can be disassembled and stored in a secluded place for the winter. You need to attach a container to the top of the cabin to heat water from the sun, and stretch opaque material in the gaps between the frame grille. You can make an improvised heated towel rail inside the cabin.

Children's house

But children will really like the canopy equipped for them, where they can hide and play Interesting games. Such an awning can be made permanent or portable so that parents can keep an eye on their children.

In addition, such structures made of plastic pipes as:

• bicycle parking;
• storage space for tools;
• fencing for the site that does not require frequent repairs;
• dog enclosure;
• portable summer poultry house;
• design for a swimming pool made of thick film with a sun lounger.

Thus, handmade crafts for your home and garden will delight you not only with their appearance, originality and economy, but also ease of assembly and availability of materials. In addition, you will be able to unleash your creative potential and, at the same time, do something useful.

It's no secret that upon completion repair work the remaining materials end up in the house. Thrifty owners are in no hurry to get rid of these things. It turns out that you can make a lot of crafts from them.

Pieces of pipes and extra fittings are no exception. Crafts made from polypropylene allow you to realize any fantasies and make useful things for household use with your own hands.

We invite you to read the article.

How to use leftover polypropylene pipe materials in the garden

Crafts in the form of multi-tiered beds

DIY crafts made from polypropylene pipes turn out to be necessary and practical. This also happens when there is little space on the site. From such pipe-rolling products you can build beds consisting of many tiers.

Setting up a garden bed is not very difficult. Large-diameter pipe products are prepared for them. They are laid on the ground where they are cut top part. This is done along the entire length of the product. And holes are drilled from below at equal distances.

The bed blanks are attached to the installed frame, and a drainage layer and soil are poured into them.

These buildings do not occupy a large number of squares, the plantings in them do not create shade for each other, and they can be easily disassembled and assembled.

ADVICE. Such a bed can be built even on a balcony, and then the house will always have its own freshly harvested greenery.

Alcove

These structures on outdoors require good materials for construction, and PP blanks are ideal for this situation.

The design configuration can be anything, here everyone can realize their fantasies.

Plastic furniture

They have learned to use pipe-rolling materials in this area. Since polypropylene has a long service life, furniture made from it is durable. For those.

By adding a little imagination and creativity, you can design interesting and stylish furniture crafts that will decorate any room.

Shelves for the children's room

It cannot be carried away or knocked over strong wind. This dryer can be kept outdoors all the time, and it will not rust or rot. Convenient design makes it possible to move the dryer to the desired location at any time.

Hangers for clothes

This is the simplest product, requiring only three small pieces of polypropylene pipe. Two of them should be the same length, and the third should be 1/3 longer.

These three pieces must be strung on a strong rope, which should then be tied tightly. This results in an isosceles triangle. A wire hook is attached to the top of the triangle.

Pipe-rolling materials made of polypropylene have proven themselves with the most best side. This was facilitated by the environmental friendliness and durability of this material. Therefore, crafts made from polypropylene pipes are in great demand.

Simple installation allows anyone, adding a little imagination, to create a necessary household item that will be used for a very long time.

After construction and renovation, there is always a lot of waste left, most of which has nowhere to be disposed of. However, some garbage is not at all useless - for example, from plastic water pipes you can make simple and comfortable furniture with your own hands that will organically fit into the industrial interior of your home.

At the dacha, such household items are good because they are easy to assemble and disassemble, and due to their small mass, they are not difficult to move from place to place.

Advantages of plastic crafts

Is it worth bothering with PVC pipes if you can buy simple furniture in any store? Of course it’s worth it, because it will not only bring satisfaction from working with your own hands, but will also make life easier.

Products made from polypropylene pipes have many advantages:

1. Do-it-yourself assembly takes little time and does not require much effort - even a young mother or even a teenager can handle the job.
2. Furniture items made from plastic pipes are very light, which will not cause difficulties when rearranging.
3. Rigidity – pipes can withstand quite high loads.
4. Resistance to aggressive conditions, thanks to which products can be safely placed outdoors.
5. Wide space for design ideas– it’s easy to make simple chairs from PVC summerhouse, a small wardrobe, a children's bed or playhouse for babies.
6. Low cost - if a young family is just getting on its feet, you don’t have to spend money on expensive furniture and assemble it with your own hands from polypropylene water pipes available to everyone.

What will you need to make furniture?

Assembling PVC furniture with your own hands is not at all difficult - you will need a minimum set of tools, basic skills in working with them and a little creativity. The result will definitely be comfortable chairs, armchairs, shelves and even tables - the range of possible products is limited only by your imagination.

The assembly process will not take more than an hour for every subject - and this includes design. By the way, in order to quickly figure out how to shape this or that piece of furniture, you can see a variety of photographs on our website plastic products. For example, the photo above shows a very convenient and stylish rack for books and magazines, and when complemented with flat shelves, other items can be placed on it.

The minimum set of necessary tools is as follows:

• roulette;
• marker;
• hacksaw for metal.

Other items that can be found at any summer resident may also be useful - a file for smoothing cuts of plastic pipes, a drill, a soldering iron. But a level, for example, is not needed - all parts, as when assembling ordinary water pipes, will be connected with special fittings - from desired angle You won’t be able to deviate no matter how hard you want. Because of this feature of PVC products, separate fasteners - screws or glue - are not needed.

Important: despite the fact that working with products made from polypropylene pipes is very safe, you should use protective equipment - goggles and gloves.

Furniture assembly process

IN general outline assembling household items from polypropylene pipes is no different from any other work with this material. You should develop a project for the future product, select PVC pipes of suitable length and diameter, and you can begin assembling it yourself.

Let's look at the technology using the example of assembly simple chair for a summer residence - such as in the photo above. The process will consist of just a few steps:

1. Pipes of suitable size are selected; If you don’t find any, you can saw off the excess from plastic elements that are too long.
2. Using suitable fittings and a soldering iron, the frame of the product is assembled.
3. A soft seat will increase the comfort of using the chair. To make it, you need to take a suitable piece of not too thick plywood, put a square of foam rubber on top of it, which is then covered thick fabric. It must be larger than the plywood so that the edges can be stapled under the seat.
4. The seat is fixed to the frame with self-tapping screws.
5. If the furniture is still not comfortable enough, you can make a soft back in the same way.

Of course, the chair can have almost any shape. If you take PVC pipes of larger diameter and bend them using blowtorch, after attaching it to the legs from below, you can get a rocking chair. By extending the seat, you can get a comfortable and waterproof chaise lounge made of plastic pipes that you don’t have to constantly dry.

Other pieces of furniture are assembled in a similar way - clothes dryers, laptop stands, table frames and much more. The design can be very different, and you can improve it a little by painting the resulting product. For this it is best to use acrylic paint– it looks bright, has many shades and does not deteriorate when cleaning furniture.

Plastic items without fittings

There is no need to make crafts from water pipes in this industrial style. You can come up with products that will have no less functionality, but for assembly you will not need either fittings or a soldering iron.

So, from scraps of pipes of different diameters you can make a convenient organizer for various small things - office supplies and similar useful things. To do this, PVC pipes are cut at an angle and the cut end is screwed to a board that can be mounted on the wall. You can simply place the pipes on the table surface - in any case, you will get a very convenient device, as in the photo above.

In the same way, you can make design details of almost any piece of furniture. There are great options for plastic beds and coffee tables– a large number of polypropylene pipes of the same or different diameters are fastened close to each other, and a rigid sheet of plywood or other material is laid on top of them smooth material under the mattress, and in the case of a table, you can immediately install the tabletop. One of the options for such a bed is in the photo below.

In the event that there is rich fantasy, as well as a set of certain skills, then from almost any item you can make beautiful thing. Very often people make crafts from polypropylene pipes. The fact is that such material is produced in different diameters and is sold in almost any hardware store quite affordable prices. They can be used not only as a water supply and sewerage system, but also for making various crafts.

Advantages of plastic pipes

Those who do not have imagination will probably ask about what can be made from plastic pipes. And the answer will be quite extensive, because the material is suitable for assembling hundreds of different things.

It is worth noting right away that we are not talking about the direct purpose of a pipe product, but about the convenience that allows you to give a pipe various shapes. Plastic structures are quite light in weight, they are very strong and durable. They are easy to clean, and the pipes do not collect dust at all. Another positive thing is that these products are not afraid of water.

All crafts made from pipes are safe for absolutely all family members, including small children. They cannot be cut, they are light and do not emit any toxins harmful to the human body.

Usually for creative works PVC pipes are used, which can be easily connected using special adapter attachments. Thanks to this, it is possible to get quite unique and different designs. You can also use polypropylene pipes, but to make such crafts you need to purchase additionally welding machine, with which you need to connect the tubes. But the disadvantage is that after assembly, it will be quite difficult to disassemble them. In addition, the material will deteriorate after disassembly.

Connection of structures

Plastic is notable for the fact that not only various household appliances are made from it, but also furniture made from plastic pipes. In order for the structure to last for many years, you need to learn about ways correct connection individual segments. The option for connecting polypropylene pipes was indicated above, and therefore only PVC pipes should be considered.

Connection methods:

1. In a socket using rubber seals.
2. Using glue.
3. Using bolts and drilling holes.

The first method is the simplest, but it does not provide a strong enough connection. Before assembling the structure, it is necessary to completely clean the external and inner surface pipes that will be connected. All dust must be removed and then treated with a special silicone lubricant. The pipe must be inserted into the socket until it stops, and then very carefully pulled back about 1 cm. If you use this connection method, the pipes can subsequently be separated if it becomes necessary to change one of the parts.

The second option provides a more reliable fixation, but you will have to spend more time. First you need to sand the joining surfaces with sandpaper to achieve good adhesion. Afterwards, you need to use methylene chloride to degrease the pipes.

The adhesive composition must be applied along the entire length of the required area. After processing, the pipe can be inserted into the socket until it stops, and then turned a quarter turn. To happen good process gluing, the parts should be pressed very firmly and wait one minute. It is worth noting that all operations with glue must be done very quickly, since it dries quickly.

The last method is the longest and most labor-intensive, since you will have to first make markings, and then prepare the surface before carrying out the assembly process.

If there is a need to combine a corner joint, as well as connect several sections into one unit at once, it is best to use different fittings. A pipe structure can be made of absolutely any complexity if you use fittings and tees.

Original little things for decoration

Any person can make absolutely any design, even if he has never done handicrafts before. The positive thing is that to make crafts you need to use a minimum of materials, and in some cases only the shortest pieces are used.

Using large-diameter scraps, it is very convenient to construct various organizers that can be placed in a garage or office. Pens, scissors, rulers or knives are placed inside.

There are several options:

1. The workpiece can be attached to the wall using a self-tapping screw, for which one end of the segment must be cut at a certain angle.
2. If all the parts of the homemade product are glued together, you will get a fairly stable figure that can be moved to any place.

You can leave your homemade product in original color, or use additional coloring. Such an organizer can become an indispensable thing for schoolchildren or those people who often do needlework or various types creativity. With such a device you will always have at hand necessary tool, and there is perfect order on the table.

You can also convey comfort on your desk using a drawing tablet and a laptop stand. All this can also be easily made from PVC, which have a small diameter. You just need to remember what shape the school book stand had, and then using pipes and connecting parts give the same shape to the product.

Every home has bookshelves, which force a large amount of printed material. Typically, such devices have fairly standard shapes. But if you use your imagination, you can use pipes to create very original hi-tech book stands.

There is always a mirror in the apartment. Using short sections of pipes, you will have the option to make a very beautiful pattern that will decorate any mirror or photograph. The available number of rings must be glued together in advance according to the prepared layout, which is applied to a cardboard sheet. You can create a floral pattern or some kind of abstract shape. Frame sizes will be limited only by the amount of materials that can be used.

If you have a PVC pipe at home with a large diameter, then it is ideal for building a shelf in which you can put shoes. The shelf will have a large number of cells that are stacked on top of each other in any shape.

This design will not take up much space in the hallway, and you can store various pairs of shoes that you have in the house. The nice thing is that such a shelf can be built right up to the ceiling. For manufacturing it is necessary to use self-tapping screws or regular glue. To secure the structure to the wall, you can use plywood sheet, to which the parts will be glued. And the plywood itself can be easily attached to the wall using a few self-tapping screws.

You can also always build a simple hanger from polypropylene pipes with your own hands. To do this, you just need to connect three pieces of PVC.

Vases and pots

When there is a large number of indoor plants, then PVC pipes having large diameter, can be adapted for pots. On the one hand, you only need to seal one hole with plywood, and then drill holes in it for drainage system. Afterwards, soil will be poured into this structure and the plant will be planted. It will be interesting to look at the structure, which does not just stand on the floor in separate pots, but is connected and forms a certain abstract pattern.

From elongated cylinders that have a medium diameter, you can make a very beautiful vase in which beautiful artificial dried fruits or flowers are placed. If you approach the process creatively, you can give a beautiful gift to your loved one for any event. Such a vase will look very beautiful if you paste an old photograph on top.

Crafts for the garden

On summer cottage You can not only work, but also relax. But this will require creating the necessary conditions.

Homemade products for the garden:

Crafts for children

Quite often, grandparents bring their grandchildren with them to their summer cottage. But they are not interested in digging the ground, and therefore they will have to entertain the fidgets.

Equipment for children:

1. If children come to the dacha in the summer, you can entertain them and make football goals from PVC pipes. This will be a great option to spend time with the whole family playing football. Using tubes, the required shape is made, and then any piece of mesh that is available at the dacha is attached to it. If you don’t have it, you can purchase it at a hardware store. You will also need clamps that will hold the net on the gate. Plastic clamps are ideal for this.
2. Very interesting device is a bow made from a plastic pipe. There are types of tubes that bend very easily. This can be used. The main part of the bow is made from flexible plastic. You need to bend it a little, preheat it, and then tighten the rope, which will serve as a bowstring. You can bend the pipe using a hair dryer or using an open flame. As an arrow, you can use a regular shelf, or an increasingly tight pipe that has a smaller diameter.

Summarizing all of the above, we can conclude that PVC is quite universal remedy, which can be adapted not only for its intended purpose, but also to make very original things for the home or garden. The question of what can be made from polypropylene pipes will disappear after studying the options.
