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 cite 10 of the most interesting ideas the use of plastic pipes.

Features of making crafts from plastic pipes

Plastic pipes and fittings (corners 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 you glue 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 process of joining the 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:

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

• 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;

1. 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;
2. after that, glue the corners to the short tubes and connect the parts with the longest tube, which should be perpendicular;
3. 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;
4. 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. That's why every craftsman will be able to cope with the task.

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

• two pipes with a diameter of 40 mm;
• lugs 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:

1. start by preparing a 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.;
2. then make runners from forty pipes. To do this, mark the places of their bending with a pencil and warm up on open fire rotating the pipe along the axis. When the plastic has softened, the ends should be bent so that the runners slide easily over the snow and do not burrow.
   It is advisable to bend the runners not only in front, but also behind. After that, plugs must be put on the finished runners;
3. 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;
4. if sledging Small child, also make sure to make the backrest. To do this, use short tube cuts and 45-degree corners;
5. 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;
6. now drill holes of the required diameter so that the racks can enter them;
7. after that, connect the runners with the uprights, inserting them into the holes until they stop. To fix the racks in the runners, use self-tapping screws;

1. at the end of the work you need to make a seat. To do 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 process of making a rack is extremely simple:

1. start work by completing the drawing, indicating the dimensions of all parts;
2. then, according to the drawing, assemble the racks and connect them with jumpers using tees;
3. now install the rack and lay the boards on the jumpers, which will serve as shelves;
4. 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:

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

1. when the plastic softens, bend the pipes 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;
2. Warm up the resulting sock again and give it an angle of approximately 120-130 degrees. Do the same with the ends of the pipes;

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

1. 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 elastic bands to secure the snowshoes to your leg.

The size of the snowshoes depends on the size of your feet. 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

For lovers active rest in nature, you can recommend making a homemade catamaran out of plastic pipes. This design is based on external sewer pipes. large diameter... They should be about two meters long.

The manufacturing process of this product looks like this:

1. 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;
2. 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;
3. on the base of the tubes connecting the floats, lay a wooden shield that will act as a deck;
4. a seat should be fixed on the shield, which can be made from boards.

On this catamaran is ready. This swimming facility is perfect for fishermen, as well as just lovers of walking on the water.

Use the paddles from the kayak 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 according to the same principle as all other structures - pipes and fittings are used in its basis. The only thing is that the parts do not need to be glued or soldered to make the product 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:

1. 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 you will need 45 degree fittings to assemble it;

1. then cut the tubes into parts of the desired length;
2. now from the received parts and fittings, assemble the frame according to the drawing;
3. 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;
4. now slide the resulting awning over the tent to make sure the job is done correctly.

For tent use quality fittings so that they firmly hold the pipes and do not crack.

Option 7: making a velomobile

For those who like to design and invent, we can recommend making a velomobile. Truth, please 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 the 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 in performing this task is to securely fasten the metal parts - the axles of the wheels, 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 the parts are used from the bike. 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 positioned, as in the photo below. This axle, in turn, transmits torque to the "sprocket", and then everything is like a regular 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 ​​using 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:

1. remove the edges from both ends of the workpiece;
2. 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;
3. 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;
4. now you need to equip the workpiece. To do this, tie a suspension from a fishing line to two opposite holes (for hanging a girdle). The suspension must end with a noose loop;
5. now tie a line to one hole and wind it around the tube. 10 meters will be enough;
6. at the end of the line you need to put on a sliding sinker, and also tie a tee hook;
7. 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 test it in operation.

Option 9: folding chair

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

1. from tubes and corners, assemble a rectangle with dimensions of about 40X30 cm, if you wish, you can make the chair even more compact;
2. now collect the second rectangle of the same size. Its height should be the same, and its width should be a few centimeters less so that it can fit snugly into the first rectangle;
3. now drill holes opposite each other in the center of the long sides of each rectangle;
4. then connect both parts with bolts;
5. 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 cottage, 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 jets of water 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, all that remains is 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.

In the event that you have a rich imagination, as well as a set of certain skills, then you can make a beautiful thing from almost any object. 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 by quite affordable prices... They can be used not only as a water supply and sewerage structure, but also for the manufacture of various crafts.

The advantages of plastic pipes

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

It should be noted right away that we are not talking about direct appointment products from pipes, but about the convenience that allows you to give the pipe various shapes. Plastic constructions are fairly lightweight, they are very strong and durable. They are easy to clean and the pipes do not collect dust at all. On the plus side, these products are not afraid of water.

All pipe crafts are safe for absolutely all family members, including small children. You cannot cut yourself with them, 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 nozzles. Thanks to this, it is possible to get quite peculiar and different designs. You can also use polypropylene pipes, but for the manufacture of such crafts, you need to purchase an additional welding machine, with which you need to connect the pipes. 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 pieces of furniture made of plastic pipes. In order for the structure to serve for many years, you need to learn about how to correctly connect individual segments. The option for connecting polypropylene pipes was indicated above, and therefore only PVC pipes should be considered.

Connection methods:

1. In the socket with rubber seals.
2. With glue.
3. Using bolts and drilling holes.

The first method is the simplest., but it does not give a strong enough connection. Before assembling the structure, it is necessary to completely clean the outer and inner surfaces of the pipes that will be connected. All dust must be removed, and then treated with a special silicone grease. The pipe must be inserted into the socket as far as it will go, and then very carefully push it back about 1 cm. If this connection method is used, then the pipes can be subsequently disconnected if it becomes necessary to change one of the parts.

The second option provides a more secure fit., but you will have to spend more time. First you need to process the mating surfaces with sandpaper in order to achieve good adhesion. Then methylene chloride must be applied 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 of a turn. To make it happen good process gluing, the parts should be pressed very firmly and wait so one minute. It is worth noting that all operations with glue must be done very quickly, since it dries quickly.

The latter method is the longest and most time consuming, since you will have to first make the marking, and then prepare the surface before performing the assembly process.

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

Original little things for decoration

Anyone can make absolutely any structure, even if he has never been involved in needlework before. The positive point is that for the manufacture of handicrafts it is necessary to use a minimum of materials, and in some cases, only the shortest segments are used.

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

There are several options for execution:

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 you glue all the homemade parts together, you get a fairly stable figure that can be moved to any place.

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

And also the comfort on the desktop can be conveyed with a drawing tablet and laptop stand. All this is also easily made from PVC, which have a small diameter. It is only necessary to remember what shape the school book holder had, and then, with the help of pipes and fittings, give the same shape to the product.

Every home has bookshelves that make big amount printed material. Typically, these devices have fairly standard shapes. But if you turn on your imagination, then very original high-tech book stands can be created from pipes.

There is always a mirror in the apartment. With the help of short pipe sections, an option will appear to make a very beautiful pattern that will decorate any mirror or photograph. The available number of rings must be glued in advance according to the manufactured layout, which is applied to a cardboard sheet. You can create a floral pattern or some kind of abstract shape. The size of the frame will be limited only by the number of materials that can be used.

If the house has a PVC pipe 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 are in the house in it. The nice thing is that such a shelf can be built right up to the ceiling. For manufacturing, you must use self-tapping screws or ordinary glue. To fix the structure to the wall, you can use a plywood sheet to which the parts will be glued. And the plywood itself can be easily attached to the wall using several self-tapping screws.

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

Vases and pots

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

From elongated cylinders, which have an average diameter, it is possible to make very beautiful vase, in which beautiful artificial dried fruits or flowers are placed.

Master class "Greenhouse from PVC pipes"

If you have an orchard and vegetable garden, you undoubtedly know that using the greenhouse as a place where certain plants can be is very important. Therefore, we will try to make such greenhouse conditions from PVC plastic pipes with our own hands.

Arched PVC pipe greenhouse

For work we need the following materials:

• PVC pipes with a diameter of 25mm.
• Tee and cross for our pipes. It is also worth stocking up on oblique tees.
• Armature, wooden plank, metal strip.
• A hacksaw that is suitable for cutting wood or metal.
• Welding machine for plastic pipes.
• Screwdriver and screwdriver.
• Self-tapping screws, hammer, nails, tape measure and building level.

Work Steps Process

1. First, we need to take the boards of the desired size. It is as long as desired, the width is preferably about 20 cm. They will definitely need to be thoroughly impregnated with an antiseptic.
2. On the pre-leveled ground, we install a rectangle made of boards, fixing it in the corners with reinforcement, which we drive into the ground. It should be correct shape... We can check this using the diagonal of the inner rectangle.
3. Next, we need to fix on the sides (those that are longer) segments of the reinforcement so that we have 50-70 cm on the surface of the earth. It is on them that the arcs will be attached.
4. We divide the width of the base approximately in half, while marking the middle of the board with a marker. We must retreat from it 40 cm in each side, while with outside we also hammer the board.

Pipe preparation and installation process

To get a full arc, we will need to weld two pieces of pipe. They should be approximately 30 cm each. We insert a cross into the middle. We fasten the outer parts with plastic tees. The arcs are installed according to the principle of sliding the end of the pipe onto the reinforcement, which is located between the two long sides of the base.

The process of mounting the arc on the reinforcement

Next comes the installation of the central stiffener, which will keep the structure in balance. It is made from 85cm pipe lengths. and is welded midway between the cross and the center tee. Fastened directly to a wooden base using self-tapping screws and metal clamps.

The final step will be the process of creating doors and windows. You need to think about exactly where it is best to place them. Usually, doors will be installed at the end of the greenhouse so that there is a possibility of ventilation. A window can be installed in the part opposite to the door.

Greenhouse view from the middle

Greenhouse pipes can be covered with polyethylene or polycarbonate. Basically, this kind of greenhouse will be used seasonally, since it is not entirely suitable for all seasons. It can be noted that the most popular size for an average greenhouse will be about 3.82m. by 6.3m. It is optimal and functional in operation.

Summing up, it can be noted that there are quite a lot of interesting ideas related to crafts from plastic PVC pipes. The main thing is to decide what exactly you need, and just try to do it yourself. These can be ordinary souvenirs in the form of piggy banks or bracelets, or designs like furniture and greenhouses.

Useful crafts from plastic pipes with your own hands

If you are not lazy and not afraid to show initiative and ingenuity, you can work wonders from any available means and materials. And making all-round crafts from plastic pipes with your own hands of any formation is even easier.

There are many types of plastic pipes. There are pipes from which the heating network is assembled, pipes for water supply and sewerage, etc., and as a rule, they are all relatively cheap and available for purchase in any specialized store. Often, after repair or construction, many different pipes remain, which can become excellent raw materials for the manufacture of all kinds of crafts.

Probably, you also have a certain amount of various pipe scraps prepared for disposal. Do not rush to throw them away, but first read this material.

The advantages of plastic pipes

Here we will not talk about the special purpose of pipes, but about their use just "for other purposes." Plastic pipes are lightweight, strong and durable. They are easy to care for, dust does not collect on them, and products made from them are completely safe.

Most often, PVC pipes are used for crafts. They are durable, have increased rigidity and it is easy to assemble various structures from them by means of all kinds of corners, adapters and attachments. Polypropylene pipes are also good, but products from them will no longer be non-collapsible. In addition, in order to create from such pipes, you will have to learn how to use a special soldering machine.

The ways in which pipes are connected in a structure

Plastic pipes are good not only for making all kinds of household items, they can also be used to design all kinds of pieces of furniture. In order for the resulting object to serve for a long time, all the details of its structure must be correctly connected to each other. Consider the assembly of structures from segments made from PVC pipes.

Methods that can be used to connect such pipes:

• connect the segments by means of a socket and a rubber seal;
• by means of special glue;
• using bolts, drilling holes for them.

In the case of a socket, the connection is not laborious, but not rigid enough. Before the procedure, you should thoroughly clean the pipes at their joints from dust and other contaminants, and then apply a special silicone grease to the inserted edge of the pipe. At first, the pipe must be inserted all the way, but then it is recommended to push it back one centimeter. This is done so that later the structure can be easily disassembled on occasion.

The next way more reliable, but also more time consuming. But in this case, the product will turn out to be strong, reliable and durable. For good adhesion before installation, the parts at the joints for better adhesion are processed with sandpaper. After the treated areas are degreased with methylene chloride and ready for glue application. The glue is applied both to the treated external surface and to the internal one. After the pipes are docked, and having brought the pipe to failure, it is worth turning it a quarter of a turn. The parts should be pressed tightly to each other for a minute, and in order for the fixation to be maximum, it is best to do the gluing procedure very quickly. After the glued segments should dry for several more hours.

The most time consuming way is the third. In this case, you will have to mark and drill many holes, but this option will provide the future product with excellent strength and reliability. In addition, you don't have to fiddle with glue and sandpaper, and after assembly, you don't have to wait until something dries up there.

In order to create corners, all kinds of branches, etc., you can use a variety of fittings, due to which a structure of any complexity can be assembled even by a person ignorant of these matters. So let's get down to considering useful products, which were designed by the same private craftsmen as we are.

For example, small chairs, low tables, screens for playing areas, football goals for games on fresh air etc. There are many more useful and interesting things for the manufacture of which inexpensive PVC pipes are suitable.

For example, to organize leisure for children in kindergarten, you can make your own mobile puppet theater. Moreover, you only need a few pieces of pipe and connecting elements to create a frame-frame, as well as material for the curtain. The result can be a very attractive, and most importantly, an invention necessary for a kindergarten.

The frame can be made in the form of a screen of two bearing supports, two jumpers and a floor frame of four tubes, as shown in the photo below on the left. You can also do a more complex structure with your own hands - a screen of three sections, for the manufacture of which it will take a little more consumables and time.

Benches and swings are incredibly beautiful, reliable and comfortable PVC tubes. And the most important thing is that the production of such structures does not require significant investments. Yes, they will serve for a very long time, delighting not only the owners, but also their guests.

What can be done from the scraps of plastic pipes that remained, for example, after replacing the pipeline? Yes, a lot of things! This can be not only the necessary improvised installations and devices, but also decorative structures to decorate the territory adjacent to the house.

And, voila - you have a portable shower and a frame for watering beds, lawns or flower beds.

Lovers of gardeners cannot do without a greenhouse in the country.

What designs can be useful in an apartment?

Interested in what can be made of PVC pipes for an apartment, you can find a lot of original and practical products that will greatly simplify the life of an ordinary city dweller. For example, they will turn out to be compact and at the same time quite roomy shoe shelves. Having previously measured the width of the feet of the inhabitants of the dwelling, it is necessary to select pipe sections of the optimal diameter.

Sewer collectors are perfect for creating such shelves, which can be decorated after gluing along on their own... Having cut the tunnel into equal pieces, they can be glued or pulled together, forming in several rows so that the shelf can accommodate the number of pairs of shoes you need. The result can be a pretty cute piece of art that doesn't take up a lot of space in your apartment.

The same fragments of collectors can be used as pots for growing flowers on the balcony or on the windowsill. The same pipes, only in the form of a solid structure, can be assembled into a "vertical vegetable garden". This is a very relevant invention for those who live in the city, but want to grow greenery on the balcony themselves.

The vases for flowers made from the remains of the pipeline, organizers for office supplies or kitchen utensils will look original. To create such crafts, just a few cuttings of collectors with the same or different diameters are enough. Cutting off the edges of the product at one angle, and then gluing them into a single structure, you can get a stylish stand that will save space on working area.

Similar materials will also come in handy in the bathroom. From ordinary segments or tees, convenient holders for a hair dryer and curling iron, shelves for towels and other household items that can be found in the bathroom can be made according to the principle of shoe shelves.

And, of course, furniture. PVC pipes can be made very practical and inexpensive, and most importantly - original interior items - beds, armchairs, coffee tables. Also, using such raw materials, you can make furniture for a nursery. The safety of the material quite allows the use of PVC pipes in residential premises and at the same time not worry about the likelihood of allergies.

Crafts from plastic pipes for all occasions

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 at any hardware store at quite affordable prices. They are used when installing 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 a heavy weight, do not emit toxins).

For creative work, PVC pipes are often used, which are quite rigid and easily connected with special nozzles and "adapters", allowing you to get collapsible structures. Polypropylene pipes can also be used, but you will need a special welding machine or compression fittings to connect them, and finished goods will no longer be able to make out.

Methods for connecting pipes in structures

• using an adhesive composition;

The first connection method 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 further dismantled, which is convenient for seasonal products.

The second method of pipe assembly 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. Finally, 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 the 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.

Our overview of interesting ideas is opened by the simplest products from a plastic pipe, which even novice masters of homemade art can make. 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 the segments together to form a stable figure - a portable option.

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. The hi-tech corner shelf will not go unnoticed.

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 quantity suitable material.

Large cuts can be used to create a comfortable shoe rack with multiple compartments. This design does not take up much space in the corridor and will ensure that the 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.

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

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

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.

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

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