Amazing things made from consumables
It is difficult to list all the products that you can make with your own hands, having only fragments of building materials on hand, as well as fasteners for connecting them. Using such raw materials, you can create incredible and necessary things.
There are truly countless ideas for creating crafts from simple hollow objects. These can be either ordinary organizers for organizing a workspace and a stand for a laptop or tablet, or designer masterpieces (chairs, beds, coffee tables and other furniture) that emphasize a person’s individuality.
Do-it-yourself objects and products are the most suitable activity for people with a rich imagination. At the same time, they do not have to purchase tools and tools to produce homemade plastic crafts, because such materials can be joined quite simply.
Such designs can be:
- Collapsible, the installation process of which is simplified, connectors, angles and tees.
- Solid, for assembly you will need plastic or bolts.
And, if the second method is more suitable for stationary interior products, then the first installation method is used by craftsmen interested in the production of seasonal items. For example: a folding fishing chair, a greenhouse, a canopy and a gazebo, a garden swing, etc. Such structures can be easily assembled in advance of the season, and then stored away without worrying that they will deteriorate in the winter.
Crafts made from hollow polyvinyl chloride pipes have a huge number of advantages. Among the main ones are the durability of raw materials and the aesthetic appearance of finished products. Equally important is and, which is a great temptation for many who want to try their hand at creating universal plastic objects.
Other advantages include:
- and operation.
- Strength of structures due to high density of raw materials.
- A variety of craft options (configurations, sizes, appearance).
- The ability to create exclusive designer items that can later be put up for sale or given as a gift.
- Absolute safety and non-toxicity of raw materials, allowing the use of crafts in a wide variety of rooms and conditions.
Whatever design you decide to create, you should remember that the main raw materials (pipe cuttings) can be acquired quite easily, but you will have to prepare fasteners and tools in advance. The same bolts, plugs and fittings - you will need to first calculate how many of these or other parts are needed.
In addition, it is also necessary to prepare auxiliary tools that may be useful in the process of creating an exclusive:
- pencil and ruler/tape measure;
- drill and screwdriver;
- glue or screws.
If you decide to bend materials to obtain a product of a certain shape, first think about exactly how you will be able to achieve the desired result. In general, crafts made from fragments of plastic pipes are easy and simple, as you can see by reading this article to the end.
Preschool Ideas
Very often, PVC pipes are used as the most optimal raw material for the manufacture of furniture and household items for children. For example, small chairs, low tables, screens for play areas, football goals for outdoor games, etc. are very popular. There are many more useful and interesting things for which inexpensive polyvinyl chloride pipes are suitable.
For example, to organize leisure time for children in kindergarten, you can make a mobile puppet theater yourself. Moreover, you will only need a few pieces of pipe and connecting elements to create a frame, as well as fabric for the curtain. The result can be a very attractive, and most importantly, an invention needed for kindergarten.
The frame can be made in the form of a screen from two load-bearing supports, two lintels and a floor frame of four tubes, as shown in the photo below on the left. You can also make a more complex design with your own hands - a screen of three sections, the manufacture of which will require a little more consumables and time.
No less relevant devices made from polyvinyl chloride pipes for organizing children’s leisure time in kindergarten:
- development stand (busy board);
- washing hands or toys;
- crib for dolls, etc.
Another necessary structure for kindergartens made from PVC pipes is bicycle parking. It is easy to make such a stand with your own hands, even if you have never had to deal with the installation of pipelines before. In order to build such an installation, you will need two long and two short fragments for the base, as well as several more pairs of identical sections for the racks holding the wheels.
Appliances that are relevant for any time of year are a towel dryer, a laundry basket and a hanger made of plastic pipes. Such designs will be indispensable not only in kindergartens, but also in ordinary residential buildings. Made from fairly light and cheap materials, they can serve their owners for a long time.
The best ideas for country houses
Happy owners of private houses outside the city can also use PVC pipes to their advantage. For those who come to rest and relax in nature, luxurious gazebos and canopies can be made from such materials. And for cinema lovers, you can create a homemade cinema from canvas stretched over a frame made of polyvinyl chloride pipes. What could be better than pleasant company and the open sky, under which you can organize a home evening with friends in front of the big screen. By the way, you can use the remains of other building materials as a canvas. For example, pieces of stretch ceiling remaining after repair.
The same garden furniture can be made with your own hands from pipe sections. Tables, folding chairs, comfortable garden chairs and even sun loungers - these products can be made yourself by looking at drawings on the Internet or developing your own project.
For example, you can use images and diagrams of garden furniture:
Incredibly beautiful, reliable and comfortable benches and swings are made from polyvinyl chloride tubes. And the most important thing is that the production of such structures will not require significant financial investments. May they serve for a very long time, delighting not only the owners, but also their guests.
For those who come to their dacha not only to relax, but also to work, there are also several ideas for arranging their personal plot. What can be made from scraps of plastic pipes that are left over, for example? Yes, a lot of things! These can be not only the necessary improvised installations and devices, but also decorative structures to decorate the area adjacent to the house.
For example, if a hose is in the way, and there is no suitable place to store it, make a stand with your own hands from pipe scraps. Those who want to quickly construct a fence for a flower bed or protect themselves from neighbors can use the same material. As you can see from the photo, plastic will fit perfectly into any environment and will help protect your vegetation from animal attacks.
Animal lovers can use plastic hollow structures to create pens and cages of various configurations and sizes. The result is cheap mobile structures that look very aesthetically pleasing. It is worth noting that materials with a large hole can also be useful here. Homemade feeders made from sewer pipes allow farmers who keep birds (quails, chickens, etc.) not to worry about food for their charges. The feed poured into the chute from above will automatically flow to the feeding area.
Another do-it-yourself product made from polypropylene pipes that is relevant for the summer season is an arch shower and an irrigation frame. These are such banal designs that you don’t even need a diagram to create them.
All you need is a few scraps from PVC manifolds, and, of course, a drill to make holes for water. Next, you need to connect the hose to one end of the pipes, and put plugs on the rest (except for the water holes). And, voila - you have a portable shower and a frame for watering your garden beds, lawn or flower bed.
Amateur gardeners cannot do without a greenhouse at their dacha. By the way, it can also be done with only scraps of building materials on hand: pipes with a diameter of 25 mm (or 32 mm), rods, boards, film and fasteners. A detailed master class on how to make a greenhouse with your own hands from such a set of materials is given in the video clip:
You can’t do without a stepladder in your summer cottage. And in an apartment such a design would not be superfluous. How to make such a miracle staircase can be seen in the following video review:
You can also use such building material when constructing a temporary carport. This design will be very light, it can be very easily assembled and disassembled if necessary. Moreover, given the durability of the raw materials, a plastic canopy with a pipe frame can be made on a permanent basis if other building materials are available.
What designs can be useful in an apartment?
If you are interested in what can be made from 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 make compact and at the same time quite roomy shoe shelves. Having previously measured the width of the feet of the inhabitants of the home, you need to select pipe sections of the optimal diameter.
Excellent for creating shelves that can be decorated at will after gluing. Having cut the tunnel into equal pieces, they can be glued or pulled together, formed in several rows so that the shelf can accommodate the number of pairs of shoes you need. The result can be a rather cute piece of art that won’t take up much space in your apartment.
The same fragments of collectors can be used as flowerpots for growing flowers on a balcony or windowsill. The same pipes, only in the form of a solid structure, can be assembled into a “vertical garden”. This is a very relevant invention for those who live in the city, but want to grow their own greens on the balcony.
Flower vases and organizers for stationery or kitchen utensils made from pipeline remnants will look original. To create such crafts, just a few scraps of collectors with the same or different diameters are enough. By cutting 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 your work area.
Such materials are also useful in the bathroom. Using ordinary pieces or tees, you can use the principle of shoe shelves to make convenient holders for hair dryers and curling irons, shelves for towels and other household items that can be found in the bathroom.
And, of course, furniture. From PVC pipes you can make 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 children's room. The safety of the material makes it possible to use polyvinyl chloride pipes in residential premises without worrying about the possibility of allergies.
As you can see, the scope for imagination is simply enormous. If you decide to try making crafts from PVC pipes yourself, you don’t have to attend special classes or acquire expensive equipment. Using what is available in almost every home as improvised means, you can make exclusive products from ordinary materials that will become a very unusual addition to your homestead, garden or apartment interior.

Master class “Greenhouse made of PVC pipes”
If you have a garden, you undoubtedly know that using a greenhouse as a place to house certain plants is very important. Therefore, we will try to make such greenhouse conditions from PVC plastic pipes with our own hands.
Greenhouse made of arched PVC pipes For work we will need the following materials:
- PVC pipes with a diameter of 25mm.
- Tee and cross for our pipes. It is also worth stocking up on slanting tees.
- Reinforcement, wooden board, 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.
Process of working stages
- First we need to take the boards of the required sizes. Length as desired, width preferably about 20 cm. They will definitely need to be thoroughly soaked with an antiseptic.
- We install a rectangle of boards on the previously leveled ground, securing it in the corners with reinforcement, which we drive into the ground. It must be the correct shape. We can check this using the diagonal of the inner rectangle.
- Next, we need to attach pieces of reinforcement to the sides (those that are longer) so that we have 50-70 cm left on the surface of the earth. It is on them that the arcs will be attached.
- 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 direction, while we also hammer in a board from the outside.
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 using plastic tees.
The arches are installed by the principle of putting the end of the pipe on the reinforcement, which is located between the two long sides of the base.
The process of installing the arc on the reinforcement Next comes the installation of a central stiffening rib, which will keep the structure in balance. It is made from pipe sections 85cm long. and is welded in the middle between the cross and the central tee. It is fixed directly to a wooden base using self-tapping screws and metal clamps.
The final stage will be the process of creating doors and windows. You need to first think about exactly where it is best to place them. Typically, doors will be installed at the end of the greenhouse to allow ventilation. A window can be installed in the part opposite the door.
View of the greenhouse from the middle The covering of a greenhouse made of pipes can be 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 the average greenhouse will be approximately 3.82 m. at 6.3m. It is optimal and functional in operation.
To summarize, we can note that there are quite a lot of interesting ideas related to crafts made from PVC plastic 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.

Polypropylene pipes make it possible to make plumbing connections in an apartment light, flexible and stainless, but people with a creative mind find uses for such products that have nothing to do with plumbing. Here are some clever ways to use scraps of plastic pipe to make gadgets that can come in handy in the home workshop.
Case for hacksaw
A durable and convenient cover for the teeth of a hacksaw can be made from a plastic pipe with a diameter of 20 mm. For this:
The pipe is clamped in a workbench and, stepping back a little from the edge, a grinder is used to make a longitudinal cut, the length of which corresponds to the length of the hacksaw blade. The end of the pipe is left intact.
Cut off the cut part of the pipe.
Drill a hole with a diameter of 6 mm at the end of the device and insert a bolt into it, onto which a wing nut is screwed.
When the nut is fully tightened, the bolt tightly clamps the pipe and securely fixes the cover to the hacksaw blade, preventing it from moving or flying off due to an accidental impact.
Devices for processing shaped surfaces
The surface of wooden products to be sanded often has concave and convex places, which are very inconvenient for sanding. Simple devices made from polypropylene pipes will help make this work more comfortable and faster.
Device for processing concave surfaces
In order to do it, you will need:
- a piece of plastic pipe with a diameter of 20mm;
- a piece of sandpaper with a width equal to the length of the trim circumference;
- polyurethane glue.
Homemade products are made as follows:
The pipe is sanded.
The inner, non-working surface of the sandpaper is moistened and glue is applied to it.
Level the glue onto the paper with a spatula previously wrapped in paper.
Wrap the pipe with sandpaper.
Cover everything with masking tape.
After two hours the paper is removed
and get a very convenient device for grinding concave surfaces
Device for processing a convex long surface
In order to make it, you will need everything the same as in the case of the first device, only you will need to use a thick sewer pipe with a diameter of 32 mm.
Manufacturing process:
The pipe is clamped into a workbench and cut lengthwise on both sides, trying to ensure that the cuts are strictly opposite each other. The section of the pipe at the very end is not touched so that the edges of the cut do not pinch the grinder disc.
Measure the required length from the cut end of the pipe and cut it off.
You end up with two identical halves of the product that need to be cleaned.
Glue is applied to the inside of the sandpaper.
Sandpaper is placed in one half of the workpiece, and the second is covered on top.
The entire structure is tightened with clamps and left to dry.
After two hours, the gluing is disassembled and a device is obtained, which is very convenient for sanding any long round wooden products. You just need to cut off the excess sandpaper around the edges.
Case for chisel
Polypropylene is thermoplastic; when plastic pipes are heated, their shape easily changes and, thanks to this, a variety of useful things can be made from them. To make a case for a chisel, the pipe is first heated with a construction hairdryer,
and then give it the desired shape with your hands
The result is a comfortable case for the chisel that holds the tool very tightly.
For ease of use, you can write the width of the working part of the tool on the cover.
Adapters
The thermoplastic property of polypropylene can also be used in the manufacture of various adapters from plastic pipes, for example, for blowing out a jigsaw. To do this, you need to select a pipe with a diameter slightly larger than the hole in the tool.
To make the adapter, the pipe is first heated to a fairly high temperature, so it is recommended to work with gloves,
then they narrow its end with their hands, insert it into the hole of the jigsaw and leave it there to cool.
If the connection between the adapter and the jigsaw turns out to be weak after the plastic has cooled, then you can additionally wrap masking tape around it. In this way, their PVC pipes can be formed into adapters of any diameter and any shape.
Clamps
In order to make a homemade clamp you will need:
- polypropylene coupling with a diameter of 63 mm;
- two threaded rods with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 20 cm each;
- two heat-shrinkable tubes.
Clamp manufacturing process:
Wrap masking tape around the coupling and cut it lengthwise into two halves. The cutting line is drawn along the border of the application of the “painting” tapes on the product.
Cut one of the resulting coupling halves crosswise.
Plastic pipes are one of the most popular materials for crafts. And this is quite natural: they are publicly available, inexpensive, cutting and installation do not require special skills or special equipment.
DIY crafts made from plastic pipes will look especially harmonious in the countryside. We share a selection of fresh ideas that motivate creative experiments.
1. Water procedures
On a hot summer day, you really want to cool off at the dacha, quickly and conveniently. A shower made of plastic pipes will help with this. A watering hose must be attached to a plastic structure with holes. All that remains is to turn on the water and enjoy the pleasant coolness.
2. Comfortable seating
The more plastic pipes included in the design of a chair or chaise lounge, the more weight it will be able to withstand. If you need a high chair for a child, then a minimum number of pipes is enough, and the seat can be made of thick fabric. It is better to make a chaise longue for an adult entirely out of plastic.
3. Air beds
Even the most ordinary walls of a country house, made of nondescript building blocks, will transform hanging flower beds. Even a child can make such crafts from plastic pipes for the dacha. Pipes with holes, plugs covering their sides, and metal fasteners are all you need to make unusual flower beds.
4. Drying things quickly is easy
It’s worth spending a little time and you can make a compact clothes dryer from plastic pipes. Such a product will weigh very little, so it can be easily placed in the most illuminated place on the site.
5. To make strawberries taste better than your neighbors'
It often happens that strawberries grown in the usual way - in the garden - ripen unevenly and can even rot. After all, the sun may not reach one side of it at all, since often the fruits lie on the ground or are under the leaves. A vertical bed made from a piece of large-diameter plastic pipe will help solve the problem. Strawberries, like a climbing plant, will definitely find a way out - through the holes in the plastic.
6. Plastic fence
Making an external fence separating the street from the garden plot from plastic pipes is probably not the best idea. But using them to protect an animal enclosure or another area of the dacha is a reasonable decision. To make this mini-fence look like a real one, paint it with silver paint.
7. A fabulous place for friendly gatherings
It is easy to assemble an unusual gazebo from pipes, which will surely become a favorite place for a country holiday. Stretch ropes between the pipes and plant climbing plants, such as ivy, underneath them. When he grows up, it will be pleasant to be in the gazebo even on a sunny day. To make the gazebo look more picturesque, use brown pipes.
8. Efficient watering system
Watering a lawn or other large area at the dacha is not the most exciting activity. A garden irrigation system made from plastic pipes will help you get rid of it. Simply run a water hose to several connected sections and turn on the water. If you make the holes small, you will get a drip irrigation system.
9. Simple and mobile greenhouse
Thin pipes become the main material for making a greenhouse. The main advantage of such a garden craft made from plastic pipes is its mobility. At the end of the summer season, the greenhouse can be easily disassembled, and the next season it can be reinstalled in any chosen location.
10. Fencing for the terrace
A small plastic fence for the terrace will show that the owners of the dacha are not expecting guests at this time. In addition, you can make a regular fence from sections of plastic pipes. To make it look more impressive, paint the plastic in a bright color.
11. Vertical flower bed
Growing seedlings is quite a troublesome task. A flower bed made of plastic pipes will help make this process more organized and convenient. If you spend a little more time, you can supply water to it, and then the process of watering the seedlings will become automated. It is enough to make holes in the bottom of the containers in which the plants are planted.
12. Fun swing
Plastic pipes with ropes holding the swing will become convenient handrails. The manufacturing process for such a swing is quite simple. Eight pieces of pipe with holes, rope and a board are all you need to make them.
13. For lovers of outdoor activities
Active recreation, in which all family members participate, is an excellent option for spending time in the country. Both adults and children will be captivated by the game of football. Finding the ball won’t be difficult, it’s just a matter of looking behind the goal. They can be assembled from plastic pipes. You will also need a piece of any mesh.
Support for flowers.
Decorating your terrace or veranda with flowering plants is a great idea. But carrying out many pots and placing them in different places can become a tedious task. A flower stand made of plastic pipes will help solve the problem. It weighs very little, so rearranging it if necessary is very easy.
16. Laconic flower pots
Identical flower pots will make the interior of a country house more stylish and cozy. If you don’t want to spend extra money, you can make them from equal sections of plastic pipe. PVC pipe plugs act as the bottom of flower pots. They just need to be put on one of the edges.
17. To feel like a knight
Depending on the type, some pipes are quite easy to bend. This is possible if the product is of small diameter and made of flexible plastic. If you cannot bend the pipe, you can heat it slightly. For example, with a hair dryer or over an open flame.
PVC pipes are the best option not only for plumbing, but also for making crafts with your own hands. How often does it happen that after repairs there are several pieces left that are a pity to throw away and so they lie at home or in the country and wait in the wings? This situation is familiar to many, so we make room and create original crafts from pipes for our home and site.
Pipe connection options
Plastic pipes are a general name for products used to create water supply, sewerage and heating systems, which are made from various polymers, most often PVC or polypropylene. Such pipes are distinguished by a lot of advantages, including high strength, lightness, durability, safety and ease of maintenance.
To make crafts of this kind, it is important to know how you can connect their individual parts to form the intended design. Polypropylene pipes are connected to each other using a welding machine, which is expensive, so the best option would be to rent it. But you still need to learn how to work with such a device, so fittings are often used for these purposes.
If we talk about plastic pipes, we most often mean PVC products that are connected in the following ways:
After becoming familiar with the technology of connecting plastic pipes, you can perform any craft. It is only important to initially draw a sketch of what you want to get in the end, indicating all the dimensions and structural elements of the craft.
You can independently create unique crafts from pipes that will delight the owner with their appearance and practicality, and even more so surprise guests.
Organizer
This craft is the easiest way to use plastic pipes. If there are only small pieces of pipe, then they will fit perfectly into the overall idea. To make a mobile organizer, you just need to glue pieces of pipes of the required size together in the intended sequence and decorate the structure. This storage option will always keep your workplace in order.
The second version of the organizer craft is a stationary one. In this case, the craft blank is mounted on a horizontal surface or wall. This is how you get niches for various little things, created with your own hands from pipes.
Frame or partition for the room
If you want to decorate the wall of your house with a mirror, but it doesn’t have a suitable frame, you don’t have to spend money on buying a new one. To perform this you will need to cut pipes of different diameters into thin rings. On paper you need to draw a model of the future craft in real size and assemble it directly from pipe scraps on it. You can create either a strict geometric frame or a set of chaotically scattered rings. As a result, the resulting pipe craft can be painted in the desired shade or decorated depending on the owner’s imagination.
Thus, it is not difficult to create a decorative partition from pipes, which can decorate not only the interior of the house, but also a suburban area. Of course, you will have to put in more effort, but it is worth it.
Shoe rack or wine rack
The situation with a pile of shoes in the corner of the hallway is familiar to many, but there is not always room to install a full-fledged shoe closet. In this case, you can get creative and make a shoe maker craft from plastic pipes. To do this, you will need to take pieces of pipe with a diameter sufficient to fit a pair of shoes, and cut them into pieces about 30 cm long.
Important! It is best to connect the components of the craft using self-tapping screws to ensure that the structure is as reliable and durable as possible.
The assembled product must be secured to the wall to prevent it from falling. This shoe rack is compact and in appearance is no worse than store-bought shoe organizers.
This technology can be used to build bathroom shelves, a wine bottle holder, and even a place to place children's toys.
Vases and flowerpots
From scraps of sewer pipes you can make craft pots that are perfect for planting flowers in them and placing them in your summer cottage. If you first attach the bottom to the blanks, for example, from a plastic bucket, or simply provide them with a stand, then you can even place such pots indoors.
Crafts made from small-diameter pipes look stylish. By placing several blanks of different heights, decorated using the decoupage technique, you will get a spectacular place for cut plants.
Stands and shelves
If you need to equip a country house or garage, then creating shelves from PVC pipes will be an excellent alternative to buying solid wooden products. To form this kind of crafts from pipes, you will need to connect the segments in a certain sequence.
Thus, snake-shaped shelves are suitable for storing books and photo albums. They are also convenient for hanging clothes or towels.
Flower stand crafts look no less creative. During the manufacturing process, special attention is paid to the places where parts are fixed to each other and the reliability of the structure. You will also additionally need pieces of plywood or other material to make a countertop made from pipes.
garden arch
Such products, entwined with plants, look sophisticated and elegant on the site. They can even decorate any celebration. For example, if you decorate such an arch with satin ribbons, flowers, tulle, then this will become an excellent decoration for an outdoor wedding ceremony or photo shoot. And making crafts doesn’t take much time.
There are many options for arches, so the design of the craft is selected in accordance with the wishes of the master. The main difficulty in forming this craft is the need to bend some parts of the pipes. The easiest way to do this is to slightly heat the desired section of the pipe using a gas burner.
If this is not possible, then the pipes for the craft are simply connected at an angle. In this case, a trapezoid or triangle is formed. They make an arch with two arches so that between them there are transverse elements, which during operation will help the greenery to be distributed over the entire surface of this craft.
Alcove
Not only small products can be made from pipes. For example, a gazebo made of this material will be an excellent option for complementing a relaxation area. To do this, you will need to take long pieces, form arcs from them and secure them in the ground. A thick awning fabric is stretched between them as a roof, and a dining table or bench for relaxation is installed in the interior space. This is how, without wasting extra time and money, you can create a masterpiece gazebo that will save you from the summer heat.
Advice! You can combine the elements of the craft to make a house. This is also an interesting version of a large craft made from PVC pipes.
