DIY Projects Using PVC Pipes

Steps: 

• Measure and Cut: For this craft idea with PVC pipe, first decide the height and width of the shoe rack. Cut the PVC pipes into equal lengths for the vertical and horizontal sections; for instance, the vertical pipes could be 12 inches long, while the horizontal ones could be 24 inches long.
• Design the Layout: Neatly arrange the cut portions and align them in a grid manner. For instance, to get a basic shoe rack design, have four vertical pipes and three horizontal ones.
• Assemble the Rack: You can use PVC glue or connectors to join the pipes and ensure they are well fixed.
• Smooth Edges: Sand the cut edges so there would be no threatening sharp points.
• Place the Rack: Screw the shoe rack into the position desired in the house or in a particular room that would be most suitable.

Steps:

• Select Pipe Sizes: For this PVC idea, always look for pipes whose diameters complement the handles of your garden tools. Cut the pipes to the desired lengths, for example, 12-18 inches.
• Prepare the Base: For a wooden board, ensure they are firmly nailed to the wall through crews or wall anchors.
• Attach PVC Sections: When planning, the cut sections of PVC must be arranged vertically on the board or wall depending on the size of the tools. 
• Secure with Screws: Simply fasten every section of the PVC to the board or wall with screws and fix them in place properly.
• Insert Tools: Place your garden tools inside the PVC sections for convenience in use and to avoid forgetting.

Steps:  

• Cut the Pipes: Cut the PVC pipes at a 45-degree angle, creating pockets wide enough to hold your desired items (6-8 inches long).
• Prepare the Base: If using a board, cut it to the desired dimension, which should be fastened on a suitable wall using screws or wall anchors.
• Arrange the Slots: Arrange the cut PVC pieces on the board and ensure that they do not touch each other so that they can be accessed easily.
• Secure the Pieces: Screw or glue each pocket so that they remain fixed on the board perfectly well.
• Organize Your Items: To better organize the working space, you can put brushes, pens, knives, or other tools into the pockets.

Steps: 

• Cut the Pipe: Cut the PVC pipe to about 2 feet long using a pipe cutter. 
• Drilling Feeding Holes: Make 2-4 holes of 1-2 inches in diameter at equal intervals on the lower half of the same pipe.
• Add the Perch: Drill a hole beneath the feeding holes and insert a wooden dowel to serve as a perch, securing it with glue if necessary.
• Cap the Ends: Securely fasten an end cap at one end of the pipe so that birdseed does not spill out. 
• Decorate (Optional): Remove the dirt outside the pipe then paint or seal it with non-toxic material and let it dry. 
• Hang the Feeder: Attached the feeder on a rope or a chain and suspend it at an appropriate place or better still mount on a stand. 
• Fill with Birdseed: Pour birdseed into the open end, around the feeding holes.
