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

Features of making crafts from plastic pipes

Plastic pipes and fittings (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 gluing the PVC pipe to the fitting, it must be chamfered to get rid of burrs that can scrape off the glue during the joining process.

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 PVC pipe stand.

So, the instructions for its manufacture are quite simple:

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

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

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

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

Option 2: sled for children

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

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

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

Sledges are made as follows:

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

at the end of the work you need to make a seat. To do this, you can use wooden slats that are screwed to the frame with screws or planks.

This completes the manufacturing process of the sled.

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 kinds of little things, in the country or even in the apartment, in order to conveniently arrange conservation in the pantry.

The process of making a rack is extremely simple:

start work by completing the drawing, indicating the dimensions of all parts;
then, according to the drawing, assemble the racks and tie them with jumpers using tees;
now install the rack and lay the boards on the lintels, which will serve as shelves;
if the rack turned out to be high, you need to provide brackets for attaching the structure to the wall.

Option 4: snowshoes

We figured out how sleds for children are made, now let's look at how to make snowshoes with your own hands from plastic pipes for adults. For this you will need the following materials:

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

The process of making snowshoes is as follows:

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

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 a lot of force, it is better to heat the workpiece again so that it does not crack;
reheat the resulting sock and give it an angle of approximately 120-130 degrees. Do the same with the ends of the pipes;

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

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

In the process of making the grid, you need to tie a jumper to the snowshoes. When the product is ready, tie elastic bands to secure the snowshoes to the leg.

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

Option 5: catamaran

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

The manufacturing process of this product is as follows:

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

To control the catamaran, use the oars from the kayak. 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 - it is based on pipes and fittings. The only thing is that the parts do not need to be glued or soldered to make the products collapsible. Another feature is that you will have to sew an awning, for example, from a tarpaulin or other suitable canvas.

The construction process looks like this:

to make it easier to work, draw a drawing indicating 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.
From above, roofs are attached to the racks. If the roof is gable, then you will need fittings at 45 degrees to assemble it;

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

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

Option 7: making a velomobile

Fans of designing and inventing can be recommended to make a velomobile. Truth, keep in mind that for its manufacture you will need stronger pipes than for the products described above.

An excellent solution is PVC pipes with metal reinforcement with a diameter of 1/4 inch. However, it is almost impossible to find such material in 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, conventional polypropylene reinforced pipes can be used, inside of which metal tubes of a suitable diameter are inserted. Another option to increase the strength of pipes is to fill them with mounting foam.

The process of manufacturing a velomobile frame is not difficult. The design 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 thing when performing this task is to securely fasten the metal parts - the wheel axles, and the drive. To do this, use metal plates that can be fixed to the frame with bolts. To screw the bolt into the pipe, use the bushings that are glued.

As for the mechanical part, all parts are used from the bike. The only thing is that 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, an axle with bends in the form of pedals should be placed in front, as in the photo below. This axle, in turn, transmits torque to the "sprocket", and then everything is like a conventional bicycle.

Here, in fact, are 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 experimenting with different gear, then you will probably be interested in this idea of using a plastic pipe, which consists in making a summer vent. 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.

A vent is made from a plastic pipe as follows:

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

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

Option 9: folding chair

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

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

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

Option 10: a waterfall for children

As you know, children are very fond of splashing in the water on hot summer days. Therefore, if you have a dacha, do not deny them such a 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 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 fitting or threaded fitting to one of the legs. Install plugs on the other ends of the legs.

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

Conclusion

From plastic pipes, as we found out, you can make a lot of interesting and useful crafts. We considered as an example only 10 options for their use. However, if you stretch your imagination a little, you will surely discover a lot of other equally interesting ideas.

A zealous owner never throws away the remnants of materials after repairs. Even pipe cuts and the remaining over-purchased fittings will find a use. Crafts from polypropylene pipes are a great way to realize your fantasies and make useful household items with your own hands.

Useful designs for the garden plot

The use of plastic pipes for the garden

A greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes will replace an outdated structure made of wood or metal that requires annual painting (wood rots quickly and metal rusts). Once having built a greenhouse frame from polypropylene pipes, you can forget about the need for maintenance, repair and painting for many years. It is enough to stretch a new plastic film once a year and the greenhouse is ready for use.

Necessary materials:

pipes made of polypropylene of the required length (the number depends on the installation step of the arcs and the length of the future greenhouse);
cement;
sand;
polyethylene film.

Assembly steps:

Concrete one end of each pipe at the selected spacing (usually 1m).
Bend the fixed pipes.
Concrete the other end of each pipe.
If desired, you can fix the arcs together with a longitudinal pipe using clamps. This will give the structure the necessary rigidity.

Cover the frame with plastic wrap.

A home-made greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes can also be made in another way, if you use PP tees to fasten the pipes together.

Instead of a film, polycarbonate can be used. This will make the greenhouse more expensive, but you won’t have to make a constriction every year and buy a new film.

A greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes can be made collapsible. It is convenient to assemble such a structure in the spring, plant seedlings, and then, when the seedlings are planted in a permanent place, disassemble and put them in a shed for storage.

Prepare pipes of the required length.
Drive metal bars into the ground through a certain selected step.
Put each pipe with one end on the bar.
Bend each pipe into an arc.
Put the other end of the pipe on the bar.
Cover with foil.

If there is not enough space on the site, then multi-tiered beds are made of polypropylene pipes. The structure in cross section can be in the form of a triangle or a rectangle.

The device of multi-tiered beds:

A frame is assembled - a holder for beds from pipes of large or medium diameter.
Beds are being made. For this, large-diameter PP pipes are taken. From horizontally located pipes, the top is cut off (less than half a diameter) along the entire length. Holes are drilled at regular intervals in the lower part.
Pipe-beds are fixed to the frame.
A layer of drainage is poured at the bottom, and then a layer of earth.
Plants are planted.

The main advantages of multi-tiered beds:

They take up little space.
The soil is not waterlogged, thanks to the holes in the lower part and the drainage layer. Plants do not get sick, the roots do not rot.
Plants do not shade each other.
Ease of construction.
Ease of disassembly and assembly.
Durability.

Having made and installed such a bed on the balcony with your own hands, you will always have fresh greens on the table.

Plastic gazebos in the garden

The location of gazebos in the open air places high demands on the material for manufacturing.

Material requirements:

resistance to temperature extremes;
resistance to corrosion;
moisture resistance;
strength;
small specific gravity.

All these requirements are met by products made of polypropylene pipes.

plastic furniture

Furniture made of polypropylene pipes is durable, as the service life of the material is about 50 years. Products are lightweight and easy to assemble. The main tool is a soldering iron for pipes.

Design creative ideas will help to make stylish furniture that can decorate any room.

Children's furniture

It is usually difficult for young families to immediately withdraw a large sum from the budget for the purchase of ready-made furniture for a children's room. In addition, affordable furniture is quite bulky. An alternative would be self-assembled furniture from pipes and connecting elements. The future owner can also take part in the development of the sketch and assembly. Such furniture has all the advantages inherent in PP pipes.

Plastic furniture is especially suitable for giving and relaxing outside the city.

Pipe shelves

The main structural elements are pipes and couplings. Shelf holder - frame made of polypropylene pipes. You can install plywood shelves on the holders by fixing them with self-tapping screws. And you can use the design without plywood. Books are placed directly on the holders, resting against the wall. If you are a fan of minimalism, then these bookshelves are for you.

high chair

Required materials and tools:

pipes of medium diameter;
fittings of the required configuration;
plywood;
foam rubber (optional);
upholstery fabric;
wood saw;
soldering iron for plastic soldering;
stapler for upholstery work with staples (instead of a stapler with staples, you can use a hammer and small cloves with washers from pieces of a plastic bottle);
self-tapping screws.

Manufacturing steps:

Legs are assembled from pipes and fittings using a soldering iron.
A square of the desired size is cut out of plywood, a piece of foam rubber is laid on it and upholstery fabric is placed on top. A piece of upholstery fabric should be large enough to be folded over and stapled from the inside using a stapler.
The seat is attached to the legs with self-tapping screws.
You can also make a back.

A properly made chair made of polypropylene pipes will turn out to be quite durable and comfortable.

Little things for everyday life

To make convenient organizers for all sorts of little things, you need to pick up pipe trimmings of the same diameter. One end can be cut at an angle for easy fixing.

Large diameter pipe cuts can be used to store shoes. Such shoe stands will save a lot of space in a small hallway, shoes will not be stored in bulk, and each pair will have its own cell.

A convenient multi-tiered clothes dryer is a necessary thing in the household. If you make such a dryer from polypropylene pipes with your own hands, then the resulting design will be stable and reliable. It will not be carried away or overturned by a gust of wind. Constantly being in the open air, such a design does not rust and does not rot, it does not need any maintenance at all.

The simplest product is the clothes hangers necessary in the household. For manufacturing, you will need 3 pieces of pipe - 2 of the same length and 1 a third longer. All three segments are strung on a strong twine. The ends of the string must be tied. A wire hook can be attached to the upper corner of the isosceles triangle, if it is at hand. Otherwise, you must leave the end of the twine of the desired length. Shoulders are ready.

Environmental friendliness, durability, lightness make crafts from polypropylene pipes in demand. And the ease of installation will allow everyone, using a little imagination, to make the necessary household item.

Hello dear readers! If you look closely at the objects around us, while connecting your imagination, then you can find at least several options for each of them. It would seem, well, what can be made of PVC pipes, because they are used exclusively for the installation of sewers, in fact, this material is just a godsend for craftsmen. After all, the simplest PVC pipes can quite easily and quickly transform into incredible household items, below we have prepared for you a whole selection of relevant ideas on this topic, and of course, each idea is supported by a photo for clarity.

What can be done from PVC pipes.

How to give one form or another to PVC pipes.

In order for the pipe to subsequently be bent or flattened, it must be heated with a gas burner, and immediately given the necessary shape. As a last resort, if there is no burner in the house, you can heat the pipes over the fire of a gas stove. And you can cut the pipes with a metal saw or a jigsaw, you can connect all the parts using cold welding (for this you need to purchase a special adhesive).

How to make a pvc bow:

How to make a bench from PVC pipes:

Dear readers, today we have shown you what can be made of PVC pipes, as you can see, there are a lot of ideas, it remains only to choose the right one for yourself, and slowly bring it to life.

The website "Comfort in the House" reminds its readers that you can subscribe to receive notifications about the release of new reviews (you can subscribe to the newsletter through the form in the sidebar).

PVC pipes are the best option not only for plumbing, but also for making DIY crafts. How often does it happen after repairs that there are several segments 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 free up space and create original crafts from pipes for our house and plot.

Pipe connection options

Plastic pipes are a generic name for products for creating a plumbing, sewerage and heating system, which are made from various polymers, most often PVC or polypropylene. Such pipes differ in a lot of advantages, including high strength, lightness, durability, safety and ease of maintenance.

In order to carry out crafts of such a plan, it is important to know how to connect their individual parts to form the intended design. Polypropylene pipes are interconnected using a welding machine, which is very expensive, so renting it is the best option. But you still need to learn how to work with such a device, so fittings are more often used for these purposes.

If we talk about plastic pipes, then most often they mean PVC products, which are connected by such options:

After familiarizing yourself 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 design elements of the craft.

On your own, you can create unique crafts from pipes that will delight the owner with their appearance and practicality, and to a greater extent surprise guests.

Organizer

This craft is the easiest way to use plastic pipes. If there are only small pipe cuts, then they will fit perfectly into the overall idea. To make a mobile organizer, you just need to glue pipe sections of the right size together in the intended sequence and decorate the structure. This storage option will always keep the workplace in order.

The second option for a craft organizer 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 room divider

If there is a desire to decorate the wall of the house with a mirror, but it does not have a suitable frame, it is not necessary to spend money on buying a new one. To perform it, you will need to cut pipes of different diameters into thin rings. On paper, you need to draw a layout of the future craft in real size and collect it directly on it from pipe scraps. You can create both a strict geometric frame and a set of randomly 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 easy to create a decorative partition from pipes, which can decorate not only the interior of the house, but also the suburban area. Efforts, of course, will have to make more, but they are worth it.

Shoe rack or wine rack

The situation with a bunch of shoes in the corner of the hallway is familiar to many, but there is not always a place to install a full-fledged shoe cabinet. In this case, you can dream up and make a craft-shoe rack made of 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 with self-tapping screws, so that the design is as reliable and durable as possible.

The assembled product must be fixed on the wall to prevent falling. Such a shoe rack is compact and in appearance is no worse than purchased organizers for shoes.
