Making stuff from PVC is a fun project. You cut it, sand it, glue it, and paint it. All you need is ideas.
I purchased a couple lengths of PVC, 2″ and 3″, and several caps to make a free form pen holder for my office and individual tool/pen holders for my sewing table. I had PVC cement at home.
I used my compound miter saw to cut the pipe since I wanted smooth edges. I sanded the bottom and top edges and glued the caps in place. This is the first time I’ve tried angle cuts for one of the tool holder so it would lean forward.
I bought plastic spray paint in a Khaki color and sprayed the PVC inside and out.
Here’s what they look like after I filled them up. I may need to make another low one. The second one in the picture ended up in the kitchen to hold chalk for my new chalkboard.
This is the one I had already made for my office. I glued the individual sections together so it’s one piece. I love being able to have separate holders for different things. Makes it easier to grab stuff.
