Building a Stand for Making Hanging Crafts

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 1

Supplies:

• 1 10 ft PVC pipe ($3.25)
• 1 PVC cutter
• 1 hammer
• 2 elbow couplers ($4.50)
• 2 tee couplers ($6.50)

I was able to borrow the PVC pipe cutter and already owned a hammer.

Steps:

1. Cut your pipe into one 12" piece for the top, two 42" pieces for the sides, and divide the last piece into 4 pieces that come out to be "about" 6" each.
   
   I originally designed it to have 4 4" stands vertical from the 6" stands so there are more elbows and tees there than I needed.

 
2. Assemble the 2 elbows on the top and sides, connecting the 3 pieces.
3. Using the tee's, put your stand legs on in the opposite direction of the stand pieces. These are easy to tap in with a little hammer. You don't need glue.
