DIY PVC Pipe Frame Laundry Hamper
We’ve got an easy step-by-step guide that will walk you through every part of the process. From gathering your materials to putting the final touches on your new laundry hamper, you’ll find all the necessary details here.
- 15 1/2 inch long pieces of 1/2 inch PVC pipe
- 13 1/2 inch long pieces of 1/2 inch PVC pipe
- 7 1/2 inch long pieces of 1/2 inch PVC pipe
- 3 1/2 inch long pieces of 1/2 inch PVC pipe
- 1/2 inch T fittings
- 1/2 inch 90-degree elbows
- Cotton laundry bag with a drawstring (about 32 inches long and 27 inches wide)
- PVC pipe cutter
Crafting the Bag:
Purchase or Customize Your Bag: You can either buy a cotton laundry bag from stores or make your own. If you’re opting for the latter, prepare two fabric panels measuring 35 inches by 28 inches.
Sewing The Bag: Stitch around three sides of your fabric panels, maintaining half an inch from the edge. Leave the top 28-inch side open. Fold the sides of this open end down about 2 1/2 inches and sew around the circumference (1/2 inch inward from the fabric edge). Turn the bag inside out, cut a small hole for the drawstring, and thread through.
Building the Frame:
Preparation: The frame needs multiple PVC pipes and fittings. Analyze the size of your bag first. The circumference of your frame should be a bit smaller than the opening of the laundry bag. Also, your frame’s height should be shorter than your bag’s length to ensure the bag sits on the ground.
Assembly: Assemble your PVC pipes using T fittings and 90-degree elbows as per the given lengths. The 15 1/2-inch pieces are vertical, while the 13 1/2-inch pieces are horizontal. This arrangement allows the opening for easy add or removal of the laundry bag.
Final Touches:
Pairing The Frame With The Bag: Once your frame is ready, place the bag in the middle of the frame. Pull the bag edges over the frame and tighten the drawstring. Now, your DIY PVC Pipe Frame Laundry Hamper is ready for use!
