Active Time:2 hours
Total Time:2 hours 30 minutes

Equipment

  • Miter saw
  • Sharpie
  • Tape Measurer
  • Pencil
  • 80 Grit Sandpaper

Supplies

Instructions

  • Use a tape measure and a permeant marker to mark length.
  • Cut the pipe to length.
  • Use 80 grit sandpaper to clean up pipe and edges at cuts.
  • Clean PVC pipe. We did this in our bathtub and let them completely dry. The adhesive and paint will stick better to 
  • “Dry fit” pieces together to make sure you are happy with the shape and size your shoe rack.
  • Use construction adhesive to put the pipe together. We used one bead line in between each place the pipes would touch.
  • You will need to prop or use clamps to keep it together while the adhesive is drying. We had a piece of wood against our dryer to hold the bottom against the wall and clamps on the other pieces.
  • The next day spray paint the new shoe shelf with the spray paint and the color of your choosing. Don’t be scared to showcase your personality with different colors.

Notes

  • Each section of pipe was cut to 11” for ours.
  • We used a miter saw but you can also use a regular hack saw. When cutting the 6” diameter with a miter saw you have to cut and rotate to get all the way through.
  • Hammered spray paint will give a textured look and may hide imperfections.
