PVC Pipe Frame Laundry Hamper

Step 3 The Finished Product and Tips

Last thing to do when you have your frame is put the bag in the center and fold the bags edges over the top sides of the frame. Pull the drawstrings tight and you're ready to start getting some laundry dirty.

Here are both of my hampers. They took about 30 minutes to build while chatting and sitting on the garage floor with my dad and my dog. Without a dog, your build time my vary.

Tips:

If you don't have a PVC pipe cutter you should buy one. Mine was $10 bucks. Even if you aren't doing any irrigation, PVC pipe is just plain fun to build stuff with. I'm sure you're already thinking of other stuff you can build. A cutter will make your builds more fun and easier.

I didn't glue anything. I may go back and do that later if a joint pops open. I did use a dead blow mallet to pound things together a little.

I noticed my two frames didn't look exactly the same though the cuts were. A little difference is to be expected because PVC fittings aren't perfect but I was off by a vary noticable amount. A couple gentle taps from my mallet made all the joints snug and made the frames look much closer to eachother in dimension.
