Here is what you need to do to make your gorgeous COPPER PIPE TABLET HOLDER:
Materials:
According to abubblylife:
-1/2 inch Copper pipe (I purchased 5 feet, which was the smallest length available)
-Tubing CutterAll to fit 1/2 inch piping-
-2- 90 degree elbows
-2 street elbows
-2 tees
-4 pipe caps-Glue-Elmer’s Pro Bond Advanced
You can also solder the pipes together but the glue works as well if soldering is out of your area of expertise.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Glue the 8″ to the 6″ and the street elbows.
2. Glue the 4″ and the 1″ pieces to the T.
3. Glue the street elbows to the end of the 4″ pieces.
4. Glue pipe caps to each exposed pipe.
And voila!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!! It goes so beautifully with this copper pipe wine rack, too.

Thank you to thebubblylife for this amazing idea! See her site for more pics if you want to do this project.
You can just as easily use pvc
Once you pay for all the supplies using copper pipe, you would spend less money buying the finished product from Pottery Barn. PVC pipe would make it cheaper to make.
great craft idea for a child tomake for someone for Christmas, yes,PVC pipe is cheaper and you could paint it to the person’s favorite color
