Instructions

Things You'll Need

• 4 1-½ inch PVC pipes at least 6 feet long
• 4 1-1/2 inch PVC pipes cut 1 foot long
• 4 end covers
• 2 elbow connectors
• 2 four-way connectors
• Fabric
• Scissors
• Pins
• Sewing machine

1. Make a square on the floor with the 6-foot long pipes.

2. Connect the top and the sides together with the elbow connectors. Connect the bottom and the sides with the four-way connector.

3. Place the 1 foot pipes into the open slots of the three-way connector. Place the end covers on the end of the pipes.

4. Measure and cut 6 1/4 feet of fabric.

5. Stretch the fabric over the frame. Pin it around the top to hold it. Fold the fabric under the bottom of the PVC pipe room divider. Mark the fabric on the top and the bottom where it wraps around. Use two sections of fabric to cover the divider completely.

6. Fold the fabric at the marks. Sew a seam on all but the bottom of the fabric.

7. Slide the fabric onto the divider.

Tips & Warnings

• Make more than one section to fit larger spaces and longer pipes. To connect the sections for larger rooms use a "T" connector on the top and a five-way connector on the bottom.

• Change the fabric on the divider for different occasions. Take the frame apart for storage.
