Things You'll Need:
- 4 1/2-inch PVC pipe cut 3 inches in length
- 2 1/2-inch PVC pipe cut 6 inches in length
- 3 1/2-inch PVC 3 way connectors
- 1 1/2-inch PVC pipe cut 12 inches in length
- PVC cement
- Drill with 1/8 inch drill bit
- 8 1/8-inch dowel rods cut 6 inches in length
-
Step 1
Connect two 3-inch PVC pipes together with the straight holes in a 3-way connector. Glue the connector and pipes together with the PVC cement to hold them in place. Repeat this with the other two 3-inch pipes and 3-way connectors.
-
Step 2
Turn the pipes flat on the table so the empty holes in the 3-way connectors are sideways and facing each other. Slide one 6-inch PVC pipe into each of the open connectors. Apply PVC cement around the connectors. This needs to look like an "H" with a hole in the middle.
-
Step 3
Connect the two 6-inch pipes together with a 3-way connector. Make sure the open end of the 3-way connector faces up. Add cement to the pipes to secure them together. This completes the "H" shape. Theses pipes are the base of the holder.
-
Step 4
Glue the 12-inch pipe into the open end of the 3-way connector in the middle of the "H" shape. This pipe is the vertical holder.
-
Step 5
Drill two holes in each side of the 12-inch pipe so the dowel rods fit in at 45-degree angles, with the drill and 1/8 inch bit. The holes must be spaced out and alternated between sides. For example, if you placed a hole 3 inches from the top and 3 inches from the bottom, on the side other side, drill a hole in between the those holes and on the bottom of the pipe. This allows the ribbon to turn without disrupting the other ribbons.
-
Step 6
Place glue around one end of each dowel rod. Slide them into their respective holes at 45-degree angles. Allow the glue to dry. This will look like a small version of a hat rack.
-
Step 7
Slide the ribbons onto the dowel rods.
