Today we are celebrating PVC piping but not in the way you may think. PVC pipes are great for funnelling water about the place but they also have real value as a storage solution.

To show you just how handy PVC pipng can be, we have curated this list of awesome PVC piping storage hacks.

1. Portable knife holders

Make a knife container out of PVC pipe and two caps. Simply glue a cap on one end of the PVC pipe and use the other cap as a lid. Be sure to mark the unglued cap with an X so you know which end to open.

5. Sticky situation

Use PVC piping in the workshop to store caulking products. When stored horizontally caulking products can be dispensed much more easily and storing them in a stack saves tons of space.

6. Curls made simple

Store hair curlers on the inside of a bathroom cabinet with PVC piping. This solution is also applicable to hair straighteners though you will need to stick a cap to the underside to prevent the straighter from slipping straight through the pipe.
