Project

Mikayla (13) finished a quick weekend project making a small & beautiful PVC chair to use as a photography prop for her animals.

She first cut a length of 20mm PVC conduit to size and then assembled the chair with a few 20mm pvc T-pieces and elbows. A quick spray paint applied to all of the components, then sowing the ends of the material into loops in order to run the cross bars through and she was done.

The project is easy enough scale, and she may follow this project up with a slightly bigger chair for her younger sister.
