This woman uses PVC pipe in the most stunning way

Most of us think PVC isn't good for anything but plumbing projects, but it can actually be used for so many more things! Believe it or not, you can use it to make everything from gorgeous home decor to useful storage pieces.
Still feeling a little bit doubtful? I don't blame you, but try making some of these projects – your friends will never believe they were made from PVC!

1. DIY succulent garden (h/t Hoosier Homemade)
I'm definitely obsessed with succulents these days, and I wouldn't be surprised if you are too! They're easy to take care of and they look great... plus it's so easy and inexpensive to make these PVC succulent pots!
2. Light-up candy cane decoration (h/t eHow)
Is Christmas here yet? Maybe not quite, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start thinking about your holiday decorations. I think I'll make at least a couple of these to put in my front yard!
3. Lamp
PVC pipe lends a steampunk vibe to this tabletop lamp, and the Edison bulb tops it off. This project proves that form and function can be equally prioritized while adding a potent dose of style to a room. Get the full tutorial here.
4. Decoupage vases (h/t Mod Podge Rocks)
Who doesn't love a good decoupage project? If you can find some spare family photos to use for this, these vases would make an awesome Mother's Day gift!
5. Laundry basket
It makes utter sense to supply every family member with their own laundry basket, and this project goes one step further: The fabric that is attached to the PVC pipe body can be chosen to match the color scheme and style of the space in which it will sit. This hamper can be used for other things in addition to laundry, such as toys or a sewing fan’s fabric collection. Get the full tutorial here.
6. Industrial shelf (h/t Sawdust 2 Stitches)
I love the industrial look, but I've always been hesitant to spend hundreds of dollars on a shelf that I'm not sure will suit my home! Here's the solution: a DIY shelf made from painted PVC pipe. You could make yours as big or as small as you like!
7. Wreath (h/t A Beautiful Mess)
Now this is something you don't see everyday. This PVC pipe wreath will sure be the statement decor piece of any room! We are in love with how chic it is! The birds add a lovely touch.
8. Craft supply storage (h/t Today's Creative Life)
Why spend money on cubby storage when you could make your own? This is definitely a great way to store paint or chalk in your craft room, but it could also work as storage in almost any other room of the house!
9. Tape holder (h/t Sowdering About In Seattle)
If your tape or ribbon collection is out of hand, you need this clever tape holder in your life! My inner perfectionist definitely likes the idea of being able to color coordinate all my ribbon on different racks... but even one or two of these would be so handy!
10. Patterned lamp (h/t Dremel)
I would have never guessed that these lamps were made out of PVC pipe – they look so fancy. You'll need some special tools to make this project, but the lamps are almost pretty enough to be worth the cost of buying the tools!
11. Napkin rings (h/t Homemade By Carmona)
The next time you throw a dinner party, why not include these gorgeous napkin rings on your table? If you have some fabric you like, you could paint the PVC in a matching color!
12. Industrial-style table (h/t Bre Purposed)
This DIY table is such a fun and unexpected way to bring a bit of industrial chic into your home! It might be a little wobbly, but it would still make a great decorative piece.
13. Modernized dresser (h/t Vintage Revivals)
Who would have thought that PVC could be used to spruce up an old piece of furniture? This dresser was done so well, but you could use this technique on almost any piece of furniture. You could even paint the PVC for a totally different look!
14. Toothbrush holder (h/t Crafting In The Rain)
No more guessing whose toothbrush is whose in the morning! These toothbrush holders make it crystal clear, and I love that they can be mounted on the inside of a cupboard drawer to keep your toothbrushes out of view.
15. Desk organizer
How fun is this quirky desk organizer? Each pipe piece can be cut to a different length and covered with contact paper cut to size. The tilted positioning of the pipe pieces adds a bit of sophisticated style, and the piece offers an easy-to-access landing spot for scissors, pens, paper clips, and other work essentials.
