Pipe sleeves DIY + Looks


These are pipe sleeves and you can find them in B&Q or plumbers shops, plumbers normally use them to cover indoor pipes for example the heating pipes, the material looks solid as metal but is like plastic, silver polypropylene sort of thing it can be cut with normal paper scissors.
 Cut different sizes and just place them in a cord and voila! 
Religion vest + DIY necklace
Hope everybody is having a great week! I've been having a bit of insomnia after a few weeks of indulgence and lack of sleep. I'm happy to go back to the old routine now. Hope you like the DIY :)

  45. En españa venden almidón para la ropa, seguro que tiene que haber en Inglaterra también. Mira en Boots que tienen de todo.
    Son como unos polvos, los diluyes en agua y remojas lo que quieras, una vez que ha chpado el líquido, escurres, planchas y es auténtico papel. Muy fuerte!!!
    A ver con qué sales???

  54. what a great find, and i love your look ! super idea, will definitely keep an eye out for the pipe sleeves next time i find myself in a hardware store =)

    ReplyDelete
  55. The two main reasons to use this sort of pipe sleeve are for protection from odor or fire. When the sleeve is around a water pipe, that pipe will eventually go into the sewer. By placing an airtight seal around the opening in the floor around the pipe, sewer odor won’t come back up around it.

  56. Fantastic! Even pipe tube can be used as accessories.
