Wall drapings can be a stylish way to create dividers or partitions in a room. However, you'll need a frame that supports the draping in order to set one up. An inexpensive frame for a wall draping can be made out of PVC pipe. The convenient thing about making a freestanding frame out of PVC pipe is that you can make it as large or as small as you wish.
Instructions
1. Purchase lengths of PVC pipe as tall as you would like the frame to be. If the length isn't exact, you can cut lengths of PVC pipe down to size with a saw.
2. Stand one length of PVC pipe up and place an elbow joint on the end.
3. Insert a length of PVC pipe into the remaining end of the elbow joint so that the two pieces meet at a 45-degree angle. This will be the top of the frame, so make sure it is as long as your desired width for the frame.
4. Connect another elbow joint to the remaining end of the PVC pipe. You should now have an upside down "U" figure.
5. Place elbow joints on the bottom ends of the PVC pipe. Adjust the elbow joints so that they are facing out from the figure.
6. Insert lengths of PVC pipe into the elbow joints to form the support base of the structure. These lengths of pipe should be at least half as long as the vertical pieces to ensure that the structure is properly supported.
7. Stand the frame up and place end caps over the remaining ends of the PVC pipes on the ground.
