The project:

After cutting the pipe to length, I painted it with an underwater theme featuring jellyfish, seaweed and fish before sealing it with a clear protective coat. It mounts neatly to a wall or post, making it a practical addition to an outdoor entertaining area while adding a bit of personality. It was a simple weekend project using affordable materials and was a great way to get creative.

Hello @veronicaclift

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your stubby holder project.

That underwater paint work is just outstanding! The details on the jelly fish and the fish are very nice and focuses your attention to the underwater scenery instead of the pipe. Using a PVC pipe is very clever, it's a fantastic way to hold the stubbies and keep your hands free for the BBQ.

Again, thank you for sharing such a creative project.
