Step-by-Step Guide
Prepare the Pipes
Measure and mark the plastic pipes to create the structure of your bench. Cut them into equal lengths using a saw. You’ll need several pieces to form a sturdy base and seat. Once cut, smooth the edges with sandpaper to remove any roughness.

Assemble the Bench Base and Seat
Apply strong glue to the edges of the pipes and attach them together to create a solid base. Next, glue additional pipes side by side to form the seat of the bench. Press firmly and let the glue dry completely before moving to the next step.


Attach the Base to the Seat
Once both elements are fully dried, secure the seat onto the base with more glue. Let it set according to the glue’s instructions to ensure a stable and durable structure.

Prime the Pipes
For the best paint adhesion and a smooth finish, apply a primer to the entire bench. This step helps the Montana GOLD spray paint bond properly, especially on plastic surfaces. Allow the primer to dry completely before painting.
Apply Montana GOLD Spray Paint
Shake the Montana GOLD spray cans for 2-3 minutes before use. Wearing gloves and a mask, begin spraying in thin, even layers, blending red and pink shades to create a vibrant gradient effect. Apply the colors lightly and in multiple coats to prevent drips or over-saturation. Let each layer dry before adding more color.


Final Drying and Finishing Touches
Allow the bench to dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Depending on humidity and temperature, this may take several hours. Once the paint is fully cured, your bench is ready to use.

Enjoy Your New Hallway Bench
Place your bench in the hallway as a stylish focal point. It’s perfect for resting your bag, coat. The striking red and pink gradient adds a modern and artistic touch to your space.
This DIY low bench is a fantastic way to create a unique piece of furniture that’s both practical and visually appealing. With the bold color combination and sleek design, it’s sure to make a statement in your home.
Happy crafting!
