Easy Steps to Craft a Custom PVC Knife Handle

Step 1: Seal the Bottom of the Pipe

Stuff a piece of tissue or paper firmly into one end of the PVC pipe section to act as a stopper for the glue.

Step 2: Fill with Hot Glue and Insert the Blade

Fill the pipe tube generously with molten hot glue. Insert the back end of the utility blade straight into the center of the pipe.

Step 3: Top Off and Let Cool

Add a final layer of hot glue around the blade base to lock it securely in place. Allow the glue to cool and solidify completely before use.
