So I was wondering, does anyone know or have any suggestions on how to make Ivan's waterpipe? Thank you!

You can easily go to a Home Depo and get some plastic tubing and silver spray paint. It should not be more than ten dollars.

Whoa~ Didn't expect an answer so fast (not that I'm complaining)
Thank you so much! I'll try that~

Perhaps PVC pipe and paper mache for the faucet part?

Paper mache sounds good for the faucet, as does PVC pipe! Thank you for helping!

My best advice as far as something that could be carried around easily and NOT MADE OF SKULL CRUSHING METAL would be some old PVC piping spray painted silver.

Heading to Home Depot/Lowes/any other hardware store, they have entire aisles of nothing but PVC pipes, and I've seen spigot caps like his.

I haven't worked with PVC in years (helping my DIY dad) but it's nothing harder than screwing the piping into the other pieces, and they come in all shapes and sizes!

Hope that helps.

Thank you! I've worked with PVC before but never thought of that! Thank you again~

Or you can get the real thing at a Home Depot, Menard's, or other hardware store. You can do it with a standard spigot and a piece of 3/8" pipe threaded on one end; get a length of about 18 to 24 inches. Connect the fitting on the base of the spigot to the threading on the pipe, and you have Ivan's waterpipe.

If you don't mind actual metal, you could probably easily buy it at a hardware store, as ejsthespie said. It might cost a little more but it would probably be less hassle than making it. =) If there's a Lowes near you, that's the first place I'd try.

Get a pipe from a hardware store with a faucet and an elbow. I got mine for about $10, easy. If you want it all to be the same color, you could spraypaint it, but it's fairly easy.

Lol... I was going to suggest a Lowes/Home Depot type of hardware store, but I see that you've already gotten several suggestions. Good luck! ♥
