  • In this video, learn how to make an inexpensive room divider fast! Since I'm making these for a video studio, I put a heavy felt fabric on one side to reduce reverb and kept the shiny silver material on the other for a handy light reflector. You can use interesting fabrics to turn your room divider into a design centerpiece. Lightweight and easy to maneuver, these temporary walls can be used to section off areas of a room for privacy, noise reduction or warmth. Each 4ft x 8ft panel with feet and fabric (optional) costs about $50 and can be completed in about 30 minutes.

    2 Questions
    📌Love your video but I don’t have a saw to cut the slot for the panels so how can I accomplish this another way?
    📌how much did that project cost about to create?

    • @DIWHYDOTLIFE
      @DIWHYDOTLIFE  9 місяців тому +7

      For the pipe and the panel it’s $50. If you can find white pvc that size it could bring the price down to $40. Home Depot has saws that customers can use in the trim aisle. I’d “borrow” a scroll saw to make the two final cuts in the pipe.

    • @DIWHYDOTLIFE
      @DIWHYDOTLIFE  6 місяців тому +4

      There are links to the materials in the description. The prices fluctuate based on supply.
      If you don’t have a saw you can actually make the two big cuts using the saw most home improvement stores provide in the baseboard and moldings aisle. Then to get the short cuts you could either “borrow” a hand scroll saw or you can drill a series of holes across and it’ll break free. Use a file to cleanup the edge.

    This seller ships this item very carefully to ensure that your room divider ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxWv_wTHyTRVm0QkcOw1Rz2-5g_gDoRTkU is not damaged in transit. They even place stickers saying glass, handle with care. I originally bought a 4 panel room divider, but after receiving it I knew I needed larger for the area I was trying to hide. I wanted a 6 panel, but it was not offered in the Espresso color that I wanted, so I went with 5 panels. This is serving my purpose very well on hiding my dog's pee pads. I ended up using the 4 panel one in a corner behind my Christmas tree. The best thing is you do not have to put anything together, you just take it carefully out of the box and place it where you want it. It can be moved around very easily. Plus, these dividers start at the floor, so nothing is seen moving around on the other side like some other dividers I looked into. Now that I have a 4 and 5 panel one, I am sure that I can get them to overlap and work other ways should I need to in the future.

I decided to use tacky glue spray instead of the white glue roll on. Local HD didn’t have the VPC pipe so I found room divider feet online for about $20 (same as the price of the pipe without the cutting and painting work.
