Whether you tried the cavemen way to light up your joint or just discovered a last-minute fix, the man always finds something to makeshift while the original object of interest is missing.
Honestly, it is annoying to have this powerful craving to smoke, only to realize you don’t have the equipment.

Before we jump into the many wonderful ways to make a homemade pipe, here are some tips and tricks to get you through.
How to make a pipe – Tips to follow
1. Keep clear off plastic bowls
I know that the desperate moment doesn’t really give you enough time to put your brain into action, but make sure you stay away from plastic bowls. The obvious reason is that plastic is not heat resistant and will melt when lit. And they’re pretty toxic too! You can use a plastic container to hold the smoke, but the bowl is always metal or non-plastic.
2. Food Items – Select them carefully
If you know a thing or two about good homemade pipes, they are usually made from fruits and vegetables. I will be explaining how, but before you start, make sure the food item is not rotten, or wrinkled and clumsy. We want to have a sturdy and ripe body. Mushy food items will collapse and make this entire event unsuccessful.
3. Screening
Screening is important! It helps to keep the unwanted ash and gunk from entering your smoke and ruining your evening. Make sure you always use a screen with whatever you are smoking, whenever possible. Whether you use Metal screens, Glass or quartz screens or Brass screen; the choice is yours.
Now, are you ready to finally have an answer to how to make a homemade pipe? Brace yourself; we are going to be very innovative and peculiar.
How to make an Apple pipe
First off, we have this classic homemade piece. This apple pipe is great when you are on the go, and making it is very easy. How do you make an apple pipe?
Step 1: Gather your supplies. You need an apple, mouthpiece, small tube to serve as a carb hole, a nail, a lighter, and of course, your herbs.
Step 2: Take the fresh apple and poke a hole in the side of the apple with the mouthpiece until about half of the apple. Leave the mouthpiece in the apple.
Step 3: Make a hole on the left side on the top of the apple; this will serve as a carb hole. Make sure the hole is deep enough. It should be poked to the middle of the apple, just as deep as the mouthpiece.
Step 4: Remove the stem of the apple and use the nail to poke a hole till the middle of the apple. The hole should meet the hole of the mouthpiece and carb hole.
Step 5: Load your bowl (which is the top of the apple) with your herbs, light it, and enjoy!
An apple pipe a day keeps the doctor away is how the saying goes, right?
How to make a Pen pipe
This one can be constructed in less than a minute, so it’s a great one to use if you are in a time crunch. How do you make a pen pipe?
Step 1: Gather your supplies. You need a pen, a lighter, and adhesive tape (optional).
Step 2: Take a pen that you can easily dismantle, then remove the ink chamber.
Step 3: Place the nib on the tip the opposite way that it would normally fit on the pen.
Step 4: Fill the nib with your cannabis and tape the nib to the pen for support.

How to make Steamroller pipe
This is perhaps the easiest one to make, which is perfect if you don’t have a lot of time. How do you make a steamroller?
Step 1: Gather your supplies. You need a discarded toilet paper roll, aluminum foil, a needle, scissors, and your herbs.
Step 2: Take a discarded toilet paper roll or paper towel roll and cut a round hole in the side for the bowl.
Step 3: Cover the hole in the foil, then poke holes in the foil with the needle.
Step 4: Add your herbs to the bowl.
Step 5: cover the end closest to the bowl with your hand, light the bowl and take a hit.
The Soda Can Pipe
The Soda Can Pipe is another one of the simplest methods. All you really need is a metal soda can and a knife. The mouthpiece is already right there for you, so all you have to do is make the side into a bowl.
Make a dent in the side of your can then use a knife or needle to create holes. This is where you place your weed and light it. Inhale from the mouthpiece of the can and you’ll get smooth hits with solid airflow.
While this is one of the easiest homemade pipes to make, it’s not the best. Burning soda cans can often result in inhaling toxins due to the paint on the side. However, if you have no other options, it’s very effective.
The Ice Block Pipe
Another homemade smoking device that really doesn’t require much other than a knife and some water is the Ice Block Pipe. You’ll want to freeze a large block of ice using a container in your freezer.
Once you have your block of ice, you’ll need to carefully carve out a hole through the end to make a stem and mouthpiece and another hole in the side to use for a bowl. Now, just put your weed in the bowl, light, and inhale.
The Ice Block Pipe will give you incredibly smooth and cool hits. Although it can be tricky to carve the perfect pipe out of ice, you can get specially-designed molds to make things easier.
Conclusion
From plastic containers to pieces of food, these are some of the best ways to make a homemade pipe or bong. However, while these methods are a lot of fun and can help you out in drastic situations, it’s best to buy a high-quality device for smoking.
