Smartphones and telephones have become an integral part of our lives. Without them - nowhere. Have you ever considered how many times a day you pick up your smartphone and how much time you spend on it? Try it, the results may surprise you! Today we will make using your phone even more convenient, or rather, we will make it so that it always remains in sight. We offer a very simple and easy master class“Cardboard phone stand”!

You will need almost nothing to get started:

• cardboard roll from toilet paper;
• scissors;
• marker (felt-tip pens, stickers - optional);
• 10 minutes time.

⇒ Step 1. Take a cardboard toilet paper roll. If you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter, take thick cardboard (you can use colored cardboard for children's creativity), cut out a strip, roll it up and seal the edges securely. It is important that the glue is good and the roll does not come unglued over time.

⇒ Step 2. Press the roll lightly and draw a line with a marker as shown in the photos below. Pay attention to two parallel short lines - this will be a cutout for a smartphone. Its width should be slightly larger than the thickness of the smartphone. Using scissors, carefully cut the cardboard along the line.

⇒ Step 3. The stand itself is ready, now you can decorate it, for example, paint it with a black marker, paste it with colored paper or funny stickers.

Using the same principle, you can make stands for tablets, only for them you will need either two cardboard rolls of toilet paper, or one, but with a larger diameter.

It happens that in some places there is not always a stable connection, in my case the Beeline operator, since the tower is located far away and nearby trees prevent it from transmitting a signal easily. I didn’t want to make any kind of antenna for the phone, I came up with a simpler one, this is a stand for the phone, which could be placed in the place where the connection is stable and does not depend on weather conditions. And I’ll tell you how to make a phone stand in this article.

As with any other homemade product, we need to decide necessary materials.

To make this stand you will need:
* Parquet.
* Board 8cm wide.
* Epoxy glue.
* Threads, matches.
* Black felt.
* Hacksaw on metal.
* Drill and drill bits for it with a diameter of 3 and 6 mm.
* Coarse and fine-grained sandpaper.
* Screw 55mm long.

These are all the materials we need, which are not difficult to obtain, and if there is no parquet, then any strong board will do.

Now you can begin the gradual production of the stand.

Step one.
The first step is to determine the dimensions of the future stand; to do this, measure the dimensions of the phone that you want to install in the stand in the future, and don’t forget to measure the thickness.

In my case, the thickness of the phone turned out to be quite large for the current time; after all, 1.5 cm is not small for a phone in 2017, but all this takes into account the fact that the phone has a protective bumper.
For convenience, we make a drawing on paper or in a program, as I did.

Step two.
After you have decided on the size of the stand, you can take up the tools and cut out the main part. The basis of the stand is its so-called back, the dimensions of which are 8*9cm. We take the thickness of the base to be 5 mm, no more and no less, since we don’t want the stand to be heavy or too fragile due to lack of thickness. To do this, I sawed an already cut 8*9 board across, reducing the thickness from 18 to 5 mm.

Now you need to drill a hole to attach the stand to the wall, first drill with a 3mm drill, then 6mm, but not all the way through, in order to hide the screw head. Then we round the corners with sandpaper.

Step three.
When the base is ready, you can start making the legs, which, due to their design, will prevent the phone from falling.
It seemed to me best to make the paws from parquet, which I found in my garage.

At first it was planned that the legs would be composite, that is, assembled from two parts.

But due to the loss of strength with such a connection, I decided to make them solid. The result is a foot in the shape of the letter G.

In my design there are three such legs.

Step four.
At first of great importance appearance I didn’t add any pressure, but as production progressed I realized that all the sharp edges needed to be rounded, which is what I did.

It is best to round off sharp edges with coarse sandpaper. Once the desired result is achieved, sand with a finer grit to remove all burrs.
Also, do not forget to sand the main part, since the surface of contact with the phone should be smooth.
Step five.
After all the component parts have been sanded, you can proceed to attaching them to the base.
For these purposes, epoxy glue is best suited, which I have tested several times and has proven itself to be highly durable.

Stir with matches one to one required quantity epoxy glue and coat the places where the paws will be installed.

Epoxy glue takes a long time to dry, but keep it with your hands long time The parts to be glued simply do not have the patience. Without thinking twice, I decided that the easiest way to fasten such a structure was with thread and matches, wrapping a dozen turns around its edges. Because of large quantity turns of thread, everything is held securely, and most importantly, the parts are pressed tightly enough.
First we glue the bottom foot in the middle, and then the two side ones.

I had to tinker a little with the side ones, in this case it was better to ask a friend to help, since two hands were clearly not enough to hold two parts, and also to wrap it all around with thread.

Leave everything until completely dry.
Step six.
The epoxy glue has dried and despite the fact that the width of the contacting plane is only 5 mm, the paws hold on very tightly.

It's time to give the stand a makeover. We cover it with black felt, first we do this with the back, after which we move on to the legs.

How often, when we are at home, in the office or on the road, we cannot remember where we put our phone. To prevent this from happening, you should get comfortable and ergonomic stands that you can make yourself. A phone stand can be made with your own hands from the most unexpected materials at hand. Ours will tell you how to do this. step by step wizard Class.

How to make a phone stand with your own hands: options for the office and car

Whether at work or in the car, we all need to be connected at all times. At the same time, you don’t want to spend a lot of money on expensive stands, because they can be made from waste and used materials.

Card stand.

The simplest version of a phone holder is a card stand. To make it, you need to carefully bend the unnecessary plastic card in two places, as shown in the photo below, without allowing it to break.

Experience shows that the stand is made of plastic card is very reliable and can even withstand air travel during severe turbulence.

Stand made from office clips.

To make a phone stand from paper clips or binders, as they are also called, you will need one large and one small clip. The legs of the small clamp should be placed between the holding part of the large clamp and the resulting structure should be placed on the table so that the larger clamp rests on its surface.

Similar coasters can be made in five minutes from clothespins.

Paper clips make great option car stands. To make it, you need to disassemble the clamp large size and bend the metal parts slightly as shown in the photo below.

To avoid damaging the surface of the phone metal fastenings It is recommended to wrap the threads in several layers. We return the holders to their place, additionally securing them with adhesive tape and a rubber band. We attach the clamp to the ventilation blinds. The phone is securely attached between the metal parts of the binder.

Paper stand.

Ordinary office paper, folded in a certain way, can even support the weight of large smartphone. To make a paper stand, you need to measure the dimensions of the phone and adjust the pattern below to fit them.

Cut the piece out of paper, fold it along the dotted lines and insert the side parts into the slots. This design is good because it allows you to charge your phone without removing it from the stand.

We study popular options for stands for home comfort

A desktop phone stand for the home should not only be comfortable, but also durable, stylish and fit well into the interior of your home. Let's consider options for such products.

Stand made of newspaper tubes.

A phone stand made from newspaper tubes will be a wonderful gift and an excellent decoration for any interior.

To weave such a stand, you will need several pre-painted long newspaper tubes, scissors, knitting needles, a little glue and varnish.

We place six workpieces parallel to each other at a distance of approximately 1-1.5 cm and firmly fix them in the machine or any in a convenient way. We place knitting needles or wire in the outer racks to make it more convenient to form smooth and neat contours of the product. We begin to braid the base with a working tube using the rope technique or calico weaving. We monitor the parallelism of the rows and, if necessary, coat them with glue for better fixation.

We weave a rectangular piece required length. We take out the knitting needles or wire. The ends of the stands are carefully tucked in and trimmed. We give the workpiece the required curved shape, if necessary, wetting it a little with water.

Similarly, we weave the leg of the stand using fewer tubes. We bend the finished leg, install it on the main part and secure its posts between the rows of the stand. We cut off the excess and hide it. We coat the product with glue, if desired, additionally paint it and cover it with 1-2 layers of varnish. After complete drying, the stand can be used for its intended purpose.

Stand made of origami modules.

Modular origami- a fairly young, but very popular type of needlework. With its help, you can make many unusual and original gizmos, including a phone stand from modules.

To make a stand you will need double-sided blue and pink color. We cut the sheets into blanks and fold the modules.

We start weaving from the base of the stand. It will require 28 blue modules, which must be connected to each other and closed in a ring. We make three more rows in the same way. From the fifth row we reduce the number of modules by 1, 2, 3, 4 pieces. In the seventh row we place one pink module in the middle.

In the eighth row we put 6 modules, make a skip, another 10 modules, skip, 6 modules. The number of pink modules is 2 pieces. In the next row, we place three pink modules on the pink area. We begin to design the shaped edging of the stand, as shown in the photo below.

In the back part we form a heart-shaped pattern, above which we install a number of modules blue color. Gradually narrow the stand until a triangular wedge forms at its back.

The module stand is ready!

Having cute, cozy touches in your home helps create a warm atmosphere. Making something interesting and useful at the same time is not so difficult. Today almost everyone has mobile phone. When we return home, we most often put it on the table. It happens that we don’t notice and throw papers or other things on top, and sometimes we even lose them on the desktop. A DIY phone stand solves two problems at once: you will forever be able to allocate a place for your phone and develop the design yourself.

How to make a phone stand?

You probably have at least one cardboard box at home. From such waste material you can create something unique. We suggest making a phone stand from paper and an old box.

1. To work, you need to prepare office glue, a pencil with a ruler, and a knife.

2. Before you make a phone stand, you need to prepare the cardboard. Cut rectangles measuring 10x20cm. We will need 9 such blanks.

3. Now you need to glue them together in threes.

4. On two of them we draw such a detail. This will be the side of the DIY phone stand.

5. Cut it out. In order for everything to be beautiful and the structure not to lose stability, you need to put the sidewalls one on top of the other and check how similar they are.

6. Take a utility knife and cut a hole in the shape of a rectangle.

7. Next, you need to make the base for the phone stand with your own hands. We measure the width of the phone and cut out a stand to fit the size of the third piece. The width of the phone is the length of our rectangle. The width of the rectangle should be such that it can fit into the grooves on the sides.

8. We assemble the structure. You will also need a small circle made of cardboard, its diameter is slightly less than the distance between the sides. (photo 8)

9. All blanks must be covered with paper. This could be a newspaper clipping or scrapbooking paper.
10. To make the back, take two pencils or something similar. We make holes in the sides and insert them there. We put our cardboard circle on the axle.
11. Your DIY mobile phone stand is ready!

Another DIY phone stand option

You can make a simpler version of this stand from cardboard.

You can make a small phone stand with your own hands from the most simple materials. Our small master class will help you in your work. Handmade things bring warmth and comfort to your home.

This funny cat phone stand is easy to make in one evening. To do this, we will need fabric from old jeans to trim the cup, denim or any other fabric for the head, legs and tail.

To work you will need:

1. Denim (stripes of different colors).
2. A piece of bright fabric for a scarf.
3. A little padding polyester or cotton wool for the paws, tail and head.
4. A glass of cotton swabs.
5. Cardboard for the bottom.
6. 4 buttons.
7. Pencil, scissors, needle.

Let's get started:

Take a piece of paper and draw a pattern by hand. It's pretty simple, even if you don't know how to draw. You can do the head like this: circle the bottom of your glass from under the cotton swabs and step back a little from the edge. You will get the head of a cat. Cut out the pattern from paper. We will cut according to it:

• Head (with ears) – 2 parts,
• paw-hand – 4 parts,
• paw-leg – 4 parts,
• tail – 2 parts.

We select materials:

This is the box you need to take for work, it’s just the perfect size:

Next, we will make the bottoms for our stand. In this chopstick cup, the bottom diameter is 8 cm. Yours may be different. For the outer bottom, cut out a larger circle of cardboard, and for the inner one, 0.5 cm smaller than the bottom of the stick glass. We cut out a circle with a diameter of 7.5 cm from denim fabric. We sew it along the edge with thread, insert cardboard and tighten the thread. The second circle is 1.5 cm larger, cut out of denim.

For the inside of the stand, take a suitable fabric measuring 12 cm (height of the glass + allowances on each side of 2 cm) * 27 cm (circumference length + allowances of 1 cm). Sew the fabric along the short side. We trim the allowances at the bottom of the resulting lining in several places. We put the inner lining into the cup, distribute the notched allowances so that there are no large folds. You can drop a little glue so that the lining does not “walk.”

We turn the top seam allowance onto the outside of the stand. We also secure it by dripping glue in a circle. If glue is not available, use tape. Then we need to design the cat's belly. Scraps from pant legs work well for tops and bottoms. Lay out the strips and secure them with pins.

Sew all the pieces along the short side. We put everything we sewed on our stand. On top of the cup we sew the lining and the top of the product with a hidden seam. Then we sew on the large bottom. Make sure it does not protrude beyond the diameter of the glass. If the bottom is large, trim off the excess cardboard.

Place the cat pattern on the fabric from which you decided to sew it. Cut out the pattern from paper and pin it to the fabric. Cut it out, adding a seam allowance of 0.5 cm.

Embroider the cat's face the way you like. You can sew beads or buttons instead of eyes.

We sew the paws, tail and head, leaving small gaps in the seams for stuffing with padding polyester. We turn out the details of the head, paws, and tail. We stuff the blanks with padding polyester or cotton wool.

Sew the paws, head and tail to the stand. The paws are sewn on at the top and secured with buttons.

We sew pieces of denim material onto the tail.

We tie a bright bow around our cat’s neck, and you can put a sewn mouse or fish in his paws. If you want to give a product, a souvenir, for example, a smoking pipe.

How to make a cute and original stand under a paper phone, our small master class will tell you. The stand can be made from a base: a cardboard ring left over from scotch tape, an empty round box of chips, salt, coffee, or a cup of cotton swabs.
