Big and warm hello to all! For a long time I did not write in the "DIY" section. Regular readers probably forgot that such a thing exists. But oh well, I'll fix it today. And I will share with you very cool ideas on how to make a phone stand with your own hands.

Recently I have been reading a lot, studying information, watching videos. But holding the phone in your hands is not very convenient. And it happens that, for example, I cook food, cut food, and the phone has to be propped up with whatever comes to hand. And suddenly an idea came to my mind, why not buy a stand in the store, which will greatly facilitate my life. Having searched on the Internet, having found the answer to the question of what it costs and for what, I came across a photo that depicted the same thing, but made in seconds and with my own hands. Then the thought lit up in my head, to put together a few inspiring ideas. And as a result, an interesting post was born, I hope. So, let's begin!


I propose to start with the very best option for a paper phone stand. You can build it anytime and anywhere, the main thing is to have a sheet of paper about A4 size on hand. I think this idea will appeal to students and schoolchildren. The main principle here is to take a sheet of paper, preferably thick, folded lengthwise to get at least 3 layers, but of course everything depends on the width. Then again it is necessary to fold the paper, making folds across so that 3 wide edges of the same width and one small one are formed. Look at the photo, it clearly shows what should happen in the end. And the last step is to make two small folds.


I can’t even imagine who can keep such a rarity as a box from under tape cassettes for a tape recorder. But it turns out that such an object, which would seem to be completely useless, can be used. In a couple of seconds, turning it over in a certain way (see photo), you will get a very cool smartphone stand. Moreover, if you paint it with paint from a bottle, then few people will guess what it is made of.


If you have several manufacturers from the designer lying around at home, then it is quite possible to build a structure in order to keep your phone in a horizontal position. And this is done in a matter of minutes. And it is also easy to disassemble it, putting it back in place.


A plastic card as a phone stand? The idea is bold, but very real. You just need a couple of cards and strong scissors. Cut the details as shown in the photo and enjoy watching videos, photos and reading e-books.


The next way to make your life easier is to stock up on six pencils and four rubber bands. In fact, you need to make a three-dimensional figure, as shown in the figure. Start with a simple triangle, then add one edge at a time, holding it all together with rubber bands. Get the original supply for the phone.


Having a couple of wooden cuts in the house, it’s really possible to make an interesting and original, and most importantly, durable device for smartphones. You can glue the parts with hot or universal polymer glue. Indeed, such a design will serve you for a very long time.



And here are some more life hacks for the phone, allowing you to maintain them while charging. Such devices are needed mainly when there is simply no place to put the gadget, if there is no table or cabinet nearby. These holders are made from plastic bottle, as in the first case, or from thick cardboard, as in the second.

How many toilet paper roll ideas I've seen, but this one! You will need the sleeve itself and 4 paper buttons (to be honest, I don’t know what they are called correctly). Attach them as legs, cut a hole in the top to fit your phone, and enjoy the result. Of course, it is better to decorate such a stand with something or just paint it.

As you already understood, making a paper phone stand is the easiest option. So, you will need a piece of very thick cardboard. If there is none, then make it from several layers, gluing to each other. Cut holes in the part as shown. Moreover, such a holder is suitable not only for smartphones, but also for tablets.


Well, the very last of the ways I suggested to make a do-it-yourself phone stand is to use a clerical clip. I'm sure everyone has it, and if not, then it's not very expensive in stores. Take a couple of such devices, bend one rounded part of the paper clip inward. It will serve as a barrier for the phone so that it does not roll off. Nest one binder inside another. Place the smartphone so that it rests on one ear, and the second one is bent from the side of the screen. Here's a simple holder for you!

That's all for today, I hope you liked the ideas and got inspired to make one of the presented gizmos! See you soon!

Then we retreat 4 cm from both sides, this part of the structure should fit snugly against the table, like a support. The next step is to bend the paperclip in the middle up so that the previous bent parts remain even, perpendicular to the table.

Surely those who study or work in the office will have several stationery clips called binders on their desktop. Next, let's look at how to make a phone stand from these devices. To create a strong holder, you can use 1, 2, 3 or even more binders. Some craftsmen assemble three-dimensional structures from a variety of different size clip. But such coasters look bulky, and they are inconvenient for temporary use. It is enough to fasten two binders together and do not forget to bend one metal end of the holder slightly towards the phone located on it. Even one piece with a folded lug will be enough to support the mobile device.

From the same binders, you can build another structure by placing the clamps opposite each other so that the ears look to the sides. The phone is inserted into these ends, as if into grooves. To keep the clips stable, clamp a small piece of cardboard on both sides.

Using pencils

If there are no binders at hand, the question may arise: how to make a phone stand out of pencils. Before building this design, prepare 4 rubber bands and 6 pencils. In fact, you need to collect a volumetric geometric figure- tetrahedron. The principle is that it is necessary to fasten two pencils with an elastic band, and stick the third between the turns. It is advised to use pencils with an elastic at the end to prevent slipping on the table and a stronger grip on the phone.

On the opposite area of ​​the bottle, cut a hole corresponding to the parameters of the charger. You should end up with a piece that looks like a handbag or a pocket with a handle. Put the phone in the stand and connect the adapter to the network through the hole. Your mobile communication device will not lie on the floor, and the risk of crushing it will disappear. You learned another way - how to make a phone stand. If desired, this holder can be painted, pasted over with beautiful paper or cloth.
