Watch master class online: Creating a tablet for displaying jewelry at a photo shoot

Time flies at great speed, changing everything around us. If previously children were happy with constructors or cubes, today the situation is a little different. Many children have been familiar with computers, iPads and tablets from an early age, and requests to buy one of the new and fashionable devices for their birthday are no longer uncommon. In our article we will talk a little about something else. We will give you advice that will help you get your baby interested and possibly get him away from the computer. You don't need anything special to do this - you just need paper, a few tools and a lot of patience. Below we will tell you how to make a tablet out of paper - a wonderful toy for your child.

First, you need to stock up on some materials and tools.

So let's get started

Take one sheet, choose the color you like - that’s the color your homemade device will be. Cut a rectangle from it. Now take the cardboard and cut out another rectangle - this will be the base for our toy. The rectangle should be several (2-3 cm) smaller than the first one on each side.
Place the cardboard template on the laid out piece of paper so that it is in the middle. Now start folding each edge of the colored sheet. The side parts can simply be folded, and the bottom and top edges must be folded so that no obvious folds are visible. You can use scissors for this, just cut off the unnecessary and unnecessary parts.
Now we need to cut out two squares from multi-colored paper, and if we place them on our tablet, they should completely cover the front part. Once you have cut them out, glue them to the workpiece, before doing this, place an iron clip under one square. Please note that the paperclip should be closer to one of the corners. This little detail will be needed in the future to make the toy more real.
After you have finished the front part and secured the paperclip, we will try to make the screen of our toy. To do this, you will need several white A4 sheets, which should be aligned with the rest of the parts - they should be slightly smaller than it. These are the leaves that will be our display.
Once you have prepared several of these sheets, it's time to attach them to the tablet. As you remember, we glued a paper clip for something - now we will need it. Place all the leaves (up to 5 pieces) and attach them by pressing them with a magnet - place it above the paperclip. Thus, we were able to make a tablet out of paper.

How to make your own tablet stand

It happens that you urgently need a tablet stand, but you don’t have time to look for the nearest store of electronic equipment and accessories. Then such an accessory can be made in a matter of minutes from available materials, and for this you do not have to be a craftsman or a sculptor. All it takes is a little patience and ingenuity. And if you are interested in making, for example, a holder case, then you have come to the right place. In any case, see how you can make such a stand yourself.

Simple holders

The easiest and most affordable option would probably be to use cardboard as a manufacturing material. We cut it out according to the diagram, taking into account the features and dimensions of our device. Don't forget about the back part, which should bend well so that the holder does not diverge. You can also make a similar accessory from a regular disposable cardboard cup.

If you have a damaged or unwanted CD that you were about to send to the landfill, then take your time with your actions. It may be useful for its further reincarnation into a tablet stand. We take the disk and make marks on it, adjusting it to the size of our gadget. Very carefully draw the corresponding lines for bending with a marker. Now you need to take care of safety, since you will be working with fire - slightly heat the disk in the places where the lines are located, and then bend it. We repeat the procedure for the remaining parts of the former storage medium, and enjoy our new accessory.
The third in the collection of budget options will be a holder made of straight wire. It needs to be bent with pliers in the appropriate places. For greater stability, connect the wire with a rubber band, and if you paint the wire, it will take on a completely different look.
How could you forget about LEGO constructors? They are ideal for the role of a tablet stand, if you approach the creation process with imagination. A creative person will find a lot of options for producing such a product, and it will be possible to remember a little childhood, succumbing to nostalgia for the past. Combine business with pleasure.
Well, the most budget-friendly and simplest option would be to use a regular book stand. Also suitable as a support for decorative plates or other types of home decor.

Video lesson

Tablets and other gadgets have long and confidently entered our daily lives. They are needed for work, games, communication, entertainment. Even small children quickly mastered the device and can easily play cartoons for themselves.

Needless to say, doll houses should also be equipped with electronics. After all, every girl wants her dolls to be as advanced as real people. And this is a completely understandable desire - progress is being observed everywhere.

What if your child really wants to repeat after adults, but you don’t want him to look at the screen for a long time? Well, the answer is obvious - you need to make a tablet yourself. Of course, it will only be a tablet, since you won’t be able to recreate a touch screen at home.

Let's make a tablet together

Let's look at how to make a tablet out of paper. The diagram will not cause any difficulties, so let's get to work:

Take an A4 sheet of paper.
Using a ruler, draw the frame of the future tablet.
Write the brand of the tablet. It could be Sony, Samsung, Acer, Asus or any other manufacturer.
Draw the camera in the top middle (like a small circle).
Write the model name on the back of the device.
Now, actually, turn on the real tablet and redraw the icons on the desktop.

How to make an iPad Mini 3 out of paper

So, let's start making a paper tablet:

Print an image of the iPad Mini 3 desktop onto white cardstock and cut it out. The picture should have edges that will later need to be folded back.
On the second sheet of cardboard, print the reverse side with the “Apple” logo and the inscription IPad.
Attach one of the cut out pictures to the thick cardboard from under the box and trace the outlines. Using a utility knife, cut out a rectangle of the desired size. Don't forget that this model has rounded edges. You can use scissors, but if the cardboard is very thick, it will be inconvenient.
Glue the front of the tablet onto the cardboard. Next, carefully bend the edges and secure them with “Moment” glue on the back side. Pay special attention to the rounded edges; glue them in such a way that this shape is preserved and does not wrinkle, otherwise the tablet will look broken.
Now take the back side with the Apple logo and stick it on the other side with regular glue. It is advisable to use “Moment” only for bent ends so that they dry quickly.

Try making such a craft with your child - he will probably like the new toy, and for some time real technology will fall out of his sphere of interest. At the very least, this will develop the baby's creative abilities. While working, be close to him, help and give advice, explaining how to make a tablet out of paper.

This homemade tablet stand, reminiscent of a bean bag chair, is very functional and unusual - thanks to this stand, any workplace takes on a festive look.

Materials required for work: - colorful fabric; - blue, light green, red and orange pieces of fabric for the flower; - large button covered with fabric; - cardboard, equal in size to the tablet; - filler; - scissors; - threads; - needle; - sewing machine; - iron; - a small heavy object.

The top of the stand should be about 10 cm, and at the wide bottom the size of the stand is 20 cm. The height of the stand is 13 cm.

We take a rectangle of fabric for the stand (40x70 cm), an orange rectangle with dimensions of 10 by 30 cm, and also 3 colored squares of 10x10 cm.

First of all we make a flower. To do this, bend a long orange rectangle in half, and fold the squares in half twice.

We cut off the outer corner of each square.

Now we need to collect the petals of the future flower using long stitches on one thread. In this case, the hole that remains in the center should be smaller than the diameter of the button.

Place the button in the center of the flower so that it covers the hole and sew it on.

Bend the large rectangle in half and secure the fabric with pins.

We sew the fabric around the perimeter, leaving one of the narrow sides free, and then cut off the corners.

We turn the resulting case inside out and open it like a bag. In this case, the seam should be at the bottom of the cover (see photo).

Make sure the seam is in the middle, and then iron the top corner of the cover to create a diamond shape.

Find the center of the diamond and mark it with a pin.

We bend the top of the diamond to the center that we marked. Here we will sew the flower.

We give the cover a vertical position.

Now we sew on the flower.

Next we need to make the base of the stand. To do this, we place the cardboard in a case and place something heavy on top of the cardboard - thanks to the weighting material, the stand will be more stable. We fill the cover over the cardboard with padding polyester or other filler (you don’t need to fill it very tightly).
