What is a phone stand for?

Basically, a phone stand is used for reasons of convenience and safety and is relevant in the following situations:

When searching for a phone. Most modern smartphones are small in size, and therefore can easily get lost in an apartment or even on a desktop. In this case, the stand allows you to constantly keep the device in sight.
When driving a car. The stand allows you to answer calls and view directions without being distracted from driving, which ensures safe driving.
In communication shops. Stands of this type allow you to position phones so that the buyer has the opportunity to view them from all sides. They effectively optimize the workspace, allowing you to accommodate many models.
To watch the video. Smartphones are often used as media centers for watching videos, and it’s more convenient to do this when you don’t have to hold the phone in your hands. The stand maintains the optimal position of the screen, allowing the owner to sit comfortably.

Step-by-step description of different stands

Making a cardboard stand yourself is not difficult. If the material is not very dense, several sheets are glued together. Micro-corrugated cardboard is most suitable for such an accessory.

Corrugated cardboard is a packaging material consisting of glued layers of paper.

A special stationery knife is most convenient for cutting from cardboard. With such a tool, the workpiece is cut more accurately and much easier. Let's look at how this is done in each specific case.

For pencils

Such a stand is a useful and necessary item for a desk so that office supplies do not get lost or scattered around the table.

You can create an individual pencil holder to suit your taste in an exclusive version with your own hands.

"Penguin"

A small cardboard box is required (volumes and sizes are determined at will): you can take a suitable one for juice (it is washed and dried). Cardboard cylinders will also work.

Next, the package is covered with paper of the appropriate size (black color - this will be the penguin’s body).

Pencil holders are a necessary and useful item for a writing interior.

Then templates are cut out of paper:

breast - white;
wings - black;
paws - yellow.

The eyes are also made from black paper and the beak from yellow paper.

All elements are sequentially glued to the appropriate places. The penguin pencil is ready.

Such beautiful products will decorate any surface and will keep your writing instruments in order.

From paper tubes

First they need to be prepared. For this purpose, newspaper or magazine sheets are taken. Using a regular knitting needle, twist the tubes. There should be a lot of them. Then the ends are secured with glue.

Next, the tubes are painted in the intended color and left to dry. The juice packaging is cut to the required height. The tubes are cut to the height of the future stand and glued along the perimeter of the blank box.

The stand for pens and pencils, which is shown in the photo, can be made in just a couple of hours.

Important! It is necessary to glue tightly, without gaps.

Allow the product to dry and then it is ready for use.

Pencil with flowers

A pencil stand can be made with flower decoration. To do this, you can take napkins (color - optional).

The napkin is folded in half twice. It is fastened in the center with a stapler. Using scissors, make the edges of the napkin wavy. Each layer must be lifted upward, while at the base you need to press a little.

A pencil stand will allow you to always keep writing objects at hand, rather than looking for them in the corners of bottomless desk drawers.

You can make several multi-colored flowers and decorate a ready-made paper pencil holder with them. Flowers are “planted” on glue, or secured on the bottom with tape.

For phone

It is not difficult to build such a stand. Such work will not take much time. This is a practical and easy option to make the device yourself. And, besides, do it - at any time.

The following is a step-by-step guide to the most interesting ideas.

Shell

No special instructions are needed in this case. The main thing is to get a suitable, large enough shell.

To work, you need glue, which, when hardened, turns into a plastic tight mass - the so-called. rubber or liquid nails. There's no such thing? Then acrylic plasticine is used, which does not stain anything.

A layer of glue is applied to the area where the phone will come into contact with the shell surface. If the “workpiece” is not stable, glue is also applied to the lower part for a stronger fixation.

The main thing is to find a suitable shell from which you will make a phone stand.
