Many people buy smartphones. These are convenient gadgets that allow you to watch videos and read books directly from your phone, and talk on Skype. All this is convenient to do at the table. Just need a stand to keep the phone in an inclined position. Then the hands remain free, and it is more convenient to look at the screen. You can buy a ready-made plastic or metal stand with a suction cup, or you can make a stand for your phone with your own hands. A little material will go, this is not a costly business, and it will take almost no time. But the product will be unique, it can be painted in any color, make a drawing or carving on a wooden stand. Consider several different options for do-it-yourself phone stands.
Cat
For such a cute coaster that you can give to your girlfriend, you will need: a jigsaw, a chisel, PVA or D3 glue (based on PVA), sandpaper with grit No. 80 and No. 120, acrylic paint, acrylic varnish, and of course, a piece of wooden board and planer. First, a blank of the desired thickness is sawn off and a circle and a cat are drawn with a simple pencil. Then, using a jigsaw, cut out the desired shapes. In a circle, a strip is cut out or cut out with a chisel forphone number.
The do-it-yourself phone stand blank must be carefully processed with sandpaper. First, we take a coarser grit - No. 80, then we open it with red paint. It is better to take acrylic paint, as it has no smell. You can carry out the whole process at home. Then, after the paint has completely dried, the surface is again treated with sandpaper, but with a finer grit - No. 120. Then you need to cover the product with another layer of paint. After drying, a layer of acrylic varnish is also applied. This is a must when choosing acrylic paint. No other polish will work.
After it is completely dry, the do-it-yourself phone stand is assembled together. The cat is glued to the stand using thick PVA glue or an analogue of D3, but also based on PVA. It is stronger than PVA and you won't have to worry about the phone. The stand will support any weight. You can also cut out any character instead of a cat, for a child - a favorite cartoon character, and for yourself - a little man.
Simple wooden stand
Such a simple stand can only be made if you own a manual router. Then a thin strip (slightly larger than the thickness of your smartphone) and a compartment for small items are cut out of a simple workpiece of the required thickness. In the recess, you can put a recharge for your phone or keep your headphones so that they do not get lost.
It remains only to walkseveral times with sandpaper and acrylic varnish. We will not repeat the sequence of actions, since everything is described in detail in the first subheading.
Travel option
This do-it-yourself phone stand is hung on the keys and is constantly in the access zone. It can be used at work and on the go. This small wooden "stick" does not take up any space in your pocket, but it does its job of supporting the tilted position to the fullest.
It is better to make it from hardwood - beech, oak, ash, hornbeam, walnut, etc. This is necessary so that a piece does not break off when pressing the keys in your pocket. The length of the product is 6-7 cm, the width is 3 cm. Stepping back a little from the edge, they cut out a small square cut with a jigsaw. Then, a hole for the ring is drilled from the opposite side, on which the keys are hung.
Then, according to the well-known scheme, everything is processed with sandpaper and opened with varnish. You can also pre-treat the wood with stain, giving the wood the desired shade.
Temporary cardboard option
While you are thinking about how to make a DIY phone stand out of wood, we can offer a temporary option from cardboard. Look carefully at the photo, how to cut out the necessary part from a simple rectangle of corrugated cardboard, folded in half.
But this option can be used temporarily, as it does not lookvery beautiful. As you can see, it is not difficult to make an original and spectacular stand, the main thing is the desire and the availability of the necessary tools.
