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 the signal smoothly. 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 that could be placed in a 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 adhesive.
* 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 you simply don’t have the patience to hold the parts being glued with your hands for a long time. 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.

How to make a phone stand with your own hands from cardboard or paper?
The most popular material for creating a phone stand is paper or cardboard, which anyone can easily find. Of course, it is best to use high-quality and thick cardboard so that the stand is reliable and strong. However, the strength of the stand also depends on the weight of the phone: the lighter it is, the easier it is to hold it.
Stand options:
- From the sleeve. The core is the cardboard base of the roll onto which toilet paper or paper kitchen towels are rolled layer by layer. For the stand, you will need a third of a towel roll or one small toilet paper roll. Also stock up on push pins. Make a horizontal slot in the sleeve on one side so that the phone can fit into it. The legs of the stand should be made of buttons.
- From cardboard. Any thick cardboard (packaging, for example) will be useful. A long, wide strip of cardboard should be folded into a triangle and secured on one side by making a slot. You can fix the cardboard with glue or pushpins. The stronger the cardboard, the greater the weight of the smartphone it will support. The width of the cardboard strip should be slightly larger than the width of the phone.
- Origami stand. This is a simple paper device, of course, disposable. However, it can help you out in the most inconvenient situations. With instructions and paper folding instructions, you can easily make a stand in just a few minutes.

With a phone holder, you won't have to spend a lot of time looking for your mobile device. It will also be reliably protected. There is less chance that someone will drop it, step on it or spill tea, and most importantly, while driving a car, you will not be distracted. For aesthetic reasons, it can be an excellent decor for a car interior.
The simplest holder is a design for the steering wheel with silicone loops. The adjustable bracket on the panel into which the gadget is inserted is distinguished by the fact that it is compact and the phone can be easily installed. Another very simple holder is a ball on a magnet.
Designer coasters are made from various materials, have different shapes– it all depends on the creativity of the master. For example, there is a lawn on a plastic stand and a phone holder at the bottom.
The gadget holder can be made as an elegant wooden stand. For example, in the form of a tree with a hollow or improvised stumps. A neat wooden stand with randomly placed slots where a mobile phone can be inserted will look original.
Wooden stand can be very laconic and resemble a photo frame into which a smartphone is inserted. A wooden organizer on a panel can have not only a cell for a gadget, but also for pens and watches. A wooden stand in the form of a figurine supporting a phone looks original, but it needs to be firmly secured.
Sometimes phone holders make a nice souvenir when you don't have a gadget. For example, a gadget stand in the form of a rotary telephone looks original, showing the connection between times. Or look unexpectedly creative when the holder is an alarm clock into which a mobile phone is inserted.
Conceptually, the holder looks like a marble figurine holding a gadget in its hands. Even in winter, a shell stand will bring back memories of the sea.

How to make it yourself
From the paper clip
You can make a device that supports your phone yourself. This stand will definitely be exclusive.
Homemade holders can be of three types:
- spoiling the interior;
- not durable;
- representing a whole work of art that requires real skill.
We take the binder, remove the staples, bend them so that a holder is formed, wrap them with thread and place them in their original place, securing them with an ordinary rubber band. All that remains is to attach a simple device to the air duct. The phone is attached securely. The only negative is that the phone cannot be quickly removed from the holder.
From wire
In order to attach a phone to a wire holder, you will have to sacrifice the integrity of the front panel of the cabin, since holes will need to be drilled on it. The holder is made from strong wire, bending it accordingly and inserting it into the holes. The phone must be firmly attached to the holder.
Aluminum stand
It takes a little effort to make a stand out of aluminum. In any hardware store You can inexpensively purchase connecting tubes with angles of 45 and 90 degrees, as well as an aluminum pipe with a diameter of 47 mm. You will also need ice cream sticks and an old phone case.
You can start creating the holder after you have determined the place where it will be located. Now they are being made necessary measurements. The pipe is cut into three parts. The short part is attached to a 45 degree angle tube. The horizontal part is held in 45 and 90 degree angle tubes. The longest part is vertical pipe, 10 - 13 cm long, will hold a stand.
For greater strength, all fasteners are first lubricated with glue. A couple of cuts should be made in the case into which the ties are inserted. The cuts are on the tube. A long pipe is tied together with ties. Between aluminum pipe and glue the wooden sticks with the cover. The final stage is attaching the connecting tube to the car.

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:
- Denim (stripes of different colors).
- A piece of bright fabric for a scarf.
- A little padding polyester or cotton wool for the paws, tail and head.
- A glass of cotton swabs.
- Cardboard for the bottom.
- 4 buttons.
- Pencil, scissors, needle.
Let's get started:
Take a piece of paper and draw a pattern by hand. It's quite 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.”
Turn the top allowance inside out outside stands. 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 trouser legs work well for tops and bottoms. Lay out the strips and fasten 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.
