To prevent this from happening, you should get comfortable and ergonomic stands that you can make yourself. A phone stand can be made with your own hands from the most unexpected materials at hand. How to do this, our step by step wizard Class.
How to make a do-it-yourself phone stand: options for office and car
Whether at work or in the car, we all need to always be in touch. At the same time, you don’t want to spend a lot of money on expensive coasters, because they can be made from waste and outdated materials.
Card stand.The simplest option for a phone holder is a card holder. To make it, you need to carefully bend the unnecessary plastic card in two places, as shown in the photo below, preventing it from breaking.
Experience shows that a plastic card holder is very reliable and can withstand even air travel at times of strong turbulence.
Stationery clip stand.To make a phone stand from stationery clips or from binders, as they are also called, you will need one large and one small clip. The legs of the small clamp should be placed between the holding part of the large clamp and put the resulting design on the table so that the clamp bigger size rested on its surface.
Similar coasters can be made in five minutes from clothespins.
From paper clips great option car stands. To make it, you need to disassemble the large clamp and slightly bend the metal parts, as shown in the photo below.
In order not to damage the surface of the phone metal mounts It is recommended to wrap with threads in several layers. We return the holders to their place, additionally fix them with adhesive tape and clerical gum. We fix the clamp on the ventilation shutters. The phone is securely fastened between the metal parts of the binder.
Paper stand.Plain office paper, folded in a certain way, can even support the weight of a large smartphone. To make a stand out of paper, you need to measure the dimensions of the phone and adjust the pattern below for them.
Cut out the piece from paper, fold it along the dotted lines and insert the side pieces into the slots. This design is good because it allows you to charge your phone without removing it from the stand.
We study popular options for coasters for home comfort
A desktop phone stand for the home should not only be comfortable, but also durable, stylish and fit well into the interior of the home. Consider options for such products.
Stand made of newspaper tubes.A phone stand made of newspaper tubes will be a wonderful gift and a great decoration for any interior.
To weave such a stand, you will need several pre-painted long newspaper tubes, scissors, knitting needles, a little glue and varnish.
We place six blanks parallel to each other at a distance of about 1-1.5 cm and firmly fix them in the machine or in any convenient way. We lay knitting needles or wire in the extreme racks to make it more convenient to form even and neat contours of the product. We begin to braid the base with a working tube using the “rope” technique or chintz weaving. We monitor the parallelism of the rows and, if necessary, coat them with glue for better fixation.
Weave a rectangular blank of the required length. We take out the knitting needles or wire. The ends of the stands are neatly trimmed and trimmed. We give the workpiece the necessary curved shape, if necessary, wetting it a little with water.
Similarly, weave the leg of the stand on a smaller number of tubes. We bend the finished leg, install it on the main part and fix its racks between the rows of the stand. Cut off the excess and hide it. We coat the product with glue, if desired, additionally paint and cover with 1-2 layers of varnish. After complete drying, the stand can be used for its intended purpose.
Stand made of origami modules.Modular origami is a fairly young, but very popular type of needlework. With it, you can make a lot of unusual and original gizmos, including a phone stand from modules.
To make the stand, you will need double-sided paper in blue and Pink colour. We cut the sheets into blanks and fold the modules.
We start weaving from the base of the stand. For it, you will need 28 blue modules, which must be connected to each other and closed in a ring. We make three more rows in the same way. From the fifth row, we reduce the number of modules by 1, 2, 3, 4 pieces. In the seventh row we put one pink module in the middle.
In the eighth row we put 6 modules, make a pass, another 10 modules, a pass, 6 modules. The number of pink modules is 2 pieces. In the next row, we put three pink modules on the pink section. We begin to make out the curly edging of the stand, as shown in the photo below.
In the back, we form a pattern in the form of a heart, above which we install a number of modules blue color. Gradually narrow the stand until a triangular wedge forms in its back.
Stand of modules is ready!

Proposed for construction, the car phone stand will be extremely useful for drivers who often use the phone. It will solve problems with finding a phone during a trip. Thanks to the simple and robust design the job won't take long.
Step 1. Tools.
To create a rack you will need:
1. Aluminum tube with a diameter of 47 mm "f. 4";
2. Connecting tubes at 45° and 90° (aluminum or copper). They are cheap and available at any hardware store.
3. Solid wooden sticks(you can take ice cream sticks);
4. Epoxy glue or any other glue with similar qualities;
5. Case or phone case;
6. Cable ties (they will be needed to attach the cover);
7. Hacksaw;
8. Ruler;
9. Knife.
Step 2. Frame assembly.
Before starting work, you should decide on the installation location of the telephone rack. It should not interfere with the use of the audio system, recharging and other daily activities in the car. Only after that you can start measuring.
The aluminum tube must be cut into 3 pieces. The shortest part is attached to the 45° angle tube. The horizontal part (about 5 cm) connects the angled tubes of 90° and 45° "f.2.1 - 2.2". A vertical pipe (approximately 10-13 cm) will hold the rack itself. All pipe connections must be lubricated with glue so that nothing falls off during movement.
Step 3 Attaching the case.
WITH reverse side cover we make 3 pairs of cuts (the depth of the cut should correspond to the tips of the ties). The cuts are parallel to the tube, which will subsequently be attached to the sheath. We thread the screeds into the holes and tighten a little (the main thing is not to overdo it). We tighten the long tube of the frame with ties as shown in the photo. Cut off the ends if they are too long.
Next, you need to cut the wooden sticks in half, insert between the case and the aluminum tube and grease with glue.
It will not be difficult for a home craftsman who has a minimum of tools and a maximum of diligence to make just such a wooden phone stand. As a material, a board 10 mm thick, plywood, is suitable. You can also use thinner plastic. Approximate dimensions shown in the figure. The stand is 10 centimeters high, 8 cm wide (6 cm clean). Installed on two semicircles with a radius of 4 centimeters. Of course, before you get down to business, measure the widest of the phones that will stand in it. A stand is assembled for PVC glue, then decorated at your discretion. For example, in the figure above, the edging is processed by burning.
Well, here I think it’s hardly necessary to explain anything, especially to us - people who are not young. Yes, of course, many have learned, the good old "cassette" from a tape cassette.
Just remove the cassette, turn the cassette holder over, open it to the other side and you get a stand at an angle of about 75 degrees. The width of the "pocket" is about 12 millimeters, the current thin smartphone fits perfectly there.
Here is such a "brutal" stand for the phone from an ordinary aluminum plug. The two extreme teeth are bent at the very base at an angle of 90 degrees. The two middle tendrils are bent at a distance of 15 millimeters from the base, also at an angle of 90 degrees. Your gadget is inserted between them. The fork handle plays the role of a support.
This coaster requires six clothespins and one pencil. The pencil is preferably hexagonal, on a round clothespins will slide. I think it’s clear from the photo - four clothespins are legs, two on the top actually hold the gadget, a phone is inserted between their petals. The width adjustment is very large - the length of the pencil. By the way, even if you hook a couple of clothespins on the edge of any vertical surface (let's say the wall of the box), they will successfully cope without four other clothespins and a pencil!
This stand is very simple, but also suitable for small phones. It's a plain old bank or discount a plastic card. It should be divided across into three equal parts with a pencil and bent along the lines. But I would make the lower "heel" on which the phone will stand only a centimeter, and divide the remaining distance into the "shoulder" of the prop and support itself.
Have you purchased a modern gadget and now want to make a stand? There are many techniques and methods that you can use to make a phone stand. Stylish little things can not only decorate the interior, but also make using the phone comfortable. In this article, we'll show you how to do it.
The easiest way to make a stand out of cardboard. To do this, cut a sheet of cardboard into several sheets of the same size. Suitable multilayer cardboard with corrugation inside. Glue the sheets with PVA glue. Let the glue dry. Draw a detail drawing on a thick cardboard base. This will be the figured leg for the stand. Using a utility knife, carefully cut the leg along the marks. Cut out another such piece. Cut out a circle from the remnants of a thick base, it will serve as an additional support. Cut a rectangle on the side of the leg. It will be the basis for the holder. Make a rectangle equal to the rectangular hole. Insert the part into the holes. Thus, you will connect the two legs together. Make axes for a circle from wooden rods. Make two holes in the legs and insert the axles there. Before that, put a circle on the rods. Before assembling the stand, it can be painted or pasted over with newspapers.
Mobile communication devices are in every home, they have become almost indispensable for modern man and perform many functions. Therefore, quite often they need to be kept not in your pocket, but on your desktop, so a smartphone stand is a necessary thing for everyone.

Most easy way how to make a do-it-yourself phone stand out of wood - it's just to make it from an ordinary plank. The design of such a product is as simple as possible - a groove of the required width is made in the board and the stand is ready. Since the board has a large plane, and after you put the mobile into the slot, it will stand firmly and securely on the table.
The most important thing about this wooden phone stand is the area of the base that will be in contact with the table, it must be large enough to handle the functional load. As a basis, such homemade stand for the phone can have any wood and can be given any shape. And the manufacturing process itself is limited to the fact that a groove is simply made in the plank with the help of a milling cutter. The groove can be made flat or sloped, depending on the angle at which the device should stand.
When you make a stand for a smartphone with your own hands, it is important to sand it well, especially in the groove area where the mobile will stand. After all, if there are irregularities, then you can scratch the glass, and this will ruin appearance your gadget.
Complex design
If you want your mobile device to be always in sight, not lost in documents, and at the same time your table looks beautiful, solid, then the stand should be appropriate. To do this, you can make it not just from a plank, but from several parts. Don't worry, it doesn't require a lot of tools or material either. The most important thing is not to rush and carefully consider the design that your homemade product will have.
A good do-it-yourself smartphone stand, which is suitable not only for any phone, but also for a tablet, and at the same time will be as stable as possible, can be made from two small boards.
The design of such a stand is as simple as possible, two identical rectangular wooden blanks are taken. On the one hand, about a quarter from the edge, a slot is made to the middle of the board. It is important that the slot does not run at a right angle, but obliquely, so that the stand is more stable and has the correct slope of the plane that will support the phone. On both blanks, a slot is made up to half the width of the blank.
For someone who is just starting out, it can be difficult to find correct angle for the cut. But this is not difficult to do, just attach two parts to one another at the planned angle and just make marks on the side of the end. Well, in addition, so that the phone does not slip, you need to make a groove on a horizontal plank, or stick a small bar that will be a stopper.
After all the cuts are ready, it is enough just to sand the stand well so that the bumps do not scratch the phone case, and cover it with tinting or just varnish.
There are many ways to make a stand for a phone of this design, for example, you can make a curly vertical part of the stand, which will greatly improve its appearance. Forms can be a variety of hand, leaf, animals, and in general everything that you think of, since a tree can be given almost any shape.
How to choose a stand design
There are quite a few ways to make a smartphone stand, but wood options are not only durable, but also beautiful view. In addition, they look much nobler than other materials, as a properly selected wooden accessory will decorate any design, regardless of its style.
Therefore, in order for your stand to mobile phone handmade was beautiful and original, try to choose the right design, size and color. Of course, you should not forget about such parameters as functionality and stability, since if a cell phone falls, it can simply be damaged.
You can make a variety of phone accessories at home and you don’t need a special tool for this. In most cases, with due diligence and patience, you can get by with a simple hacksaw, chisel, sandpaper and a piece of plywood. Then just glue your sample from small parts and at home it will also be easy.
Do not be afraid to experiment and fantasize so that the stand you made is unique, and not like everyone else. After all, mass production is arranged in such a way that anyone can afford to buy beautiful and seemingly diverse things. But truly bright individuals prefer unique things in a single copy. Such things are not sold in stores, they can only be ordered or made independently. The second option is much better, not only in terms of economy, but also in terms of the manifestation of individuality.
Even if you do not have experience in making any wood crafts, do not be upset, as there is nothing difficult in this. It is enough to carefully plan everything, calculate what tools and materials will be needed, and only after that proceed to the work itself. If something doesn’t work out for you, then you can try again, rarely does anyone manage to do everything right the first time, everyone learns and everyone makes mistakes. But this is the only way to gain experience and learn to do things right.
