We take a few gears that are so small.
We also take epoxy and hardener.
We take plasticine and apply a thin layer to one side of the internal cavity of the figure and seal it with polyethylene on the same side.
Mix the epoxy glue according to the instructions and pour approximately 2 mm into the cavity of the figure. This will be the first layer. We are waiting for the solidification of this layer. Then lay out our pattern of gears and fill in the rest.
Our dog has dried up.
We remove the plasticine. We take sandpaper and bring everything into a divine form.
We mark with a pencil on the figure the point where the hole will be.
Drill make a small indentation.
Now we make a wooden chop that will fix it all. We insert the chopik into the stand, spread it with PVA glue and also the lower part of the figure with a thin layer so that the glue does not protrude. Let's connect. Leave until completely dry. Next, we rub our entire product with herbalist impregnation.

And on the road, at home, and on the desktop, a useful gadget is given the main place, otherwise “what if someone calls, but I don’t hear/see.” For convenient placement of a cell phone on the table, coasters were invented. You can buy them in the store, or you can make them yourself from scrap materials. Even the most useless at first glance “unnecessary garbage”, like cardboard packaging for dairy products or a long-used CD cover, can be useful in your work.
Cardboard stand
The first option is to make a mobile stand out of cardboard. This does not have to be a solid piece of material; you can take a used small-volume milk carton (0.5 ml). There is no need to glue anything: you only need scissors.
The box must be thoroughly washed, crumpled and the bottom cut off. Then cut it along the folds.
The work will require a central part in the shape of two rectangles. There is a fold between them. It needs to be cut out and folded with the outer side inward, pressing the fold with one hand.
Starting from the opposite end, from the bottom, you need to cut out a shape that resembles the letter “T”. It is narrowed at the top, but has a beveled corner.
When the figure is unfolded, the bottom edges become where the phone sits. It rests on the central edge. The budget stand is ready!
CD cover stand
Surely everyone has a couple of DVDs lying around their house. One of the unnecessary covers can be turned into a stand for your mobile phone.
To do this, the cover must be cut in half. Then cut off all the holes and rivets so that only a smooth rectangle with two curved corners at the ends remains.
The plate must be clamped with tweezers or pliers and placed in boiling water. This will make the plastic soft and pliable.
Holding the plate with pliers or any other tool, it must be bent so that one of the corner ends does not reach the other slightly. 2-3 cm is enough; the phone will be located in this space. One of the corners is glued to the surface. The result is an interesting and light stand. The device can be placed on it both vertically and horizontally!
Paper clip stand
Mobile phone stand made from paper clips – interesting thing, which can be done in 2 minutes. To do this, you need a large, massive paper clip, which you just need to straighten correctly!
To begin, the wire is completely straightened into a line. Then you need to pinch it and bend it again:
- Bend in the shape of a tick - U.
- Bend both ends at an angle of 90 ° C, starting approximately in the middle.
- Bend the ends of each end slightly.
Thus, an ordinary paper clip turned into a laconic stand. The phone lies horizontally on it.
Stand made from toilet paper roll
As good as a sleeve from a used roll toilet paper, enough in every home! Don’t rush to throw away the cardboard form – it can be turned into a mobile phone stand in a matter of minutes.
All that is required is to correctly cut part of the sleeve at an angle. A small piece of cardboard should remain in front to create an emphasis. Such a stand will not be able to accommodate a phone that is too tall, but standard size“fits” perfectly.
If desired, the stand can be decorated: painted, wrapped in fabric or covered with paper for gifts. And no one will believe that it was once part of a toilet roll.
