2. Toilet Paper Roll Phone Stand

You can make a simple phone stand from just a few things in just a few minutes. The basis is a roll of toilet paper or a roll of kitchen towels (which is usually stronger). Then all you need are scissors and something to decorate to make the stand look nice.

For a DIY Stand You Need:

• toilet paper roll or paper towel roll,
• scissors or knife,
• marker or pencil,
• decorative tapes or colorful/decorative papers and glue.

Step-By-Step Guide

1. First, decorate the roll – use decorative papers, decorative tape or paints.

2. Cut out the right shape: Draw the future shape on the decorated roll and cut it out. 

💡TIP: You should carefully press the roll flat if you are going to use scissors.

3. Cut about half of the roll in the first third of the height. This will be the front side, where you will then look at the phone display.

4. The other half of the roll forms the “back” on which the phone will lean against. It is better to cut the back to the tip. This will make your DIY stand more stable.

5. Cut a small wide notch between these halves, so that your phone fits comfortably. Thanks to that, the phone will hold properly on the stand.
