For the home handyman If you have a minimum of tools and a maximum of diligence, it will not be difficult to make such a wooden phone stand. The material used is a 10 mm thick board or plywood. You can also use thinner plastic. Approximate dimensions are shown in the figure. The stand is 10 centimeters high, 8 cm wide (6 cm when clear). It is mounted 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 be placed in it. The stand is assembled using PVC glue and then decorated at your discretion. For example, in the picture above, the edging is processed by burning.
Well, here I think there’s hardly any need to explain, especially to us, not young people. Yes, many of course recognized the good old “podcassette player” from a tape audio cassette.
Simply remove the cassette, turn the cassette case over, open it in the other direction and you get a stand at an angle of about 75 degrees. The width of the “pocket” is approximately 12 millimeters; the current thin smartphone fits there perfectly.
Here’s a “brutal” phone stand made from an ordinary aluminum fork. The two outermost teeth are bent at the very base at an angle of 90 degrees. The two middle antennae are bent at a distance of 15 millimeters from the base, also at an angle of 90 degrees. Your gadget is placed between them. The fork handle acts as a support.
This stand requires six clothespins and one pencil. The pencil should preferably be hexagonal; on a round one, the clothespins will slide. I think it’s clear from the photo - the four clothespins are the legs, the two on the top actually hold the gadget, and the phone is inserted between their petals. The width adjustment is quite large - the length of a pencil. By the way, even if you hook a couple of clothespins onto the edge of any vertical surface (let’s say the wall of a 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 regular old bank or discount card. a plastic card. It should be divided crosswise 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 just a centimeter, and divide the remaining distance into the “arm” of the support itself and the support.
Today it is impossible to imagine modern man without a mobile phone, because this is not only a necessary thing, but a stylish accessory. But a mobile phone has one significant drawback - it often gets lost. In order to no longer face the problem of tedious searching, you need to define some kind of permanent place- for example, a stand. You can buy it at the store or make it yourself.
How to make a simple phone stand?
If you decide to create a stand yourself, you should first prepare everything necessary materials- a beautiful fabric, PVA glue, scissors, a marker, a stationery knife, a plastic container that should have flat shape(you can use a jar from any cosmetic product).
First you need to go through all the empty bottles and jars in the house - choose the one that is the right size for your phone, and wash it thoroughly using hot water. Now you need to dry it well to remove all moisture, otherwise your stand will not last long.
We take the phone and apply it to the container, while placing their lower planes at the same level. Using a marker, we leave a mark on the bottle - we select the height of the future stand, which will be as comfortable as possible for you. On the front of the bottle we make horizontal line and continue it on the side parts.
We turn the bottle and draw its holder on the back. Let's do it with enough big hole, which will fully correspond to the size and shape of the “plug” - it should fit into it quite easily when charging the phone.
With help stationery knife or use scissors to cut out the stand along the already outlined contour. Take sandpaper (fine) and carefully sand all the edges until they are perfectly smooth. You need to sand over the entire rest of the surface of the future stand, as it should acquire a slight roughness in order to better bond with the glue.
Next, take a piece of bright fabric (here you can use any material). The main thing is to take a piece so that it is completely enough to wrap the entire stand. Place the material face down.
We lubricate the front wall of the future stand with a fairly thick layer of PVA and press it as tightly as possible against the fabric in those places that we determined earlier. Now we coat all the sides of the stand with glue, do not forget about the back part, which also needs to be processed. Pull the fabric tightly so that there are no air bubbles or folds. We wrap the fabric in the same way in the bottom area - we must try to secure it well in the shape of the bottle.
As soon as the material is evenly distributed over the surface of the bottle, and you have secured it with glue on all sides of the product, with the exception of the bottom, take scissors and carefully cut off all excess as close to the edges as possible. Next, apply another layer of glue.
According to the shape of the bottom of the bottle, I cut out a separate piece of material and glue it to the bottom to neatly close all the cuts. Cover the bottom with an additional layer of glue.
At the end, you need to dry the stand thoroughly - you need to place it in such a way that the product does not come into contact with anything. We hang the stand on some kind of hook, spoon, pencil, pen, or place it in a glass.
Once the product is completely dry, use a utility knife to carefully cut a hole in the holder. You need to check whether you have secured the material to the cuts well. All protruding edges must be carefully glued.
Phone stand: car model
This stand option is ideal for phones with a wide display and a long body. You can make such a model yourself; moreover, it is very easy to use and is perfect for use in a car. And to create it you will only have to spend a couple of minutes.
So, you will need to take a binder (this is a clamp that is used to fasten sheets of paper together). You also need to choose a suction cup, which will become a fastening device. In the place where the suction cup has a hook, we attach a binder to it and our phone stand is ready. You can easily attach it in any convenient place.
Attach a suction cup to the back cover of the phone (don’t worry, it won’t damage its surface, and there won’t be any unsightly marks left). You can easily position the device not only vertically, but also horizontally.
Modular origami: phone stand
You can make a phone stand using the modular origami technique. First you need to collect 24 white and 23 pink modules. The colors of the blanks can be chosen to suit your taste!
We fasten the white modules together in a circle so that a circle is formed, and between each pair of white ones, you need to insert 1 pink module. As a result, you will get a cone that gradually tapers towards the top.
This design must be continued until the stand reaches the desired height, which must be determined taking into account the size of the phone. The device will be located in the central part.

Homemade stand for a smartphone made of mahogany.
Hi all! Today we will make one for a mobile phone in the shape of a dog - the symbol of the year.
Now you need to make a stand for it. To do this, we cut out a circle with a diameter of 70 mm from wood. Let's polish it sandpaper.
We take several small gears like this.
We also take epoxy and hardener.
Take plasticine and apply thin layer on 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 this layer to harden. Then we’ll lay out our pattern of gears and fill in the rest.
Our dog has dried up.
We remove the plasticine. We take some sandpaper and bring everything back to perfection.
Mark with a pencil the point on the figure where the hole will be.
Use a drill to make a small indentation.
Now we are making a wooden chopstick 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 the herbalist’s impregnation.
This is what we got.
