DIY Cell Phone Stand Life Hack

Hi there, how are you today? I hope you are well. J

      So today’s post is a Life Hack. I will be showing you how I made a mobile phone stand using an old cassette tape case.

  

      So I was lying in bed last night playing games on my phone and my hand started to cramp up and I really wanted to put my phone down but if I did that then it was too far down and I would have to sit up to see my phone. I know right lazy, hahaha.

     Everything I used in this tutorial I found around home. Nothing special was brought. So here is my version of this life hack.

       The materials I used were:

• ·         An old cassette tape case
• ·         Paper or cardstock with a pattern I like
• ·         Embellishments – just to pretty it up a little more
• ·         Scissors or craft knife
• ·         Something to cut on
• ·         And a ruler

STEP 1

I removed the tape and cover from the case and                 cleaned it up.

STEP 2

I got my choice of paper and the cassette insert and measured to get the same size. This is the bit that your phone will sit on.



  

I then cut this with my craft knife.

STEP 3

Line up the paper that you chose with the insert of the cassette. Fold where the folds are on the insert so that when you place your paper into the cassette it will fit just like it was meant to be in there.

I decided that I wanted a piece of my patterned paper at the front so it wasn’t white so I measured a piece that size and stuck it down with a glue stick. 

                             

                       I then embellished with washi tape and diamantes.

There we have it, a great little cell phone stand that you can use with your phone vertical and horizontal, great for watching movies.

All up this DIY project took me about 10 mins.
