Video Tutorial

Equipment

  • Scissors or cutter
  • Ruler (optional)

Materials 

  • Marker
  • Toilet paper roll
  • Washi tape
  • Double-sided tape or glue

Instructions 

  • Grab your supplies to get started.
  • Trace an outline of the base of your phone on the toilet paper roll. This will be the slot where you will insert your phone.
  • Using a craft cutter, carefully cut the cardboard roll and clear away the edges, too.
  • Wrap the toilet paper roll with washi tape.
  • To cover the cardboard that is visible around the rims, wrap a strip of washi tape around it with the ends sticking out.
  • Use your pair of scissors to cut flaps around the washi tape and carefully press them inward to cover the cardboard.
  • Next, you’ll need to cut the washi tape that’s covering your phone slot. Just place an incision down the center of the gap and two v-like cuts at either end. This method of cutting the tape will ensure smooth and pretty edges.
  • To make the legs, divide a sheet of paper into 6 equal strips and fold them inward, pressing each fold firmly to crease the paper. Unfold the paper.
  • Now, form a 3D triangle by folding the creased strip of paper until you have a three-walled triangular leg. Stick the ends closed with double-sided tape.
  • Alternatively, you can use 4 push pins instead to act as the legs for your phone holder.
  • Once you’re happy with the stability of the legs, your phone holder is ready to go!
