You can make a small phone stand with your own hands from the most simple materials. Our small master class will help you in your work. Handmade things bring warmth and comfort to your home.
This funny cat phone stand is easy to make in one evening. To do this, we will need fabric from old jeans to trim the cup, denim or any other fabric for the head, legs and tail.
To work you will need:
- Denim (stripes of different colors).
- A piece of bright fabric for a scarf.
- A little padding polyester or cotton wool for the paws, tail and head.
- A glass of cotton swabs.
- Cardboard for the bottom.
- 4 buttons.
- Pencil, scissors, needle.
Let's get started:
Take a piece of paper and draw a pattern by hand. It's quite simple, even if you don't know how to draw. You can do the head like this: circle the bottom of your glass from under the cotton swabs and step back a little from the edge. You will get the head of a cat. Cut out the pattern from paper. We will cut according to it:
- Head (with ears) – 2 parts,
- paw-hand – 4 parts,
- paw-leg – 4 parts,
- tail – 2 parts.
We select materials:
This is the box you need to take for work, it’s just the perfect size:
Next, we will make the bottoms for our stand. In this chopstick cup, the bottom diameter is 8 cm. Yours may be different. For the outer bottom, cut out a larger circle of cardboard, and for the inner one, 0.5 cm smaller than the bottom of the stick glass. We cut out a circle with a diameter of 7.5 cm from denim fabric. We sew it along the edge with thread, insert cardboard and tighten the thread. The second circle is 1.5 cm larger, cut out of denim.
For the inside of the stand, take a suitable fabric measuring 12 cm (height of the glass + allowances on each side of 2 cm) * 27 cm (circumference length + allowances of 1 cm). Sew the fabric along the short side. We trim the allowances at the bottom of the resulting lining in several places. We put the inner lining into the cup, distribute the notched allowances so that there are no large folds. You can drop a little glue so that the lining does not “walk.”
Turn the top allowance inside out outside stands. We also secure it by dripping glue in a circle. If glue is not available, use tape. Then we need to design the cat's belly. Scraps from trouser legs work well for tops and bottoms. Lay out the strips and fasten them with pins.
Sew all the pieces along the short side. We put everything we sewed on our stand. On top of the cup we sew the lining and the top of the product with a hidden seam. Then we sew on the large bottom. Make sure it does not protrude beyond the diameter of the glass. If the bottom is large, trim off the excess cardboard.
Place the cat pattern on the fabric from which you decided to sew it. Cut out the pattern from paper and pin it to the fabric. Cut it out, adding a seam allowance of 0.5 cm.
Embroider the cat's face the way you like. You can sew beads or buttons instead of eyes.
We sew the paws, tail and head, leaving small gaps in the seams for stuffing with padding polyester. We turn out the details of the head, paws, and tail. We stuff the blanks with padding polyester or cotton wool.
Sew the paws, head and tail to the stand. The paws are sewn on at the top and secured with buttons.
We sew pieces of denim material onto the tail.
We tie a bright bow around our cat’s neck, and you can put a sewn mouse or fish in his paws. If you want to give a product, a souvenir, for example, smoking pipe.
Our short master class will tell you how to make a cute and original paper phone stand. The stand can be made from a base: a cardboard ring left over from scotch tape, an empty round box of chips, salt, coffee, or a cup of cotton swabs.
Having cute, cozy touches in your home helps create a warm atmosphere. Making something interesting and useful at the same time is not so difficult. Today, almost everyone has a mobile phone. When we return home, we most often put it on the table. It happens that we don’t notice and throw papers or other things on top, and sometimes we even lose them on the desktop.

- Take a utility knife and cut a hole in the shape of a rectangle.
- Next, you need to make the base for the phone stand with your own hands. We measure the width of the phone and cut out a stand to fit the size of the third piece. The width of the phone is the length of our rectangle. The width of the rectangle should be such that it can fit into the grooves on the sides.
- We assemble the structure. You will also need small circle made of cardboard, its diameter is slightly less than the distance between the sidewalls. (photo 8)
- All blanks must be covered with paper. This could be a newspaper clipping or scrapbooking paper.

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 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.

We use pencils
Try making a phone stand out of pencils.
Materials needed: 6 pencils and four erasers. We assemble a three-dimensional triangle: a tetrahedron. We fasten the ends of two pencils together and insert the third between them.
Important! To build a structure, you need to take pencils with rubber bands at the ends to avoid unnecessary slipping.
Bottle models
To make a model from bottles, prepare the material: any bottle of cleaning product, dishwashing detergent or shampoo, scissors.
Bottom line: the work should resemble a pocket.
Important! The size of the bottle should be at least twice the length of the phone.
Cut off the neck of the bottle and the front wall to the middle. This stand will be useful for use while charging. To do this, make a hole in the upper back part of the container for charger. Fold the phone inward, and insert the charger first into the hole, then into the socket.
This model can be painted or decorated with paper or fabric.
Paper clips
The option with a paper clip will require minimal cost and time.
The paper clip must be straightened into a straight line. We bend both edges of the paper clip upward, retreating 1 cm. Then we retreat 4 cm on both sides, this part of the structure should fit snugly to the table, like a support. The next step is to bend the paperclip in the middle upwards so that the previous bent parts remain straight, perpendicular to the table.
From a credit card
Place the resulting zigzag on the table, the work is ready.

It is necessary to attach several bricks from the designer to the plate to support the back panel of the phone; the angle at which it will be fixed will depend on the height of the wall. To fix the device on the sides, take a few more identical bricks and secure them to the base.
From the cassette case
We insert the mobile device into the pocket where the cassette was once stored.
If you have an old cassette box at home, it’s very easy to create a holding structure: open it as far back as possible so that the part with the cassette pocket remains in front, and the top cover of the cassette box is placed on the table.

We begin to braid the base with a working tube using the rope technique or calico weaving. We monitor the parallelism of the rows and, if necessary, coat them with glue for better fixation.
We weave a rectangular piece of the required length. We take out the knitting needles or wire. The ends of the stands are carefully tucked in and trimmed. We give the workpiece the required curved shape, if necessary, wetting it a little with water.
Similarly, we weave the leg of the stand using fewer tubes. We bend the finished leg, install it on the main part and secure its posts between the rows of the stand.
