It turns out to make a functional stand for the iPhone do it yourself not only easy but also cheap! After all, all the materials and tools that you need, for sure, will be in your home. You can verify this by reading the instructions below for the manufacture of the stand.
Necessary tools and materials:
- plastic box for DVD;
- skin stripes;
- a tube of glue “Moment”;
- ruler;
- marker;
- scissors;
- stationery knife.
Step 1
Cut the disk box in half. On one half of the box, measure a piece equal in size to the width of the Iphone case.
Step 2
With a stationery knife, cut the necessary piece from the box body according to the markup made.
Step 3
Place the cut piece of plastic over the included gas burner. Under the influence of heat, the plastic will begin to melt - at this time give the plastic the shape of a pipe, bending it along the length of the "snail" (as shown in the photo). Please note that both ends of the “snail” must have bent parts of equal size (they will serve to support the stand).
Step 4
Expand the "snail" and glue one of the bent parts of the plastic base with glue.
Step 5
Glue that curved part of the plastic base, which is treated with glue as shown in the photo. Hold the structure for 10-15 seconds, so that the glue has time to "seize".
Step 6
If the resulting construction has sharp edges, then they should be heat-treated as described in Step 3.
Step 7
Finally, glue the leather strips onto the plastic base as shown in the photo.
Plastic stand for Iphone is ready! By the way, you can also store headphones for your device in it by placing them in the opening of the stand.
