Looking for a reliable smartphone stand? Skip the expensive store-bought options. As a DIY expert with years of upcycling projects under my belt, I've found a simple, proven hack using a recycled toilet paper roll. It's sturdy, practical, and costs nothing.
1. Save that empty toilet paper tube instead of tossing it.
2. Grab four thumbtacks.
3. Insert the thumbtacks into the tube to provide stability.
4. Use a cutter to create a notch opposite the thumbtacks, sized to fit your smartphone snugly.
5. Slide your phone into the notch.
You now have a custom smartphone holder for free! It's quick to assemble, eco-friendly, and perfect for hands-free viewing on any table. I've tested it with multiple devices, and it holds steady every time.
