It’s one of the most flexible phone stand designs you’ll ever try since there’s an infinite array of designs you can come up with to tickle your fancy. You can even turn it into a multifunctional phone stand by adding nooks for your keys and watch. While at it, you can consider creating a unique phone DIY charging station.

2. DIY Phone Stand Made From Spoons and Forks

This is a perfect yet straightforward phone stand to make for a chef or culinary-loving friend. Grab three spoons and two forks, attach and bend them as shown in the video above, and you’ll have a unique, mini-spoon-man phone stand.

3. Phone Stand Made of Card

Turn an expired credit card into a DIY phone stand in three simple steps. Cut away a corner, create a notch wide enough to accommodate your phone on the corresponding edge, and boom! A DIY phone stand to stream the next episode of Suits comfortably.

4. Phone Stand Using Pencils

Need a quick, DIY phone stand to record your presentation for the next meeting? Grab five pencils and use three to fashion a triangle secured using rubber bands or string, adding an exitra pencil on one side for the stand base.

5. Phone Stand Made of Cups

Instead of dumping more party cups into the environment, use them to create a functional DIY phone holder you can use around the house. The process is straightforward, too. Create a medium-sized hole on the side of two, slot the third cup between the two cups, and voila! A custom-made phone stand from cups you’d have ended up dumping.

Have fun with painting, coloring, drawing cute patterns on the cups, or covering them using fancy washi tape. Other ways to make this include using a single disposable coffee or ice cream cup.

7. DIY Phone Stand From Binder Clips

For this one, pull a pair of binder clips off your old business reports, clip them together to create a phone stop, position your phone, and you’re good to go. As shown in the video above, there are many possible ways to use clips as a stand for your phone.

8. Key Chain Phone Stand

By attaching a piece of wood to a key chain, you can create a handy portable phone stand. Depending on your phone’s size, mark and cut out a notch in the wood where the phone will sit. You can paint the wood or leave it plain.

Sometimes all you need to make the best DIY phone stand is to repurpose a toilet roll, cut it out in any shape you’d like, and use it to hold your smartphone investment.
