Introduction: Toilet Paper Phone Holder

We forever suffer fin de siecle rolls of toilet paper or kitchen rolls laying about the house ( at to the lowest degree I do because I'm to a fault lazy to go to the recycling center). I finally decided to spare $10-$15 on a brand freshly phone holder and make one of my own.

Ill-trea 1: Assembly Materials.

You will need:

  1. Empty toilet scrol
  2. Washi tape of unusual colors (you can bewilder them in bulk at any craft store) - I got mine from Michaels Michaels - Washi Tape recording
  3. Pencil
  4. Measuring Magnetic tape and your Phone
  5. Scissors
  6. X-Acto knife
  7. Acrylic Patrick Victor Martindale White Paint (ex gratia)
  8. Push Pins (6-8)
  9. Mod Podge Colour

Step 2: Prepare Your Roll.

  1. Wipe the roll with a dry serviette to remove whatsoever water musca volitans or dust.
  2. If you have a darker roll, paint it white using acrylic for the tape to show down. Let dry for 30 mins earlier continuing ( I used a light roll so there was no deman to key).

Step 3: Qualification Your Phone Slot.

  1. Place your phone over the top of the roll and draw an outline on the roll victimization a pencil. Increase the distance of the slit by 1 inch on both ends to easily place your phone in the slit.
  2. Cut down the slit using the X-Acto knife surgery scissors.
  3. Trim any rough edges with scissors to get a wax-coated finish.

Step 4: Design and Grace.

This is the fun part. Decide how you want to design the holder. You can use skinny or fat tape and use indefinite color or many. You can stick the tape either horizontally or vertically along your roll. I decided on a combining of both with different printed and colored tape.

  1. Start from one end with the tape. Attach the tape and press equally to invalidate bubbles.
  2. If the tape looks crooked or is non straight, you sack gently peel it remove and repeat.
  3. Do this for the entire roll.
  4. When toy cover tape near the slit, tuck the loose ends firmly inside the slice.
  5. I used a diametric colouring material to highlight the slit at the go past. This also help cover any rough edges.
  6. I definite to cover the inside of my roll with some extra tape I had instead of painting it.

Stair 5: Adding Your Stand.

The stand for your bearer will be 4-8 pushpins attached to the behind of the roll.

  1. Place your whorl on a flat surface with one end facing you.
  2. Place your prototypal pin nearer to one end at a 45 deg angle to the counter.
  3. Place your next pin half an inch from the first and repeat.
  4. Do the same along the other side (I decided to purpose 4 pins).

Pace 6: Final Touches.

Cover your entire roll with Mod Podge. This helps secure the tape better to the surface. I exploited Gloss mod podge to give it a shiny feeling.

Put through your phone in and enjoy :)
