Short on cash? Here are several ways you can make a stand for your iPad with everyday household objects.
Disclaimer: please make sure that any iPad stand you make is structurally sound before trying it out on your iPad, we cannot be held responsible for any accidents. Children should consult an adult before using any sharp objects.
In the pictured example, I have cut two V-shapes either side of the cardboard, then folded the centre over to use as a hinge. It should be a simple case of standing it up and slotting your iPad into the slot. Start your structure with a simple base. I used a combination of brick types, trying to keep it as symmetrical as possible.Create the gap for the iPad to sit in. I found ‘two-stud’ blocks perfect for this job, but supported them with sturdier blocks in front.You might want to add your own particular flourishes. With lego there is no limit to creativity, so go wild. Some of the newer kits have hinges in, so you can try to create your own folding iPad cover.
If you’re very clever and have a sharp scalpel, you might be able to cut grooves into each stick and slot them together, like flatpack furniture. When I tried this, the sticks splintered apart, but you may have more luck if you soak them first. This creates a smaller frame, suitable for an iPhone or smaller iPad model. You can adjust the method to create a larger frame for larger models.How long it will take: 30 mins The future is here and it’s multi-dimensional – if you already own a 3D printer then you’re probably surrounded by plastic totems of your printing career. 3D printing lets you design and produce your own items and has become more affordable in recent times.
When I was writing this, I walked around my flat, noting anything that might prove useful in building an iPad stand. My first epiphany was that I need a really good spring clean, but my second was just how many things I'm surrounded by that could be turned towards this purpose. In fact, it ruined a whole weekend, as I wandered around town mentally reforming objects as iPad stands before my very eyes.
