Supplies:
Making this tablet stand from a paper towel tube is super easy. Side note; this is a great project to give your pre teens. Kids are motivated by anything having to do with technology right?
Once I measured how much contact paper I needed to cut, I wrapped the paper towel tube in it.
Lay your tablet near the paper towel tube and put marks where you need to cut.
As you can see, I didn’t do any fancy measuring or precise cuts.
Make sure the tablet fits well after you cut the paper towel tube.
Because the paper towel roll won’t support the tablet on its own, you need to create a “support system.”
I’ve done this by cutting another hole to place another paper towel tube for support.
Now we know the paper towel tube won’t roll and fall over!
Now that we’ve created a stand for a horizontal tablet, it’s time to make cuts to create a vertical tablet stand.
Using the same paper towel rolls, follow the same steps as you did for the horizontal stand.
