- MONO Maxi Power tape
- MONO MULTI liquid glue
- MONO 100 2B Pencil
- Greyboard 1-1.5 mm thick
- Coloured paper or wrapping paper
- Ruler
- Cutter
- Scissors
Step 1: Create the basic shape
The mobile phone holder comprises just 2 basic elements. For the main shape, transfer the measurements from the photo onto the greyboard and cut both elements out. Then carefully cut out the drawn slot using the cutter.
You can find the template with original dimensions to print out here. Either print it onto A3 paper or use two sheets of A4 and then stick them together.
Step 3:Customise the design
To give your mobile phone holder an individual style, you can glue some coloured paper or patterned paper of your choice to the basic shape. The best thing to use is our glue roller PN-JP on the edges of the basic shape. Glue rollers are particularly good for glueing straight edges of paper.
But be warned: Make sure that you fold the cardboard as you glue it, otherwise there will be too much tension on the paper and it will tear.
Step 5:Put the mobile phone holder together
Fold the large element so that a triangle is created from the various parts. Use the remaining piece as a connecting element to hold the various sides together. The thin tip of the MONO MULTI liquid glue is particularly helpful for applying the adhesive precisely.
Finally, insert the small piece of glued greyboard through the slot. You can now store your mobile here.
