The stand for the tablet is a very convenient thing, with which you can put the gadget in any position convenient for you. It is especially necessary when watching movies or reading e-books. In stores at the moment there are many options for these stands, however, this primitive thing can be done with your own hands.
And about how to make a stand for the tablet, our today's article will tell.
Pattern
First you need to find or select a pattern for a given element. Moreover, it is not necessary to contact specialists - you can find it on the Internet yourself, then download and print it on a printer.
Carefully cut out the printed drawing with stationery scissors. After that, select the desired fabric for sewing and fold it in half (the front side folds inwards). Next, attach a pattern to it and a pencil (you can also use chalk or a dry piece of soap) circle the picture.
Cutting
Before you begin cutting, you need to sew 2 parts of the fabric or fasten them with pins.
This is done so that the fabric is even and neat. Now you can safely cut out the drawing you made on the circled contours. As a result, you will get several details - one long rectangle and two pieces of a chisel-like shape.
How to make a stand for a tablet with your own hands? Attachment Installation
According to the scheme, an attachment is cut from the purchased piece of leather. It should be sewn with a needle and thread to a rectangular piece of fabric.
Sew a cover
Guided by the pattern, attach the sides of the pillow to the center. Next, on a sewing machine, sew all the seams of the cover. When all the details are sewn, you get the main form of the stand. In this case, the pillow-stand for the tablet (namely, its back) should not be stitched. The hole that formed there is filled with foam.
Insert the foam
Using a sharp knife and a ruler, cut 1 piece of foam rubber with a size of 320x230x40 millimeters. Next, form the shape of the stand. The second piece of foam should be 16-140320 millimeters (base * height * long, respectively). In the same way, use a blade to make a triangle out of a piece.
Now carefully push the foam into the cover and fold the 2 sections of the stand together. If part of the foam does not fit, you need to remove it and cut it a little.
That's it - at this stage, the do-it-yourself stand for the tablet is successfully made. Now you will not constantly hold a heavy tablet in your hands and enjoy convenient reading of electronic books, watching movies or photos.
What is the effect of foam rubber for a tablet?
Probably, each of us now thought, “Will the computer burn in the arms of such material?” In fact, the foam pad does not do any harm to the tablet. Quite the contrary - due to its porosity, this material does not retain heat, which means that your gadget will always cool.
How is the tablet stand in the car made?
If you are often on business trips or just like traveling by car, such a thing will definitely not be superfluous for you (especially since most modern gadgets can act as a GPS navigator). So, how to make a car stand for a tablet with your own hands?
First you need to find some stainless steel strips. As an alternative, it is unacceptable to use plastic or cardboard (why - we will tell a bit later). Next, the prepared parts need to be cut. For a car it’s enough to prepare the strip: 2 vertical ones with a length of 170 mm and a width of 10 millimeters each, as well as one horizontal one with a size of 250x20 millimeters (length * width respectively). The edges of the strips are bent using pliers in a position in which it is convenient for you to use the tablet.
The upper part of the stainless steel strip bends a little more, as it will be installed in the deflector of the car. By the way, this is not the only place where you can fix this part. The lower bar serves to hold the tablet itself. Horizontal also plays the role of keeping the gadget from falling to the side. Thus, the device will be securely fixed and does not fall out of the stand. At this stage, the do-it-yourself car stand for the tablet is successfully made. And it is fixed on thin round magnets, which can be bought at any stationery store. That is why the strips should be metal, not plastic. The back side of the magnets is attached to the deflector (using the “Moment” glue), and our stand will be attached to the front part. As you can see, the design is very primitive, but quite reliable.
Additional “upgrade” stands
For ease of viewing, you can make additional inserts. They significantly expand the angle of the tablet, which is very convenient for viewing various data and information. Also, the stand can be covered with fabric or leather (depending on the preferences of the owner).
Advantages of a do-it-yourself car tablet stand for your tablet:
- Convenient to use.
- Does not take up much space in the cabin.
- Does not spoil the general view of the interior of the car
- Easy to manufacture.
So, we found out how to make a stand for a tablet with our own hands and how to make a car holder from metal strips.
