You might want to add your own particular flourishes.Add flatter blocks to give strength to the structure – the more the better.I found ‘two-stud’ blocks perfect for this job, but supported them with sturdier blocks in front. Create the gap for the iPad to sit in.
Form two back struts – adding cross links will make the whole thing more stable.I used a combination of brick types, trying to keep it as symmetrical as possible. Start your structure with a simple base.This method is a fun way to spend an afternoon and one you can get the whole family involved in. There are 400 billion lego bricks in the world and eight billion people, so that’s 50 bricks per person – they seem to proliferate in houses like occasional tables, woodlice and dry rot, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting your hands on some. What you’ll need: Lego (other brands might be available?) With lego, the only limitation is your imagination. Because of the fragility of cardboard, this should be seen as a temporary fix – be careful not to leave it anywhere steamy, as the cardboard might lose integrity and become as limp as lettuce (lettuce makes a bad material as rabbits might eat it).There are plenty of examples on the internet of people using drills, saws and glue guns to create covers and stands that are nearly as good as the real thing. With enough time and more tools, you can create more complicated and dynamic cardboard stands.It should be a simple case of standing it up and slotting your iPad into the slot. 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.If you have a marker pen to hand you can sketch out marks to make the cutting easier and more accurate.This is probably the simplest and cheapest method on this list – it took me about five minutes to go from locating the materials to creating a fully functioning iPad stand. The benefit is that we're furnished with a plethora of raw materials with which to exercise our minds: children can jet off to other planets in cardboard box rockets, flaps become cutlasses for pirate duels and cardboard scraps serve for DIY projects, just like this.
What you’ll need: Packaging cardboard, scissors, marker pen (optional).Īlthough delivery companies claim to be transitioning towards sustainability, we're still inundated by a rising tide of cardboard packaging, which inevitably finds its way into the skip, the recycling bin or that bulging cupboard you can’t face clearing out.
