So I decided to try and make a new holder for when my phone
is in my bedroom at night. So I looked on the internet and I found one using
blocks and I thought that is pretty and cool. When I found the blocks at the
store were two expensive I creatively changed the design.
Wood Bottom- At Michaels $0.49
Set of 6 Flower Sides/ Simply Surfaces Laser cut Design-
$3.99 but were 40% off
Tacky Glue- $1.19
Tiny Terra Cotta Pot- $0.49 but I used 40% off coupon
Large Pack of 3D Lady Bug Stickers- $0.99
Pack of 8 Pencil Grips- $1.00
I arranged three flower sides to fit my phone. I measured
using my phone and marking with pencil where it sits comfortably. I did my
design looking like a H but any arranging would do to fit different phones. I
used tacky glue to put it in place and took Q-Tips with water and wiped away
the excess glue that squeezed out.
I then took a blue pencil grip and cut it in two after I
realized it wouldn’t glue while round so I cut it in two. The smooth flat side or
inside of pencil grip I glued down a comfortable distance from the back of the
one flower design. Once the glue dried it was ready to be used.
However I decided to add 3D Lady Bug stickers to the sides of
my flower design sides. Then I bought a tiny terra-cotta pot and glued it to the
back of the holder where there was a avoid. I took fake flowers I had and put
them in a bit of foam and then placed that in the pot. I added a 3D lady bug to
the outside of the pot and one to the inside of the Daisy flower in the pot. I
later added a tiny dragonfly hairclip to the pink flowers in the picture below.
I don’t have the dragonfly in the pics below as I added it after I took
the pictures but I clipped it to the pink flowers.
I am going to change the foliage with the seasons. I already
bought a teeny little scare crow for fall and I have fake fall leaves I will
decorate with as well. I absolutely love it but will probably need to change it
a bit if and when I get a new cell phone as my phone sits snug and another
larger phone might not fit as well.
I hope you enjoy this and perhaps try something similar! I have so many other designs I would love to make, if I can find someone who needs a cell phone holder.
