I use my iPad as a second screen for my computer, as well as an alarm clock on my bedside table.I wanted a simple stand for it, but didn't want to pay ridiculous amounts for one. So I made one, completely free. You'll need some corrugated cardboard (double corrugation works best), a ruler, a craft knife, some comic panels and some glue.



this is a little more complex than the other projects, so I've done it in 2 parts.



part 1

1. cut a length of corrugated cardboard approximately 58cm (23 inches) by 14 cm (5 1/2 inches). Cut the cardboard along the corrugation. If the cardboard has a crease, make it 12.5 cm/5 inches from the top.

2. measure 26cm (10 inches) from the top and draw a line, and then draw a line 33cm (12 2/3 inches) from the top.

3. make 3 folds along the lines - the first toward you, the second away from you and the third toward you (see images 2 and 3).

4. use masking tape to cover all the outside edges, pinching in each edge as you go.



on to part 2!
