Scrap Wood Kitchen Tablet Stand
This DIYer raided a scrap wood pile and cut pieces to fit the tablet. The pieces were then sanded and stained, although you could also paint the stand to match your kitchen decor.
Fabric Stand
This prop-up DIY tablet stand case and stand uses a pretty fabric for a punch of fun color. You’ll also need some weights, a button, heavy cardboard and some thread.
Frame Stand
Try this easy tablet stand. Use an old wooden picture frame, paint it, then add some scrapbook paper where the photo would go. Many frames are just thick enough for the tablet to rest on when propped up.
Cutting Board Stand
This DIYer was inspired by a Pinterest project which used an old cutting board for a tablet stand. After the board was painted, the DIYer used hot glue to attach a Scrabble tile holder for the ledge!
