Do you need to record a video with your mobile but don't have a suitable support for it? In this craft we are going to do a homemade support to record with different angles.
Do you want to see how to make this support?
Materials needed to make this homemade support for the mobile
- Milk carton
- Paper or cardstock to decorate
- Saw knife
- White glue and / or heat
- Scissors and cutter
- Some weight (in my case I have taken some stones)
Hands on craft
- First of all, let's clean the milk carton well. To do this, we fill it a little with soap and water, close and shake well. We can repeat this until the water comes out clean.
- The next thing is to perform the cuts needed to have four positions different to record with the mobile: vertical, horizontal, dive and down to record videos on a flat surface. With the serrated knife or a saw, we are going to make the cuts as shown in the following photographs below.
- The first cut will be to record vertically. It is important to test the cuts to make sure they work with the size of our phone.
- To record horizontally we have to make a vertical cut.
- Cut 3, to record steeply, we will do it diagonally.
- Lastly, to record down We will use the same cut as to record vertically but we will put the mobile in another way.
- Once all the cuts have been made, we will decorate the support by wrapping it with wrapping paper that we will fix with glue or tape. Later We will open the cuts of the cardboard on the paper with the help of a cutter but instead of eliminating the excess paper we will fold it inside the cuts and we will glue it.
- To end our support we will introduce some stones or some weight that we will leave loose inside the carton. This will do to counterbalance to the place where we put the phone and provide an extra stability in case of having our mobile support on a shallow raised plate.
And ready!
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
