DIY Cardboard Laptop Stand Tutorial
Get your laptop up off the table and give your back a break. All it takes is a few pieces of cardboard out of your recycling bin and about 15 minutes of easy work. GreenUpgrader has provided a simple-to-follow set of instructions to make your own cardboard laptop stand completely for free.
Instructions, via GreenUpgrader:
Step 1: Download the pattern & print it out. Use an old sheet of paper that you were going to recycle so you don’t waste a new sheet.
Step 2: Cut it out, and trace it on the box. Stencil “1″ is the base and it is only half of it so you’ll have to trace it onto the box, then flip it so it mirrors the outline you just made. You’ll have to trace stencil “2″ twice as we need two of these. (click on the images to enlarge)
Step 3: Cut out the patterns. If you have a box cutter or an exacto knife, it’ll be a lot easier, but if not, it can be done with scissors.
Step 4: Put it all together. the flat side of part 1 goes against the table and you slide the slots of part 2 into part 1’s slots.
The best part is, you can take it apart and it’s flat and light so it can go wherever your lappy goes.
I love fun eco DIY projects – especially when they’re totally free. You get to upcycle some cardboard and turn your laptop into an ergonomic workstation – it’s a win-win!
