Ever found yourself in need of a phone holder but don’t want to buy one? Here’s a creative way to make your own using just a paper cup! This simple hack requires minimal materials, making it a great, budget-friendly option.
Materials You’ll Need
Paper Cup: Choose a medium to large cup that’s sturdy and stable.
Scissors or Craft Knife: For cutting the slot that will hold your phone.
Ruler and Pen (Optional): To measure and mark where you’ll cut for better precision.
Steps:
1. Cut a Slot: Cut a slot at the top edge of the cup, wide enough to hold your phone.
2. Test Fit: Ensure the phone fits securely in the slot.
3. Decorate (Optional): Add a personal touch to the cup with colors or stickers.
Tips for Stability
Choose a paper cup that’s sturdy enough to support the weight of your phone. If your phone is heavy, avoid thinner cups as they may not hold up well.
Make sure the slot is deep enough to keep the phone secure but shallow enough to maintain the cup’s balance.

Quick and Easy: The entire process takes just a few minutes from start to finish.
