I don’t know about you, but I love jamming out to my favorite tunes when I’m cooking. Maybe some Sinatra if I’m making pasta…maybe some bluegrass if I’m making some down-home stick-to-your-ribs comfort food…or, if all else fails, I’ll just pop on Pandora and hit shuffle!
But sometimes it’s hard to hear the phone speaker when I have pots and pans moving all over the place…and I always lose my phone under some towel or cookbook, only to find it when it ultimately falls on the floor…
So instead, I’ve found a crafty way to keep track of my phone AND hear my music better when I’m cooking! The solution, funny enough, lies in your bathroom.
Yes, I’m talking about toilet paper rolls. Love em or hate em, these buggers are pretty useful around the house…and this little DIY Phone Speaker is a clever way to use it to your benefit. All you need is some paper or Washi Tape to dress it up!
Make sure you put your phone or device into the holder speaker side down, which will help pump out the sound so you can jam to Dr. Dre when you’re cooking, cleaning or just chillin’ on the couch.
Toilet Paper Roll Phone Holder
Materials:
- Toilet Paper Roll
- Pencil
- Craft Knife or Scissors
- Washi Tape or Patterned Paper
- Glue Sticks
- 4 Push Pins
Instructions:
Place your phone on top of the toilet paper roll and trace around it to measure how big your hole will need to be. Use a buddy to hold the toilet paper roll or tape it to your desk to prevent it from moving around.
Using a craft knife or scissors, cut out the hole.
Now it’s time to decorate! You can use Washi Tape to decorate your phone holder quickly, or use patterned paper to glue onto the toilet paper roll.
Push one push pin into front and back of each round side of toilet paper roll.
Place your phone in the holder and jam out to your favorite tunes!
