DIY Phone Holder {Creative Summer 3}

The Mini Mes are now both tweens and it seems to get harder to keep them entertained and away from technology each summer. Finding activities that they will enjoy and appreciate can be tricky but as they both have mobile phones this craft is ideal for keeping them off their handsets to be creative by making something they will both find useful!

There are two different versions that you can try; one to hold your mobile while it's on charge, the instructions for which follow later this summer, and one to display your mobile on a bedside table or desk, which is below. Both use items you will probably have in your recycling tubs already so you won't need to pay out a penny either - it's frugal! Card roll
Sugru/Blu Tack/4 Pins - Personalise each holder by using different patterned washi tape to match the season, favourite hobbies, characters etc
- Add stickers, glitter, paper clips etc too
- If you use pins as legs be careful as they can be sharp! We covered the points with a glue gun once in place
- Cut a tiny hole underneath so you can charge the phone when in the holder ** Pop back to the blog each day, right up until 5th September, for daily activities to keep the kids entertained as part of my Creative Summer project **
