Choosing your paint colors helps make this holder blend into your decor. It’s a great project to make as a gift, especially for kids and teens! **Made by:** Samantha Taylor **Time:** 30 minutes of active time, about 30 minutes for paint to dry **Level:** Intermediate (This is an easy project, but does require a way to cut wood) **Size:** 6” x 3” x 3” **Here's what you need:** - [Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Dispenser](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/diy-hardware/1006-2?plpver=1002)  - 1 piece of wood cut to 6” x 3” x ½” (base piece) - 7 pieces of wood cut to 1 ¼” x 1 ½” x ½” (stacking pieces) - Paint ![diy-smartphone-holder-supplies.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/DIY/Smartphone%20holder/diy-smartphone-holder-supplies.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=diy-smartphone-holder-supplies.jpg) **Here's what you do:** Paint wood and let dry. Attach 2 pieces of the stacking wood side by side towards the front of the base piece using Glue Dots Advanced Strength adhesive. ![diy-smartphone-holder-advance-strength-wood-pieces.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/DIY/Smartphone%20holder/diy-smartphone-holder-advance-strength-wood-pieces.jpg?width=725&height=1089&name=diy-smartphone-holder-advance-strength-wood-pieces.jpg) Use Advanced Strength to secure the remaining 5 pieces of stacking wood into a tower. ![diy-smartphone-holder-advance-strength-wood-tower.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/DIY/Smartphone%20holder/diy-smartphone-holder-advance-strength-wood-tower.jpg?width=725&height=1090&name=diy-smartphone-holder-advance-strength-wood-tower.jpg) Attach the tower towards back of the base piece using Glue Dots Advanced Strength adhesive. ![diy-smartphone-holder-without-phone.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/DIY/Smartphone%20holder/diy-smartphone-holder-without-phone.jpg?width=725&height=1088&name=diy-smartphone-holder-without-phone.jpg) Use to hold your smart phone or tablet vertically or horizontally. ![glue-dots-diy-smartphone-holder-vertical.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/DIY/Smartphone%20holder/glue-dots-diy-smartphone-holder-vertical.jpg?width=725&height=873&name=glue-dots-diy-smartphone-holder-vertical.jpg) ![glue-dots-diy-smartphone-holder-horizontal.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/DIY/Smartphone%20holder/glue-dots-diy-smartphone-holder-horizontal.jpg?width=725&height=483&name=glue-dots-diy-smartphone-holder-horizontal.jpg) If you don’t want to bother with cutting and painting wood, try scrabble tiles or dominoes in place of the small wood stacking pieces. [Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Double-sided Sheets](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/diy-hardware/1003-2?plpver=1002) would work really well for this project, as well. Just trim the sheets to the right size, then peel and stick. - [![Glue Dots](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/glue-dots-logo-1.jpg)](http://www.acmoore.com/storelocator) - [![Amazon](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/logos/retailers/amazon-logo.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/b/ref=sr_1_1_acs_h_1i_3447187011%26node=3447187011?ie=UTF8&qid=1381959613&sr=8-1-acs) - [![Hobby Lobby](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/logos/retailers/hobby-lobby-logo.jpg)](https://www.hobbylobby.com/store-finder) - [![Office Max](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/office-max-logo.jpg)](http://www.acmoore.com/storelocator) ##### Share This Post - ![Pinterest](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-pinterest-color.png) Pin - [![Facebook](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-facebook-color.png) Share](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.gluedots.com%2Finspiration%2Fdiy-smartphone-holder) - [![Twitter](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-twitter-color.png) Tweet](https://twitter.com/home?status=DIY+Smartphone+Holder%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.gluedots.com%2Finspiration%2Fdiy-smartphone-holder) - [![Email](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/assets/icons/icon-share-email.svg) Email](mailto:?subject=DIY%20Smartphone%20Holder&body=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.gluedots.com%2Finspiration%2Fdiy-smartphone-holder) ##### Related Posts ## [![](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/P1080115-1.jpg) Bee Mine Valentine's Day Card Valentine's Day](https://blog.gluedots.com/inspiration/bee-mine-valentines-day-card) ## [![](https://blog.gluedots.com/hubfs/Die%20Cut%20Valentines-009.jpg) Die Cut Valentine - 2 Ways!

I live in a small town in rural Iowa with my husband and 2 boys (all 3 of whom you’ll see featured in my projects). I’m a paper crafting fanatic who also loves photography. I enjoy making lay outs, cards, mini albums and home decor items, party decorations, and crafting with my kids. My favorite thing about crafting is getting to connect with so many people all over the world who also love creating pretty things and preserving memories.
