DIY Ipad Stand

December 3, 2013

Build: diy personalized ipad stand
I combined the Shanty girls ipad stand with Angie’s Roost ipad stand to make this personalized ipad stand.
It’s a fast and easy build using minimal supplies that makes a great holiday gift.

You know I didn’t make just one:

I handpainted the letters and sealed everything with clear satin poly.
I purposely choose to keep the plywood edges visible, I actually like the look of the plywood ‘stripes’ all sandwiched together:
The slot for the ipad is a generous 3/4″ wide:

That extra piece of wood at the top of the stand flap is necessary to hide the end of the screws holding the hinge in place.

How to make a personalized ipad stand:

1. Cut wood pieces:
1 – 3/4″ plywood @ 11″ x 8″ (back)
2 – 1×2 @ 8″ (base & front edge)
1 – 1 5/8″ x 1/4″thick moulding @ 6″ (stand flap)
1 – 1×2 @ 1 5/8″ (hides screws)
2. Construct using glue and finish nails:
3. Let dry and sand everything smooth.
4. Print out letter for personalization:
I used monogram KK font at 550 point.
5. Center letter print out on wood back and using ballpoint pen trace around letter outline with heavy pressure:

6. The pressure of the ballpoint pen leaves a slight indent in the wood:

7. Paint on and inside the indent using acrylic craft paint:

8. Attach the back stand flap:
** Do not add string until after sprayed with poly.**
9. Spray both sides with clear satin poly to seal:
10.  Staple the end of the jute string to the back and then slide through predrilled hole in flap:

    Your Ipad stand gave me an idea..I could use that idea to built a trough for holding markers and eraser for my dry erase calendar. I knew how it should look but didn't know how to achieve the look, now by using your idea, I do..Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas. I want to go back over them to make sure I didn't miss anymore great ideas.

      Hi Suheil, regarding the font question. Most fonts that are free to download will say ‘free for personal use only’. Other fonts that you purchase will have specific details regarding usage. Hope that helps.

    Curious why you used 3/4 inch plywood?

      Hi Kathy, I used plywood because I had a bunch of small scrap pieces on hand.
