How to create your own Ipad/tablet stand

A tablet or an Ipad requires the use of both hands! But when cooking, training, or doing DIY projects, it’s more often than not impossible to use both hands – you have to put down your device somewhere. And if you don’t want to risk breaking it by dropping it anywhere, a tablet holder is more than necessary!

Making your own tablet stand comes with great perks:

Adjust the stand to the angle you prefer
Choose your favorite color of tubes and fittings
Adapt the dimensions of the stand to your device
