Upgrade Your Home Office Setup With A Dollar Tree Easel Phone Stand

Tired of balancing your phone against a stack of books or the edge of your desk while trying to take a video call? Fortunately, there's a simple solution to this dilemma, and it's also inexpensive. This Dollar Tree DIY will allow you to prop up your phone with ease and help make your home office decor more welcoming. All you need is a quick trip to Dollar Tree and you will be on your way to making this easel phone stand, perfect for your home office setup.

TikTok creator @belindasdiys shows how easy it is to make this DIY. Start by picking up a Mini Painter's Canvas with Easel and some peel-and-stick wallpaper from Dollar Tree. Begin by painting the legs of the easel. This creator used white acrylic paint, but you could use any color you want or even leave the wood the way it is. Then, cut the peel-and-stick wallpaper to the size of the easel and stick it to the front. Glue four small wooden blocks, like those found in a mini game of Jenga, together using hot glue and wood glue, and paint them the same color as the easel legs. You could also use any other small piece of wood. Attach the wood to the bottom of the easel's canvas. Finally, let it dry and then use it in your office. End your DIY session by gaining more inspiration from these home offices you'll definitely want to work in.

This DIY is both easy to make and easy to customize. For instance, rather than using the wallpaper, you could always paint the canvas with any color or decoration you choose. Or, you could use some sticky tack and attach an image cut to the size of the easel with a hole for the bottom of the phone stand. You would then be able to change out the stand's design depending on the season or your mood. Want a little sparkle or to create your own pattern? Hot glue some diamond wrap to the canvas or add some washi tape to give your stand a unique look.

If you like to keep track of notes, painting the easel with some chalk paint may be your best option. When you aren't using the easel as a stand, you can use chalk to keep track of ideas and tasks. You could also buy a second easel just for taking notes during your meetings. Need to charge your phone while it's on your new stand? Create a gap in the center of the stand by not gluing the wood together horizontally or by using a dremel tool to create a hole for your charging cord. And while you're at Dollar tree, tidy up your charging station instantly with this clever hack, too.
