D.I.Y. Car Phone Mount

2

Category : Car, DIY, General, Mount

Not being one for having an original idea or thought I decided to rewrite my own version of a Lifehacker article that I read about creating your own car mount for your mobile phone.

Step 1 – Get your hands on a large Bulldog clip.

Step 2 – Pop the handles off the bulldog clip

Step 3 – Get a pliers and hold the looped edge in place while bending the clips upwards with your hand (see Step 4)

image

Step 4 – The handles of the clip should look like this when you are done.

image

Step 5 – Put the handles back on to the bulldog clip so that the bend in both handles are pointing towards each other.

image

Step 6 – Put some elastic bands around the bottom of the handles for a bit of resistive tension.

image

Step 7 – Pop your phone in between the handles for a D.I.Y. phone mount.

You can clip the bulldog clip on to the air vents of your car to keep them in place and then attach your phone for an easy cheap phone car mount.

You can also accessorize the mount by wrapping wool or twine around the handles to cover the metal and give the phone a little bit more grip and protect the outside of the phone.

Happy hands-freeing.
