DIY Baby Yoda Phone Stand Recycled Cardboard Craft

What do you get when you cross a Baby Yoda loving 5-year-old and a toilet paper tube? Give up? A DIY Baby Yoda phone stand, of course! For some reason, I decided to keep a TP roll I had because honestly, it’s been years since I made a toilet paper roll craft. I’ve made a bunny, reindeer, and a turkey (just to name a few), so why not Baby Yoda?

Baby Yoda Phone Stand Instructions

There are several ways to make these. If you do not have all the materials, it’s totally OK.

Use a pencil to draw out the shape of the phone stand. You want a 2.5” base for Baby Yoda’s head, and you want the sides to go in an angle so that the phone can rest. (tattooremovalportlandor.com) As you can see in the video, I free handed this and made adjustments accordingly.
Use the leftover cardboard to cut out his ears. Again, I free handed the first ear and used it as a template to cut the second ear.
Paint the stand and ears bright green and allow them to dry.
Cut a piece of tan felt to go around the bottom. If you don’t have felt, you can use paint, colored markers, or tan construction paper.
Cut out the inside part of the ear using pink paper scraps. I used left over scrapbook paper, but you can also use pink paint or pink markers.
Cut out the eyes and irises. I used a circle craft punch and a hole punch to make this easier. An alternative would be to use black and white paint or markers.
Using hot glue, glue on the felt strip, eyes, and ears. Hot glue works best on the ears because it dries quickly.

I tried an iPod Touch as well as an iPhone 8 and it worked great! I hope you like this fun and simple Baby Yoda phone stand! Play around with other fun characters as well.
