DIY headphone stand

A special stand for headphones will be appreciated by music or game lovers. In stores you can find a huge variety of models for different types of devices. However, it is possible to make a modern and stylish device on your own. Read on to learn what the stand is for and how to make it yourself.

Why is a headphone organizer useful?

To organize the most comfortable and convenient space for work and rest, every thing should be in its place. Headphones are no exception. The stand allows you to:

• ensure safe and convenient storage of headphones and thereby extend their service life;
• place the device in a visible place and always have it at hand at the right time;
• decorate the room with an interesting and bright design.

The issue of choosing a template should be taken especially seriously. After all, the beautiful and unusual design of the product can make it the highlight of the room. In addition, the design can simultaneously perform various functions: hold the headphones in a certain position and have special holes for storing flash drives, wires and other small items. The following options are popular:

• Compositions from plastic pipes. This method is especially relevant after repairs and replacement of plumbing equipment.
• Metal forging. This type will be durable.
• The wooden stand is convenient and easy to make. It can be made from almost any log that does not have knots.
• From Lego, which you can borrow from children or buy a couple of packs in the store.

In this example, we will consider an interesting and modern option with LED backlighting from USB. You need to prepare in advance:

• plank (pine);
• acrylic glass;
• hook for hanging;
• USB controller;
• sheet of paper, pencil;
• ruler;
• adhesive composition;
• drill, plane and other tools.

IMPORTANT! In general, the choice of template and manufacturing method depends on the available materials and tools, as well as the personal wishes of the headphone owner.

How to make a headphone stand with your own hands?

Once all the necessary materials and tools have been prepared, you can begin the manufacturing process. Follow a certain sequence of actions:

• We will make the basic element of the stand from a piece of wood and acrylic glass. First, cut out two circles of equal size from wood. For example, it can be 18 cm.
• Next, draw a rod on the board that will hold the hook. Recommended support dimensions: 30 cm in height and 5 cm in width.
• Then, using a glass cutter, cut out a circle of aluminum glass. In this case, the diameter must match the wood blank.
• We insert the rod into the base, making holes in all the blanks in advance. All circles should be aligned with each other, and the outer edge should be sanded.
• On an acrylic mug we drill three holes for the LED strip.
• We cut out a ring from the bottom of the circle so that the ribbon can be placed there.
• We insert the rod into the stand, drill a hole in it for the hook and thread it in.
• Next, the elements are glued together using a polyurethane adhesive and dried for 5-6 hours.
• Then the USB controller is connected to the LED strip using heat shrink tubing.
• A hole is cut out at the bottom of the base for the wire and an LED strip is placed inside the ring. It is fixed with glue and the wiring is brought out.

ATTENTION! In the above example, you should not make the wooden mugs too small, since the stand must be stable under the weight of the headphones.

Recommendations

An image or logo on the base of the stand will look unusual. It can be printed on a printer and applied to the top piece of wood. Cutting can be done with any tool that is available. It is convenient to trace the edge of the picture with a wood burning device. Here are a few more tips that will help you get the job done better and faster:

• First, a guideline is drawn on the board using a simple pencil, and only then the drawing is cut out with a jigsaw.
• It is better to use a concave shape of the stand: like an hourglass.
• As a hook, you can buy an ordinary bathroom hook hanger at a hardware store.
• Wooden surfaces require sanding to avoid scratches.
• Wooden elements can be easily painted with stain.
• Pay attention to the glue: it must be polyurethane, not wood glue.
• Remove excess glue in a timely manner so that after drying the product has a beautiful and neat appearance.

REFERENCE! You should prepare two types of sandpaper: coarse and fine grain.

Thus, making a headphone stand is quite simple with your own hands.We hope that this article will be useful and informative. To diversify the appearance, you can show your imagination and cut the holder in the form of an interesting figure. They also use combinations of various materials: plexiglass, metal, plastic and others.
