2. Dino
Yep, that's half of a dinosaur toy. To make this cute DIY mobile phone stand, you will need a dino toy, caulking, and a suction cup. Cut the dino in half and fill its insides with the caulking. You then attach the suction cup to the cut-off torso of your dino. Add caulking to the soles and tail of your dino as well. Let dry for several days.
