Folding Stand
Make a folding stand for an iPod, iPhone or other mobile phone and present your beloved with a customized playlist or video. This craft is similar to the Jukebox CD paper craft, but without the need to burn a CD.
Use the stand with the included jukebox or video background to draw your loved one's attention to it. Place a simple message or your own personalization on the top like "Press Play."
The folding stand was designed to display your iPod and iPhone vertically or horizontally. When not used as a romantic craft, the stand easily folds flat to the size of a business card for storage inside a case or wallet.

Fold in half along the scored line.
Fold again along the grey side.
Fold the narrow black side down.
Press down with your thumb as shown to shape the rounded score line.

If your partner is not one to notice little things, place on a chair and leave the chair in front of the TV, refrigerator, bathroom, etc.
