Step 1: Determine Your Need
- Before you start planning and building the laptop stand, determine how you use your computer and what type of laptop stand you will need. Laptop stands can be built in different forms, heights and materials. Some are best for use in the bed or at a couch, while others are meant to be placed on a couch table or other type of table. You can build a laptop stand meant only displaying the screen and use an additional keyboard and mouse, or you can build a laptop stand which allows you to easily type and use the laptop's mouse.

Step 2: Tools and Material

Step 3: How to Make it
- There are many ways to make a laptop stand.
- You can make a simple laptop stand which will protect your lap from getting hot by cutting up plywood or other wood and adding some rubber to bottom of it so it attaches to your laptop.
- A simple and cheap laptop stand can also be built by cardboard, but it will be less reliable and stable. Corrugated cardboard is more stable than typical cardboard. There are several examples and templates for cardboard laptop stands online.
- Adjustable legs can be added for a more complicated type of laptop stand which can be lowered or raised.
- The specific instructions to make a laptop stand will depend on the material and design you plan to use. Consult additional resources after you decide what type of design and material you want for your laptop stand.
