Quick, Easy, & Cheap Amplifier for Your Iphone

When you don't have an iHome or speaker systems this works a great substitute!

Ruler/ tape measure
Box cutter
Marker
Empty toilet paper/paper towel roll
2 solo cups
1 piece of paper

Locate your speaker

Measure the length and width of the side of your phone containing the speaker

Write down your measurements on the piece of paper for later

Locate the center of the toilet paper roll by measuring it’s length and dividing by 2

Using the marker, draw a dot at the center of the toilet paper roll

Starting from the dot you just drew, mark a line about half the length of your phone on each side towards the edges of the roll (Right and left of the dot).

Using the box cutters, start from the center dot and cut outwards to the line you just drew on each side

To make cutting easier, move the box-cutter in a saw-like motion AWAY FROM YOURSELF

** CAUTION: DO NOT CUT YOURSELF– ALWAYS CUT AWAY FROM YOURSELF AND OTHERS **

Make two small cuts perpendicular to the line you just cut (about the width of your phone)

Fold the cardboard back about 90 degrees (be careful not to fold all the way) , creating a “lip” on the toilet paper roll

*This will form the opening that your phone will sit in later on*

Place one cup upside down and position the end of the toilet paper roll to the bottom of the cup
Trace around the toilet paper roll on the cup

Using the box-cutter, cut out the circle that you just traced
(Again it will help to move the box-cutter in a saw-like motion)

*tip: the more accurate your cut is to the size of the toilet paper roll, the louder your music will play*

Insert the ends of the toilet paper roll into the holes at the bottom of the solo cups

Select your favorite song
