For music at the beach, in the park, or in the kitchen, you don’t always need an expensive speaker for your smartphone. A roll of toilet paper will do! TECHBOOK shows you how to make a smartphone speaker out of it.

For this tech hack, you will need:

a pair of scissors
a smartphone
an empty roll of toilet paper

Step 1: Cut a Slot

Make a cut in the center of the toilet paper roll and cut a slot approximately the width of the smartphone.

Step 2: Insert Smartphone

Now slide the smartphone into the slot. Start a suitable playlist as well.
