Make a jukebox phone stand and present your beloved with a customized music playlist of songs that bring back relationship memories. Personalize the jukebox background to draw your loved one's attention to your phone with instructions to press play.
There is no need to limit the mix to just love songs. Any song that has meaning or significance for the both of you will be perfect. Maybe there was a song you sang together in the car while driving. A private joke or reference to something you've laughed about can also add some fun to your playlist.
Spotify has a free option that you can also make playlists if you don’t subscribe to a music plan. Add the app to your phone and review how to make a playlist.
The simple stand holds your phone on a flat surface and the personalized jukebox invitation allows for 2 lines of text. Place in an area your lover will pass by. Pick at least one song you can both slow dance to be even more romantic.
If you’re on a picnic or a roadtrip together, you can leave the stand behind and simply place a piece of double sided tape on the jukebox background where the phone will go and lay it down on the blanket. If you have a magsafe case, use a magnet on the back of the jukebox to attach to your phone.
Make sure you set your phone screen so it does not turn off automatically by going into Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock and select Never.
Assemble your music playlist phone stand using the detailed photo instructions below.

Use the back of a butter knife or bone folder to score the fold lines. The fold line guides are the blue dashed lines.
Line up the bone folder on the fold line guide, then place the ruler next to it and match the same distance on the other side. Push down and slide along guide lines. Repeat for each fold line.
4
Use the craft knife to cut on the black lines. When cutting, place the knife on the line where you want to cut first and then your ruler the same distance on both sides to cut straight.
Use scissors to cut along the rounded edge of the Jukebox and turn the paper slowly into your scissors.
5
Fold down along the score lines on each of the “Tape” tabs as shown.
6
Fold down the bottom of the stand as shown.
7
Fold down the bottom again.
The bottom fold will hold your phone in place even if it has a case.
8
Fold down on the middle fold line to fold in half.
9
Curl the back stand with your hand as shown by pressing in both sides slowly.
You can also use a pen to curl each side slightly.
10
Place a piece of small double sided tape on the “Tape” tab one side and complete step 11 before repeating for the other side.
11
Slightly squeeze the paper along the grey triangle and line up the tape tab so it is flush as shown.
Repeat Step 10 and this step for the other side.
12
Press the tape firmly so it will hold.
13
Place your finger inside to further curl the paper if needed. This will make the stand strong.
14
Place your phone flush against the stand as shown and on top of the bottom tab.
If it falls over easily, double check that it is flush. The bottom tab is holding the weight and keeping it from sliding back. The phone needs to be mostly upright due to the weight of the camera lenses.
15
Slide the Jukebox between your phone and the stand.
Finished! Remember to keep your phone from turning off so your beloved can see your screen and just press the play button to hear your music playlist.
