Step 3Cutting out the sides.

Cutting out the sides.
These are the dimensions for the two sides. Feel free to cut the slits/notches to your particular cardboard's thickness.

Also, I cut a somewhat big piece out from underneath the front of the stand (denoted by "1" in the diagram) since I wanted to be able to slide my stand forward on my desk - it's okay but I would recommend leaving this piece intact.

Also, the front hooks (denoted by "2" in the diagram) were cut a bit small, so I would recommend making them higher and taller that what's shown just to be safe.
