自拍杆已成为本年度最流行的设备之一了，但是并不是每个人都愿意花钱买一个。

　　Resourceful photo fans have now taken to Twitter to show evidence of their own home-made devices - and with hilarious results. It seems the gadgets, which hold smartphones at arm's length, can be made with a range of materials from rulers and badminton racquets to baguettes.

　　机智的拍客们当下喜欢在推特上展现他们的自制设备，他们的杰作让人捧腹大笑。这些小装置可以把智能手机放在一臂之远处，其原材料看似五花八门，尺子、羽毛球拍、法棍统统可以变成自拍杆。

　　One user glued sections of salami together to create the pole, and formed a T-shape with more salami and toothpicks to create a shelf for the phone to rest on. While perfect for home use, the sausage selfie stick might not make it past security if you're heading abroad.

　　一名用户把几段萨拉米香肠粘起来制成一个杆，又用了一些萨拉米香肠和牙签制成了一个T型架子，将手机放在上面。尽管香肠自拍杆在国内使用很完美，但如果要出国的话，恐怕过不了安检。

　　Another user came up with an instant solution to and cut a notch in a stick of bread, and wedged the phone in place, before holding the baguette in place to take the snap.

　　还有一名用户灵机一动，在面包棍中切一个凹槽，把手机插入其中，然后把法棍举到适当的角度拍照。

　　One surprise selfie stick was created using a meter rule to provide the length and Sellotape to attach the phone.

　　还有一个自拍杆出人意料：用米尺当杆，将手机用透明胶带捆绑在尺子上。

　　And it's not just the kids who are at it. Older generations have proved to be particularly resourceful with one Twitter user posting an image of their uncle using a garden stick to snap a photograph, in which he peers up into the lens.

　　自制自拍杆不是孩子们的专属娱乐，就连长辈们也脑洞大开：一名推特用户上传了一张他叔叔手举木棍自拍杆，抬头对准镜头拍照的照片。

　　Another Twitter user captioned their image: 'My uncle made a selfie stick out of my grandma’s cane.' The accompanying image shows an older man propping the cane up, with the smart phone wedged in between two conveniently placed levers.

　　还有一名推特用户给他的照片配了文字：“我叔叔用我奶奶的拐杖制作了一个自拍杆。”照片上，一名年长者把拐杖支了起来，智能手机嵌在两个便捷调节处之间。

　　Whilst in another Twitter post, a user, a fireman posing by a fire truck, snapped their lieutenant holding up an axe-like object with their phone somehow secured to it.

　　还有一名消防员在推特上发了照片，照片中，消防副队长站在消防车旁边，举着一个斧子样的物体自拍，不知手机用什么方式固定了上去。

　　For another family, taking a group shot just involved sticking an iPhone to a badminton racquet and holding it in place.

　　还有一个家庭把iPhone系在羽毛球拍上，举到合适的位置拍了一张合照。

　　The only thing lacking in these ingenious homemade selfie sticks is the button to actually take the picture!

　　不过，美中不足的是，这些新颖的自制自拍杆缺少真正用来拍照的按钮。
