I want to DIY a TLCD monitor. How can I make a frame or stand for the LCD panel?

I am on a budget and I want to make my own TLCD display from an old monitor.

I have watched various videos showing how to separate the LCD panel from the rest of the monitor, and that part seems easy.

The problem I am facing is that the LCD panel is very thin and fragile. How can I make a frame or stand to keep it upright while also protecting it from breaking?

Any easy (and possibly good-looking) solutions? I have no 3d printer and I wouldn't know how to design such a thing.

If you don't know what I am talking about, this is an example of what I would like to achieve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhldXT7yxXo
