It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

She took A Drill And Razor To This Book And Made The Most Useful Item In Her House!

So, if you haven’t guessed yet, you are making the coolest bedside-table charging station ever.

This “book” will just sit quietly on your end table like any other book and but be charging your phone while you sleep.

Here is how you do it:

1.  Measure out the space you need for your charging plug and mark it on your book cover.

2. Using a drill, drill a hole on each end of your mark.

3.  Using a razor or X-Acto knife, carve out a hole wide enough that your charger can fit through and deep enough so that your charger will be flush with the top of the book.

4.  Your next step is carving out a tunnel in the pages so that your cord has somewhere to lie.

The finished product should look like this:

That’s it, folks!

Place the charger by your nightstand and enjoy how inconspicuous you are with your technology!

  1. Be careful, some chargers get hot

  2. Kathy Bright says:

    Make a charging station by drilling holes and cutting pages to feed your charging cable through.

  3. It’s cute until one phone or charger heats too hot and starts a fire. Haven’t you seen where some of these connections heat up so hot and caused a fire, an explosion of a cell phone or charger, and burnings of several people?
