It’s Make It Monday!! I love the feeling of getting up knowing I need to make something new. My oldest is home sick today and she dismissed my first project and said I didn’t really MAKE something, just fixed something up and it would be better as a Thrift Shop Thursday project. So that brought me back to square one. Well it didn’t take me long for idea #2, because I walked into her room to find this…
(Yes, my 11-year-old has a cell phone. She’s had one since she was 8. Go ahead and judge me. I can take it.) Luckily I had just pinned a really great tutorial to my Pinterest board on how to make a holder for charging a cell phone. It’s from the blog Make It & Love It, which is now one of my inspiration blogs. As in, I hope my blog is as fantastic as Ashley’s is one day. I already had all the supplies I needed, which my husband will be happy about. It cracks me up that I couldn’t find an empty/almost empty baby lotion bottle. How many of those have I thrown out??? My eleven year old wanted to use duct tape instead of fabric, which ended up being a necessity and not a choice.

What a “smart idea” 🙂
Thanks!
Cool idea. But, is it safe ?
Thanks. Safe? I don’t know why it wouldn’t be. There is no plastic or duct tape touching the socket or prongs. And even if it did touch, it’s plastic. Think about those plastic child protector gadgets that get stuck INSIDE the outlet. Plastic won’t conduct the electricity in a standard household outlet.
I totally want to try this. Love it. Thank you for being so creative!!
Thanks! I’ve been meaning to make another one for myself too.
Looks great! Such a cool idea and a great way to keep the phone protected while charging. Thanks for sharing!
