DIY Charging station

While charger cables are not nearly as annoying as headphone wires, especially when they're in your pocket

However, they're pretty frustrating as well, especially when you have lots of devices at home and end up with a different charger for your Samsung phone, your iPhone, your SO's non-smart phone, the tablet, the laptop, the camera, the whatever gadget you've accumulated over time. In the end you might have as much as ten different chargers, with ten different cables.

Now, there are a lot of different ways you can make an organizer for your chargers, largely depending on the amount of time and effort you want to spend making it.

The most complicated one is probably the recharge drawer with independent switches for each charger.

The easiest is to use a shoe box.

1. Materials :

A power coupler
A cardboard box
Scissors
Office knife
Glue / Duct tape
Pencil / Pen
Ruler
Paper Clippers
Decorative hole frames / Washers / Spacers
Other decorative elements

Some notes:

The power coupler obviously needs to be big enough to house all your chargers. But also, it's best to use one that has a central switch that on/off's the entire coupler. That will allow you to be a bit safer using the recharge station.

The cardboard box needs to be big enough to house the coupler and charger. The easiest one to use is a show box, but any of decent size, which has a lid will work. Plastic boxes and containers also work, but are a bit harder to drill into.

Decorative elements represent:presents wrap, ribbons, beads, small figurines, generally any design element you might want to add to your recharge box.
