Vintage Book iPhone Charging Dock

Hey Guys,

Now that the Halloween Season is finally over... it felt like it lasted forever! It’s time to prepare for Christmas. This iPhone Charging Dock can be a great gift for a teenager’s bedroom or dorm room.

This iPhone charger is cleverly placed in between stacked, vintage, books. You can simply slip your iPhone into the upright portal and your iPhone will instantly charge!

Items you will need to create this Vintage Book iPhone Charging Dock:

·      4 Vintage Books

·      5 ft. iPhone Charger Cord

·      iPhone Portal

·      Box Cutter Knife

·      Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

·      Ruler

**Vintage books can be purchased at a thrift store, and the iPhone portal can be purchased at an electronic store or I just used the piece that came in my beats iPhone dock.

Step 1: Once you have all your materials and tools, take a ruler and measure the top piece of the iPhone charger that connects to the phone. Once measured, draw those measurements on top of the book you would like to be your top book.

Step 2: Take your box cutter knife and cut out that little rectangle you just traced on the cover of top first book. Make sure that the rectangle is a little smaller than the iPhone cord so that it fits in there snug.

Step 3: Now that the cover layer is cut, the charger needs to fit flush into the book. So you’re going to have to cut the same rectangle into all of the pages of the first book until the charger is sitting flush. In the second book you’re going to have to cut the same rectangle as the first, although you’re also going to have to cut a straight line all the way to the back of the book, big enough so that the iPhone cord can fit flush into the pages. You’re probably only going to have to cut through the first 2 books but if your cord still isn’t sitting flush in the pages then cut the third book.

Step 4: Once the iPhone charger and cord are sitting flush into the books, take your portal piece and push it into the rectangle cutout on top of the first book. You might need to cut the rectangle piece a little bigger so that the portal piece fits nicely into the hole. Make sure that the iPhone charger piece fits through the portal and sits nicely so an iPhone can sit sturdy, upright on the book. Now glue the iPhone charger onto the portal and the portal down into the books.

Step 5: Now that portal and the cord are glued onto the books, stack the remainder 2 books underneath the other 2 books and use your hot glue gun and glue each book together. Once all the books are glued together you can now start charging your phone!

Enjoy Guys!
