DIY Cell Phone Charger Organizer

When I first saw this cell phone holder on Pinterest, I knew I had to make one! THIS is the tutorial I used. And here is mine...


Supplies needed are:
 1 baby lotion or baby bath plastic bottle
Scrap fabric
Mod Podge
Foam brush
Scissors

I cut the bottle to the shape shown in the tutorial that I linked to above. (Sorry, I didn't get any pictures of this stage in the process for some reason.) Then I traced the cut bottle onto my fabric & cut it out. I used a generous amount of Mod Podge glue to adhere the fabric to the bottle, then gave it another good coating on the outside.   


I let it dry, & since I can't leave well enough alone, I decided to use some puff fabric paint to make a cursive "L" on the front~for Lindsay. Not sure I like the "L" that much, but oh well!

I've really been enjoying having a place for my cell phone while it's charging and not having that cord hanging down getting my way. Although my husband made fun of me for making this geeky project, I couldn't be happier! :)


I had a little fabric left over, so I made these rosettes & added some buttons for the centers. I think one would look cute on the front of my holder if I decide I want to cover up that "L"!


Let me know if you give it a try! (...and what your husband thinks :) )

Don't forget~there's still time to throw your name in the hat to win an autographed paperback of Lela Davidson's hilarious book, Blacklisted from the PTA! See the post below to enter! Drawing is July 22nd!
