DIY Charging Station
Everyone needs a place to charge their phone. Instead of finding a spot on the floor or fighting over the last charging cord, make your own charging station that fits your personal decor and style. All you need is a Hiland Dairy half-gallon milk carton and yogurt cup, some spray paint, glue, and a crafting knife!
