The charger itself pins the plastic caddy in place.<\/p>\n<p>I always thought this was one of those &#8220;why didn&#8217;t I think of that&#8221; ideas when I saw some of the other models on the market; made from silicone or thin plastic, they couldn&#8217;t have cost more than a few cents to make and were selling for $15-20.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently over at Zakka Life they had the same idea, because the caddy you see here is made from an empty lotion bottle, with a total cost of $0. That&#8217;s my kind of project!<\/p>\n<p>This sort of thing would be perfect in a cubicle with a wall-mounted power strip, or anywhere you don&#8217;t want the cord trailing around while you put your cell phone or mp3 player in a safe place to charge. Right now, this design has the cord sitting in the &#8220;basket&#8221;, but you could also cut the &#8220;neck&#8221; between the pouch and the outlet a little thinner, and wrap the cord around that while charging.<\/p>\n<p>You could also make it a little deeper, plug in a wall charger for your rechargeable batteries, and keep the spares in the pouch. All in all, a neat project that&#8217;s easy to put your own spin on, and a good way to save some cash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Found via Lifehacker, this cool blog post from Zakka Life outlines a craft project to make your very own cell phone holder that hangs from the wall outlet it&#8217;s charging from.
