Wireless Charging Book

This Instructable is for those of you who wish to have a wireless charger for your phone with it being a little less obvious about it being a phone charger. This can be made from any book as long as you are ok with never being able to read from the book again.

I chose to use the 6th book in the Harry Potter series. This is because it is my favorite of them plus I like the artwork on the dust cover. In addition it adds to the sense of magic since wireless charging is basically which craft.

I sourced my book off of Amazon for about 5 bucks as I opted for a used copy. You don't necessarily need one with a dust cover it helps tidy things up at the end.

I went with: Qi Wireless Charger, GMYLE Mini Qi Charging Pad for All Qi Compatible Smartphones.

This again I sourced from amazon.

Also since I have an iPhone I purchased a BEZALEL® Qi Wireless Charging Receiver Phone Case.... Again purchased on Amazon.

Using a 2.75" hole saw, cut a hole about the depth of the thickness of your charger. Once that job is completed you'll need to provide a slot for the cable to go through. I used an Xacto to cut through the layers about a half inch wide to allow for the USB to pass through.

Now comes the slightly tedious part. Spray each page that you drilled and cut the slot together. This is to provide a bit of rigidity for the book to receive the charger.

Now all you have to do is insert the charger into the book, slip the cover onto the book to hide everything, and start charging your phone.
