Whether you're a DIY-Network-watching pro or just a causal hobbyist who likes to MacGyver their way out of sticky problems with an arsenal of passed-down household remedies, we all like to get our mitts on some good ol' DIY. You're definitely a do-it-yourself-er if you see hot, new products and say to yourself, "Hey, I can use [a trash can/a pink eraser/ping pong balls] to do this instead!"

Cool news, then, that chick-centric tech blog GeekSugar offered up tips for DIY'ing your very own versions of three popular charging stations out there on the market.

Take your pick from the modern Multipot, West Elm's Lacquer Docking Station or Pottery Barn's Smart Bedside Table and GeekSugar's got an idea for you to DIY your very own at home—and for cheaper!

Check out the slideshow here.
