You can buy simple and cheap charging modules based on the TP4056, the charging current is adjustable by changing a resistor value. You can buy them with or without protection circuits.

Protection circuts good, no protection circuits bad.

End of safety story.

Adafruit Micro-Lipo Charger for LiPo/LiIon Batt w/MicroUSB Jack (v1)

Oh so handy, this little lipo charger is so small and easy to use that you can keep it on your desk or mount it easily into any project! Simply plug it via any MicroUSB cable into a USB port and a 3.7V/4.2V lithium polymer or lithium-ion rechargeable battery into the JST plug on the other end...

Those can use a USB input, or have wires soldered to them.

Or really low cost (80 pence each, in a batch):

Again, there are solder pads for hard wiring as well as the USB connection option.
