How to Hide Items In The House (7 Secret Safes)

Snooping parents or roommates? Maybe you want to protect your belongings from burglars! We've got 7 SNEAKY ways to HIDE anything using common household items.

1. Dog Toy Key Hider
If you’ve got 4 legged pets, grab one of their toys and cut a slit through the seam. Squeeze the toy to open up the inside and place items inside. Just keep it away from the dog and it will appear as a boring dog toy. You can also hide a house key inside and stow it away in the backyard so it seems like fido just got lazy.

2. Super Sharpie Safe
Next up is the sharpie safe. Get a sharpie and remove the tip from the base. Just wiggle it a bit. Go ahead and cut the refilling tube to a shorter length and then add small items inside. My B-12 vitamins fit nicely. Put a small cotton ball in the tube to hold the items in place then simply reassemble the marker and place it back where you found it.

3. Fake Thermostat Safe
If you stumble on a cheap thermostat, they make great hiding spots. Detach the casing from the base with a screwdriver and separate the two. I found this would be perfect to fit my prized coin but you can adapt it for anything small. Once placed, just seal up the thermostat and mount to it a wall. Your item is locked down, safe and sound.

4. Freezer Lock Up
Get yourself a tube of premade dough like rolls or bread. Cleanly slice around the edge until the top pops out from the pressure inside. In a bag or small plastic container, hide your items that can be frozen. Keep the dough inside so the weight feels right and add your items to the mix. With some super glue you can quickly make the seal look like it never came off and then add your dough tube back to the freezer for a little ice cold protection.

5. Hair Brush Hiding Spot
Many large hair brushes have a bristle pad that can be removed. Find one that suits you can pull up the pad with a screw driver, revealing a little alcove inside that’s a good spot for a little emergency cash. Get the pad back into place by tucking it under the plastic and then you can keep it wherever you want in plain site without anyone being the wiser.

6. Door Stop Safe
This is a soft door stop, you’ll see them all over the place but many have the ability to hide belongings. If you flip it over and pry the pieces apart, you will find a nice little area to store those secret data files. Place an items inside and just snap the backing into place again so it looks good as new. Install the door stop where you need it and enjoy protection from the door and thieves.

7. Hide Things in BUTTER
If you need to hide something long term and aren’t afraid to get messy get some spreadable butter. With a knife or your hand, loosen the butter up and get it into a microwave safe container. Place it in the microwave for about 30 seconds at a time until it is all melted. Now get the item you want to hide and protect it in a container. Place the item at the bottom of the butter container and pour all the melted goodness back on top. Stick it back in the fridge and after about 30 minutes it will look like it did beforehand but with your item secured inside giving you easy access if needed.

"easy access" just dig through the butter with your bare hands.

If I had a dollar for every girl that found me unattractive, they would eventually find me attractive.

Note to my future boyfriend: Put a ring in the bottom of the butter container with a note that says "You're my butter half".

[hujiannong]

[realjames]

i...

[bloodyax]

You just taught people how to store drugs...

[MyHolyxDarkness]

And then you forget that you hid things there and throw them away.

[Gears_Starting]

I don't think the ones where you hide your valuables with perishable items were such a good idea. This is especially if they are kept in more public areas such as a refrigerator in the kitchen where anyone could use them.
