Go to your local store and get a box, wood sheets, a sponge brush, wood paint, and clear enamel. You will also need a saw and a tape measure. Then you will need some string and a hot glue gun or any type of glue. Make sure your wood sheets have a hole for the string on the trap door.

With the measurements, you recorded in step one (Inside dimensions) you will need to use the outline your created and adjust the width and length on the outline. This will be your trap door. When you have done that, you will need a saw, and cut out the outline.

Cut out wood pieces of an inch tall. The overall shape does not matter because it will not affect the trap door. Once you glue all of your piece on the inside of your box (On every wall) You then may paint the indie of the box black so it’s hard to notice a trap door. Wood stain is option for the outside of your box.
