Stash Box

The stash box is a little safe for any item you need to hide. The box has a sliding lid that that can only be opened by being pushed by a paperclip. Since the box is small, it is very easy to hide and is also easy to bring with you.

Supplies

4 1/2in x 3ft x1/4in wood

Wood Glue

Any color paint

Next you will be painting the box to make it more special to you. I chose black but any color works.

Drill

You will need to make a way to open this box. Since we don't want other people to get into your stash box, you will drill a hole about the size of a paperclip at the same height as the lid. This makes it so that the lid can only be opened by being pushed by the paperclip.

Paint (optional)
