Q&A for How to Create a Secret Box

Yes, just don't put a lock on it. By not making it look important enough to break into, sometimes it is better as it'll make someone who finds it less likely to realize it's secret and they won't feel so determined to find out the contents. Also, where you place it can make a difference, such as among toys or near photo boxes, etc.

I would recommend a small, basic padlock that can be opened with a key.

Anything you want! Create a time capsule to open in the future or save notes or art pieces you want to preserve.

That's up to you! Hide it somewhere you think no one will look, like in a drawer under some clothes, in the back of your closet, or under your bed.

Of course, that's exactly what it's for! As long as your object can fit in the box, feel free to put it there!

Yes, it is possible. You can just follow the steps in method one above.

Yes, but it might be a little tricky if you mean you are making it inside the box. If you want to use it as a secret compartment, you can use it in what it was from.
