Secret Safe for Dad
I love this idea! It was submitted by Kristi of Enumclaw, Washington. Outside it looks like an ordinary trinket jar but inside is a secret safe for Dad's valuables.

You need:

• Medium Size Wide Mouth Jar
  (we used a salsa jar)
• Twine
• Vinyl Letters Spelling "DAD"
• Low Temp Glue Gun
• Nuts and Bolts
• Empty Toilet Paper Tube
• Scrap of Cardboard

Instructions:

Cut the empty cardboard tube to the same height as the jar. Cut a circle out of cardboard that will fit inside the jar and rest on the bottom of the jar. Glue the cardboard tube on end to the middle of the cardboard circle. Set inside the jar.

Fill all around the tube with nuts and bolts leaving the tube empty.

Glue twine all around the edge of the jar top beginning on the bottom side of the lip. Continue gluing and wrapping twine until the top is completely covered. Glue on the vinyl letters to spell "DAD".
