Things You'll Need

• two opposing pieces of velcro
• super glue
• newspapers

Instructions

Making a Money Belt

1. Begin by laying protective newspapers on your table. Spread 2-3 sheets of newspaper on the surface where you'll be making your money belt.

2. Place the belt, with the inside facing up, flat on your work surface.

3. Glue one side of the velcro to the inside of your belt. American dollars are 6 inches long, so keep in mind how you'd like your bills stored. You might have to fold them in half the long way if your belt is narrow. Make sure the velcro extends past the edges of your bills, so they don't fall out.

4. Wait for the glue on the money belt to dry thoroughly before attempting to remove the opposing side of velcro.

5. Stash your bill between the velcro and you're ready to go, with your homemade money belt.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't access your hidden pocket in a public place. Keep a "working stash" in your pocket and the large bills in the money belt.

• Use the super glue in a well-ventilated room, because the fumes can be toxic.
