How to Hide Small Pieces of Paper or Money

Concealing money and small pieces of paper can be an essential part of security, if you live in a place where you fear things will get stolen. Fortunately, there are several easy and effective ways to hide money and other important information around your home.

Instructions

1. Remove a light switch cover with a screwdriver, and stuff your paper into the gap. This is an effective method as it provides a level of security and unexpectedness that other options do not. Also, the gap around switches is pretty large, which will accommodate a lot of paper.

2. Place your money in a waterproof plastic bag. If you have a private bathroom, lift the toilet lid on the top of the tank and drop the bag inside. This is clean water, so there is no need to worry about germs and contamination.

3. Purchase a money belt. These thing belts can carry a large amount of money and remain virtually unnoticeable. The belt ties around your waist, under your clothing and adheres snugly to your body.

4. Remove the cover to your radio or other battery-operated appliance, take out the batteries and tightly roll the money to fit into the space. The bigger the battery, the more space you will have, so try and use appliances that require C or D sized batteries.

5. Stuff your paper into an envelope and tape it to the back of a dresser or desk, using a generous amount of tape. Any furniture that sits flush against the wall, that you don't normally move around is a good choice. The heavier the item, the better.
