Although I am a steampunker, I am also a romantic husband and father of a young daughter. And that is why I want to present you this instructable as my valentine´s gift to you.
Some walnuts left from our Chritmas party, brought me to the idea to create this mystic valentine´s necklace keeping a lovely secret in. It is very easy to do, so you probably make more than one of these secrets keeping walnuts e.g. maybe as a gift to the young ladies joining your litle daughter´s next birthday party or so......
You need just a few tools and some wood glue.
So let us start wit this project and see what sort of secret is kept in :-))))

I am working on it ;-)))
In truth I also got some red hearts from an LED light chain which fits also in the walnut........driven with some small batterie cells and the inner side of the nut covered with dark blue velvet or satin....which hides the cells........a switch is integrated the two halfs of the walnut..... LED starts when opening .... let us wait and see;-))))))

I have another proposal :Let us convince member agis 68 together to join us and let him start his own production of walnut secrets in greece , so one day someone you know returns from a trip there and show you this wonderful souvenir ;-)))))))))))
