Secret Doors and Compartments Contest

Overview

Stash your goods! Whether it’s the entrance to the Batcave hidden in a bust of Shakespeare or that compartment in your desk where you keep the microfilm, secret doors, drawers and compartments are as fun to create as they are to discover.

We want to see your best Instructable to keep things hidden. Enter any Step-by-Step, Photo, or Video instructable before the deadline to win amazing prizes, including books from Craftside Publishing! Don’t forget to show us how it works!

We’ve all got secrets. Where do you hide yours?
