I like the option to use a marker because it is a little bigger. Also,I think chapstick changed their tube design a little  since the youtube video.My chapstick tube has a "lock" on it so i figured out that you can simply stick the bottom in hot water to loosen the lock ; )





Step 1: To Get Started

You will need:

Chapstick tube

Crayola marker (optional)

Scissors

Q-tip and/or pen

Napkin or paper towel

Cup of hot water

Step 2: To Make the Chapstick


First take the chapstick tube and twist it til the chapstick is all the way up, break off and discard it. Place the bottom twisty part in the hot water for about 15 seconds then grab it and pull it off . Cut off the long part just above the notch.Stick the q-tip through the bottom to push out the round part that was holding the lip protectant(chapstick) Replace the bottom part by snapping it back on. Now you have a secret hiding place for cash,etc.





Step 3: The Marker

To do this to the marker, it is very similar. Dip the bottom of the marker in the hot water  for about 15 seconds. Take off the bottom and the lid. Use a pen to push the ink tube thing out at the same time pull the marker tip with a paper towel so you can get a better grip. It will look really messy but all you have to do is rinse out the inside and outside of the marker tube. Now just replace the bottom and fill it with your cash or secret codes or whatever you want.
