7. COUNTERFEIT CONTAINERS

Go online and type in “secret hiding places.” You’ll be amazed by how many brand-name phony containers are available. Comet, Coca-Cola, Bush’s Beans—whatever. But you can craft a homemade version too. This mayonnaise jar interior was spray-painted with cream-colored paint for plastic.

8. THE APPLIANCE CAPER

If your refrigerator or dishwasher has a snap-off grille in the front, a lot of secret storage space is under there. Ask yourself this: How many burglars will be thinking about cleaning your refrigerator coils? But before you stuff treasures under a fridge, take a peek to see where the coils are. On some models, a stack of cash might block the airflow. That will make the fridge work harder and could even damage it.

FAMILY HANDYMAN’S FIELD EDITORS’ SUGGESTIONS

Here are their favorite ideas for secret storage places:

9. “Drill a hole in the top of any interior door. Size it to fit a cylinder such as an old film container or a cigar tube. Roll up some bills and keep them there.”
