How to Hide Your Diary At Home
Step 1
Hollow out a book if you'd like to hide your diary on a bookshelf. By disguising your diary inside of a book, it will blend into the rest of the books on your shelf. Choose an old book that you no longer want, then brush Mod Podge along the edges of at least half the pages to glue them together. Using a box cutter, cut a rectangle out of the pages inside that’s big enough to hold your diary.
You can also buy a used book from a bookstore if you don’t want to ruin any of the ones you already own.
There are a lot of videos and tutorials online on how to make a hollowed-out book that you can follow along with.
To make sure your diary isn’t discovered, pick a book that you know your parents or siblings won’t want to borrow or read.
Step 2
Put your diary in an empty container if you want a creative hiding spot. Your room is likely full of possible things to hide your diary in that no one would ever suspect. For example, place it inside an empty tissue box with a few tissues on top or put it in an empty shoebox in your closet on the top shelf.
The trick is choosing a spot that no one else would look in. For instance, the bottom of your art supply box is great if you’re the only one who uses it, but not good if your sister borrows it sometimes.
Pick a container that completely camouflages your diary so you can’t see any part of it. Make sure that your diary doesn’t affect how the container looks, either. If the tissue box is bulging out from the size of the book, for example, your siblings may suspect something is hiding inside.
Step 3
Hide your diary underneath or behind things to keep it out of sight. Think of places where your family is unlikely to look. For example, unless you have siblings who borrow your clothes or parents who put your laundry away for you, a dresser drawer can be a very secretive spot. Set your diary at the very bottom of the drawer, then pile your clothes on top so it’s completely hidden.
Put your diary in one of the top drawers of your dresser or desk if you have younger siblings who are more likely to get into bottom drawers.
Other Unique Hiding Spots for Your Diary at Home are.
Put it under a pile of stuffed animals.
Slip it into your pillowcase.
Zip your diary in an empty purse or backpack.
Attach it to the back of a picture frame.
Slide it behind your TV or computer.
Step 4
Tape it under a chair or table if you don’t have young siblings. Little kids, especially if they’re at the age where they’re still crawling, can easily find something stuck to the bottom of a chair, desk, or table. If you don’t have siblings or if your brothers or sisters are older and bigger, those spots are safer. Use enough tape so the diary is secure and won’t fall down.
Use strong tape, like duct tape or packing tape, if your diary is heavier.
Avoid taping your diary underneath your bed. That’s an obvious place to hide it and it will likely get found.
Step 5
Stash your diary under a loose floorboard if you live in an old house. Older homes often have hardwood floors where some of the boards are loose, so you’re able to lift them up slightly. If you have a board in your room that you can raise enough to slip a book into, this is the perfect hiding spot. However, make sure you can get the book back out first.
For extra protection, place a rug over top of the floorboard.
Be careful not to pull too hard on the floorboard when you’re placing your diary inside. You don’t want to damage the floor.
