the average burglar will spend 8 to 12
minutes routing through your personal
items looking for anything of value so
for this project I’m going to show you
how to turn an old jar of salad dressing
into an inconspicuous secret safe
it’s completely hidden in plain sight
start this project with a jar of Miracle
Whip and a can of ivory-colored spray
paint while you’re at it you might want
to pick up a cheap tin of cat food as
well and you’ll see what that’s for in
just a minute now all we’re really after
here is the plastic jar and the lid but
rather than dumping all the salad
dressing in the garbage just scoop it
into another container so you can still
use it later if you want scrub the
inside of the jar clean with soap and
water and make sure it’s dried
thoroughly because that’s the only way
our spray paint is gonna stick I’m using
an ivory colored spray paint that’s made
for painting plastics you can see this
is the kind as the paint and primer in
one shake the paint for about a minute
then carefully spritz the inside of the
jar and give it a very light coating you
might want to wrap the container with
something like a paper lunch bag and
tape it around the neck to make sure the
outside of the jar doesn’t get covered
in paint
it’s a good idea to spray very thin
coatings one at a time so the paint
doesn’t run take your time and do it
right and the end result to be a lot
more convincing now if you’re like me
and don’t have the patience to wait
twenty minutes between coatings try
using a hairdryer to blow a little warm
air around for about 30 seconds at a
time this speeds up the curing process
dramatically but be careful because if
it gets too hot it can warp your
container after only 5 minutes I sprayed
and dried 5 different coatings and you
can already see just how genuine our
decoy jar is starting to look in fact if
we set two jars side-by-side you can
barely tell which ones real and which
one isn’t now to help protect the fresh
paint from getting scratched up I picked
up a sheet of sticky back foam from the
craft store for 89 cents I cut out a
circle the same size as the bottom and a
rectangle that matches the sides and
after pressing them into place you can
see it protects the paint and helps
cushion whatever we place inside now you
could stop here and simply load up your
jar with whatever stash you’re trying to
hide and tuck it away somewhere in the
fridge it’s as easy as that because the
last place anyone will look for
something valuable is in a jar of salad
dressing but if you want to take it one
step further we can go to the next level
by adding a false bottom grab a cheap
tin of cat food and bust it open this
one is only 69 cents at a local grocery
store and it’s definitely worth the
money for the
a layer of protection use the cat food
any way you want but save the can and
make sure you clean it until it shines
now watch how perfectly this cam fits
into the top of the jar it’s like it was
meant to be from the lip at the top even
prevents the cam from falling through as
well
I tried wrapping three layers of
electrical tape around the can near the
top and you can see this simple
modification makes it so the cam locks
firmly into place and won’t fall out
just test the lid to make sure it screws
back on and your deceptive miracle safe
it’s just about done now if you find
you’re having a hard time screwing the
cap on it’s probably because your tin of
cat food curves up slightly at the top
and won’t push all the way down you can
address that challenge by grinding the
top of the jar down around a quarter of
an inch this will compensate for the
extra space and get the screw threads
close enough for the lid to get a good
bite on the jar to finish up simply fill
the Canlis so in the Miracle Whip you
took out of the jar earlier and when you
push the can back into place take a good
look at your creation if you get the
impression your jar is completely full
of salad dressing then you’re finished
go ahead and load up your jar with
whatever it is you want hidden then
cover it up with the creamy dressing to
conceal your treasure inside you’ve just
made yourself a miracle safe that can
use for treasure hunting geocaching or
anything else you’d want to use it for
now for ultimate security try blending
your jar in with all your other
condiments and if you can hide it way at
the back so it’s even harder to get to
and stays out of sight and out of mind
chances are no one’s ever gonna open it
anyway even if they’re living in the
house with you by the way if you’re
still paranoid that someone’s gonna
figure out your little secret try going
one step further by pouring a little
plaster of Paris into the bottom of the
jars this will make the jar feel heavy
and full the weight won’t give it away
if they pick it up well now you know how
to transform a simple jar of salad
dressing into a covert miracle save it
puts the odds in your favor by modestly
keeping your valuables hidden in plain
sight
well that’s it for now if you liked this
project perhaps you’ll like some my
others
check them out at the king of random
calm well now that you know where to
find my secret stash I really can’t use
this in my house anymore can I so I’m
gonna give this to one of you no matter
where you are in the world so hang tight
and I’ll tell you how to win it in just
a second this video was sponsored by
Casper calm which is awesome because it
means I can get you $50 off a memory
foam mattress just use the promo code
the king of random when you’re checking
easy you might remember that four months
ago I ordered a king-sized mattress for
my wife and I so we could test it out
and tell you about our experience so far
it’s been really good and I’ll show you
why looking inside you can see the
mattress is made with premium latex foam
on the top and a layer of high density
memory foam underneath I actually really
like this combination because it’s firm
enough to support me and the memory foam
shapes to my body for extra comfort
now Caspar gives everyone up to a
hundred days to return a mattress if
they don’t like it but after two weeks
we went ahead and sold our other memory
foam mattress because the Casper ended
up being more comfortable in a better
price anyway our line of thinking is
that if it’s true you spend a third of
your life in bed it’s probably a good
idea to be sleeping on a mattress that’s
good for your body I’m recommending the
Casper because it’s what I use and if
you go to Casper comm slash the king of
random right now and enter the promo
code the king of random you’ll get an
extra $50 off your price tag just for
watching this video if that’s not enough
they’ll even give you a hundred days to
return it and come pick it up for free
if you decide it’s not for you if you
want to win the miracle safe from this
video just click the link in the

passcode with your email address thank
you so much for watching and supporting
my videos Your Enthusiasm gets me really
excited and I’m just finished making a
whole bunch more videos that I’m really
anxious to share with you so I’ll be
looking for you in the next project
