In the news lately, there have been reports of people putting cameras on the outside of peepholes to see into your house\/apartment\/hotel room. I (Steph) started thinking about the peephole in my front door and possible ways of covering it when not in use.
\nAfter much thought, I came up with a DIY solution that is cute, functional, removable and adds a little more security to my home. Mom helped bring the idea into reality and had most of the materials we used in her craft stash! Visit our blog to watch a video of it come together.<\/p>\n

We started with five large popsicle sticks. We made a guide to hold the sticks while we duct taped them together.<\/p>\n

We measured and cut the sticks to cover the bottom and top. We easily cut through the sticks with scissors. We sanded the edges a little bit and glued the sticks in place.<\/p>\n

To make the X pattern on the door, we measured and cut the sticks again. It took a few tries to get the right cut on the sticks, but we had plenty of extra sticks to practice with.<\/p>\n

Before we glued the X in place, we stained the door and X-pattern. We used a dark stain we already had from another project. After the stain dried, we glued the X in place.<\/p>\n

To make the barn door move, we used six Lego pieces. I have a large Lego collection so this came from my personal stash. If you\u2019re not into Legos, you can probably do this with small wheels from the hardware store. We added a half pin to a wheel, and attached a 1 x4 tile to that. The wheel rolls very smoothly.<\/p>\n

We used Sugru to attach the handle and wheels in place.<\/p>\n

We used Sugru to attach the metal bar to the front door and placed the door on that!<\/p>\n\n
