Total Time: 10 minutes

Supplies:

• prescription pill bottle
• a clean rock
• E6000 glue

Steps:

1. Choose a rock that will completely cover the lid of the bottle. Thoroughly wash and dry it. Remove the label from your pill bottle.

 
2. Apply glue to the bottle lid and to the rock. Allow them to sit for approx. 2 minutes, when stick the rock onto the lid. Allow the glue to cure for 24-48 hours before adding a key and placing it outside.

 
3. Once your hide-a-key is ready to use, either dig a hole just deep enough to put the pill bottle in. In our case, tucking it into an area of our rock garden worked well too. NOTE: Just remember to find a place where people won't see you retrieve your key.

Great tip, thanks!! I have all the stuff I need to do this, but have to modify it a little. I have no rocks but I do have some bricks around the flower bed. Right now I do a small zipper bag duct taped to the back...Anything that works is a good thing. PBP

That sounds great! It's always best to use something that blends in with your yard. :)

This is a great idea. However, since most tops are "push down and turn" the rocks tend to come off. You need to find a really really good glue to make sure you don't twist off the rock.

Or maybe put the rock on the bottom instead of the top???

Don't use the tops that push and turn. Get the ones that just snap off and on.
