Easy Ways to Make Small Sliding Barn Door for your Peephole

Small Sliding Barn Door - While peepholes are meant to let you see who's at your door before you open it, recent news stories have revealed how susceptible they are to tampering. According to media reports, people can manipulate peepholes in order to see inside a house or hotel room via small cameras.

To increase her home's security, blogger Stephanie and her mother, of Mother Daughter Projects, came up with a brilliant DIY solution that's "cute, functional, and removable." Using many items that were already in her mom's craft box, they created a mini sliding barn door out of Popsicle sticks.

After gluing the sticks together, adding the X pattern and staining the door, they added Lego wheels to easily slide the door along a metal bar whenever the peephole is not in use. (Don't have any Legos? Small wheels from the hardware store will work just as well.)

Just like that, they made their home a little safer—and a whole lot cuter!
