You own Cryptex DIY


How to create a Cryptex out of cardboard boxes?

Do you like puzzles? What about codes? Or maybe you would like a secret box that no one can open beside you. Join this DIY to create your own Cryptex puzzle box using cereal cardboard boxes and toilet paper rolls. You can create your own code using letter, numbers or even symbols of your own creation.

What do you need:


Printable PDF of Cryptex and Cryptex code if needed
4 empty cereal boxes.
1 toilet paper roll
1 paper towel roll
hot glue gun
5 beads
marker
scissors




Thank you for watching

You can find the Printable Cryptex PDF here.

* On the Cryptex PDF you will find a Big wheel and a Stopper. Although I didn’t use the Stopper in my video, you can glue it between each wheel if needed.
* My codes are printed on cardboard printable paper which gives it the antique look as an old paper. The other option is to use newspaper, lettering or create your own symbols.

Have Fun!

  2. The hole needed to be bigger to fit over the paper towel holder - FYI. Maybe there's different sizes. Just check before. :)
