DIY- Cabinet Knob Decorations

Source: artisanti.com via Rachael on Pinterest

Fancy Door/ Cabinet Knobs are gorgeous yet can be quite expensive accessories to add to a cabinet or home project, especially when you are working within a specific budget. It is a shame because these added details, albeit small, can complete a look quite fabulously! Don't you think?? With this challenge in mind, I thought I would do a quick, DIY- Hand printed, knob decoration tutorial that can be done on any wooden knob for a door or cabinet.

Requirements 

Wooden Door Knob

Stanley Knife

Design

Paint

Dry sponge roller

My $3 wooden cabinet knob

Method:

Sponge/ spray paint over knob in chosen colour. Set aside to dry!

All over white wash

You will also need a design...maybe you could draw your own, use a picture or a free clip art/ downloadable. Cut carefully around your chosen image. For this project I wanted to use a simple design therefore chose an anchor. Love, love, love a coastal theme!

Stanley knife around your chosen image

This is actually my favorite part! Using a Stanley knife cut carefully around you're design. Practice really makes perfect and a seamless design is what your aiming for.

Use a Dry Sponge Roller
Use a dry sponge roller and a thick acrylic/ house paint. I do say thick because your chosen paint should have no added thinners or water. The thicker your paint is the better your hand printed design will be; you will be able to achieve quite a sharp image! Aim for the following;

• A thick paint, 
• Dry roller, 
• Firm Hands 

Do have a little practice printing your design with your sponge roller and stencil before you attempt your final hand print on your door/ cabinet knob. Do be sturdy and do not move your stencil until it is complete.

When dry, paint a clear lacquer/ gloss over your door knob and hooray your project is now complete.

 Offcourse, I do have plans for some decorated door knobs for all of the bedroom doors coming off our hallway, I just need to decide on a suitable design! Yes, I will reveal one day soon! Rach x
