Make your own knobs for your furniture.

As you might know I had some fun earlier this week with clay,

I am excited to show you another little project that I made that day.

I may have mislead you with the title of this post, because really what I did was up-cycled some old knobs with clay.

Remember this photo from the last post??!!  :o) Yep that is my knob already to the painted point of making it.

Check out my other post for the actual tutorial on "how to" work with the clay!

This is the final product.

A fun up-cycled knob.

Much better looking than the original gold-ish colored knob it started out as! 

I should explain that I came across a bag-o-knobs at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago and have been wanting to do some fun project with them....starting with clay! 

I started with the old knob and just formed the clay around it.  I tried to work the clay to the edges of where the knob so that it could all be painted and look the same.

I just kept working and smoothing and sometimes adding a few drops of water to smooth further.

Then I added a glossy top coat.  

No literally a top coat!

I used some top coat nail polish I had around my house to give the knob a nice shiny finish.

What do you think?  Kind of a fun way to up-cycle an old looking knob right??

Please please please go and check out my giveaway---it ends on Thursday!
