Ever wanted to change knobs to your furniture? Make your own out of clay...

Instructions

  1. Small 112722 2f2016 01 06 112900 k1

    Shape the clay with your fingers until you`ve got the shape you want on you knobs. I rolled my into little balls, before shaping them in different circles. I wanted them to look rustic, not perfectly round. After shaping them I stamped the clay lightly with different patterned stamps.

  2. Small 112722 2f2016 01 06 112905 k2

    Shape back piece of knobs by rolling a sausage shape and cutting it in the length you want.

  3. Small 112722 2f2016 01 06 112910 k3

    Screw (dont push) the screws through back piece

    The back pieces should look like this before they are fastened to the knob

  5. Small 112722 2f2016 01 06 112929 k5

    Attach the back pieces to the knob using a few drops of water on your finger tip. (A couple of my back pieces fell off during baking, I glued them back on with superglue)

    Bake the clay as instructed and let the knobs cool down and harden. I painted my knobs, as white clay tend to be a bit dirty during the making.
