Coloured knobs
Resene – Get Creative, from Homestyle magazine
Pretty painted handles make handy hangers and double as cute kids’-room decorations.
You will need:
- Door knobs in a variety of sizes from Mitre 10 (screws included)
- Resene testpots in Resene Buttercup, Resene Glorious, Resene Abbey Road, Resene Curiosity and Resene Sakura
- Paintbrushes, drop cloth, blu tack, pencil and long ruler.
Instructions:
-
Come up with your knob layout design – we chose a cute, simple house shape.
-
Apply your Resene testpot paint to the knobs, and leave to dry. A second coat may be needed for some colours. Use a variety of complementary colours.
-
Arrange your knob on the floor in the pattern you want, before attaching them to the wall, paying attention to which colours are sitting next to each other.
-
Measure and mark the knob placement on the wall, using Blu Tack to help if needed. Use a long ruler and step back regularly to check the placement. Drill holes for each and screw in the knobs.
