    Retro doorknobs

    Give a cupboard a vintage look using doorknobs you have decorated yourself

    17 September 2014

    You will need

    • plain white doorknobs
    • pictures on thin paper
    • modge podge
    • colourless decoupage varnish
    • small paintbrush

    To make
    1
    Cut your pictures into circles that will fit neatly on the doorknobs – the easiest way to do this is to use a circle punch.

    2 Paint a coat of modge podge over the knob and place the picture onto it. Rub the paper to smooth it over the knob, from the centre outwards. It may make pleats over the curves, but simply rub them out carefully with your nail. The modge podge will make the paper more pliable. Leave it to dry before you paint another coat of modge podge over the top. Paint on another few layers of modge podge, leaving each one to dry before painting the next.

    3 Seal the picture with a coat of varnish. We used Kraftex Seal Coat Varnish. Leave it to dry overnight to harden properly before you screw the knob onto the cupboard.
