So what does a crafty girl like me do? Well I scour pinterest of course! I have found great ways to make your very own accessory board. And honestly I love most of them but one idea I loved more than others.
Here it is.... Knobs.... Whether they be door knobs or cabinet knobs they will work. And where might one find such knobs of various styles and awesomeness when garage sales aren't going on? Well Hobby Lobby of course!
Now knobs can get pricey I mean who wants to pay $4-$8 for one knob right? Well I sure don't! Well about once a month the knobs at Hobby Lobby go on sale usually they are 50% off or something like that. That is the best time to go. Also scour the clearance area for sometimes you can find some awesome ones over there for a buck like I did!
Now once you have your knobs picked out you are gonna need something to put them on. The best thing I found was a piece of old barn siding that came from my grandpa's barn before we tore it down. Thank goodness for my dad for saving a bunch of boards.
With the help of my dad and some power tools we were able to create something. Awesome! First we had to cute the length of the board that I wanted. Then we payed out the knobs where I wanted them. We proceeded to drill holes for the knobs. We drilled all the way through the wood.
Know you may notice that the screws in your knobs are too long. This is also where having your dad's power tools come in handy. He was so gracious to shorten them to the length needed. We then had to flip our board over and counter drill the holes with a bigger bit so that we can put the nuts onto our knobs . We did it this way so that no metal was sticking out as we don't what our awesomeness scratching the wall.
After all the holes and counter holes where drilled and the knobs shortened we put them in place. We then put two saw teeth on the back so that it could be hung on the wall.
The first boar I made was for my dear sister. It turned out rather cute don't you think?!
Happy pinning and crafting!
