I need new knobs!!

[Jo]

Hello,

I'm jazzing up some old pine furniture for my daughter's room. I've sanded, am about to print pink daisies on some of the drawer & door fronts, varnished etc etc. (thanks to advice from some of you lot the wood has come up a treat...we're really pleased with the result). However, the door & drawer knobs are looking a bit tired & I thought about replacing them with some plastic pink daisies I thought I had seen (at a very reasonable price) from B&Q. However, I couldn't find them in the shop...perhaps I had imagined them! Does anyone know where I can find such a thing? I need about 20 knobs in total so they can't be too expensive. I've had a look on the Internet & on eBay but everything I've seen so far is about £3 - £4 per knob...too much! Please let me know if you have an idea where I can find pretty girly knobs (preferably pink & daisy-like - to go with a Hello Kitty bedroom for a

5-year-old). Thanks, Jo

You could always keep your original knobs, sand the fronts flat and stick whatever designs you want on the front - making for complete originality.

There are probably loads of ways of doing this, from cutting pictures out of magazines, gluing them onto thin wood which you then cut out and varnish the whole thing before sticking it onto the old knob, to glueing plastic hairclips with girly designs onto the knobs.

Well you appear to have the skills to paint pink daisies so why not get plain pine knobs and give them the same treatment? The sheds have them and a few sizes, don't know the cost though...

I have vague memories of flowers on white background knobs as well but I don't think they would go very well against varnished pine.

Try:-

have packs of 10 plain knobs for under 6 quid. You could then decorate as required.

I have a big knob going spare ;O)

Seriously though, try googling on "big knobs"

I am sure u will find something to suit your needs. :O|

Here's some Hello Kitty ones...

"wooden flower pegs"

[Suz]

costs a fortune but look at these - you can specify the colour too

[Tim]

look! :-|

[Jo]

Yep! I saw these too, but they were a little on the expensive side. I'm still trying to look at Nick's suggestion of the 'wooden flower pegs' in Studio catalogue

but I can't find them!

Oh go on, brace yourself, you know you want to!

OK, I'l;l have a look for you ... hang on ...

[Mary Fisher]

Yes, daisy-shaped knobs in every colour you can think of. 2" diameter, I think.

Boring or what!

[Suz]

[Suz]

item number 004-632-64KC but if youve found real knobs theyd be better, save hacksawing the stem down.
