decoupaged wooden knobs

Sometimes all you need to inspire an awesome craft project is simply learning a new technique. So buckle up. I’ve got a great little technique that can be used for a heap of different projects. I’m going to show you how to make decoupaged wooden knobs. You’ll be so smitten with these sweet things, you’ll start scouring flea markets and searching aisles of craft stores looking for just the right item to go with them. Are you buckled up? (First, a shout out to my friend Robin who introduced me to this technique!)

supplies needed:

• wooden knobs
• Mod Podge
• printed designs/images 
• Saran plastic cling wrap 

step 1 – prepare knobs

I love the look of unfinished wooden knobs, but you can stain or paint them if desired. Then let them dry completely.

step 2 – prepare designs

Search the internet for designs you like. I googled bohemian circle designs and some beautiful images popped up. You can search mandala circle images, or any type of designs you want. Here’s an example of two I like:

Print the designs, then cut them in circular shapes just a tad larger than the face of the wooden knob.

step 3 – apply designs

Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the face of the wooden knob and just a little to the sides (not the stem). Place the cut-out design on the knob and cover with another coat of Mod Podge, pushing the edges down on the sides gently. When the paper is sufficiently adhered to the knob, cover the knob with a piece of Saran wrap to keep the design in place as it dries.

After about 15 minutes or longer, remove the plastic wrap and again apply one or more coats of Mod Podge to the knob. Let dry completely.

How cute are these?! And they are EASY to make. So now that you know how to create your own custom decoupaged wooden knobs, the rest is up to you. Think upcycling a vintage dresser, attaching them to an Ikea Moppe mini storage chest, updating a nightstand drawer, decorating a mason jar lid… I could go on and on, you know. So take this idea and run!
