Give your knob a NEW style!

My kitchen cabinet knobs were in style back in the '90's. .

So, here is the BEFORE picture.

Those centers actually match my counter tops. We are planning a few changes in the not too distant future but in the meantime, I thought that just changing the knobs would be a rather significant change


This is the AFTER picture and below are a few more pictures of the process.


I figured that anything 'Tim' would be an update so I started with a pad of his papers and cut this into the appropriate sized circles. But, first I had to pop out the laminate from the original knobs....(not easy) and then after cleaning out all of the residue and oils, I spray painted the brass knobs with a brushed metallic 'Oil rubbed Bronze' Krylon paint.


I needed 1 1/4" circles and didn't have that size punch so I looked through any of my dies that had a circle and found one with the correct size. In the end it would have been quicker to use an electronic die cut machine.



I used the 'Ice Resin' on top of each of my paper discs and let these dry overnight. 


And..........now here are my 'NEW' knobs!


I'm quite happy with the result and it all happened because...................I Scrap and Stash!

I got everything except for the spray paint at Scrapbooker's Paradise on Macleod Trail and the paint next door at Rona.
