HERE ARE MY Picture Knob Plaques!
THIS IS my son's changing table with drawers. The middle drawer kept breaking off... so instead of fixing it. I un-screwed them all. Removed the clothing and other wood parts and made a little cubby hide out spot for the kids. WHAT DID I DO WITH THE DRAWER FRONTS?......... my hubs shakes his head, laughs at me, and says I am cute.. and creative! he!!!
BEFORE~
AFTER~ AND THIS IS what I TURNED THEM INTO!
YOU COULD EASILY pick up some wood at the hardware store and knobs and make these yourself.
STEPS:
prime wood~ two coats
paint wood~ three coats white paint
paint knobs~ acrylic paint
glaze knobs, wipe off with paper towels
finish knobs with clear acrylic sealer "gloss"
do a outer glaze paint to plaques, wipe off glaze with
paper towels.
use a stencil and brissel brush to stencil
"No." and numbers
whole punch card stock paper
glue pics. on
add twine, tie knots hang pics.
close up of the painted, glazed, and acrylic clear sprayed knobs.
angle shot!
I DUG UP some pics. that will work for now, but they aren't my fav. I want the size to all be the same. You can hang pics. widthwise too. I am getting 5x7 pics. made up in BW and they will be hung widthwise.
........
My No. 1-3 kids, oldest to youngest. The plaques sit on my really long shelf above my window, leaning against the wall.
I HEART THEM.... YES' the kids and the boards! ;)
I am linking up with Tatertots and Jello for your Favorite Project in 2010

THANKS FOR STOPPING IN!

Wow...2 inspirational ideas from you in one day. No surprise there....I love the way you reused those door fronts. I think thats a great idea...however i would have to tweak it since I have 5 children. lol Maybe I can you the drawer front of a longer draw with 2 knobs. But that would make 6....ahhhhhh I think we're completed our clan. Having that extra knob might leave room for fate. lol Thanks as always for your wonderful crafts.
These are too cute! Love how you thought to re purpose them! You are too stinking creative!!

I want to make those! They are amazing. I don't have a changing table that I can take apart at the moment, but I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for something to use. Thanks for the idea.
When I saw this featured at Tatertots and Jello I just HAD to come by. This is one of those projects that made me say THAT is awesome, out loud even! :) Fabulous idea, i just LOVE it. Going to share it on Twitter, Stumble and Facebook. Well done :)

Hi jen :) I just wanted to let you know that this project will be my first feature as the newest Craft Gossip editor :) My channel is Home & Garden and encompasses all things decorating and home. There seems to be some sort of technical thing going on today, but if you aren't subscribed, go ahead and do so and you should be notified when it goes live :) Thanks for the great project!
This is wonderful! thanks for linking it up to the Iron Crafter! :)
Still love this idea! Cute, cute.

Super cute. I couldn't have thrown those drawer fronts out either. I like how easy it will be to change up the pics as the kids grow too.
what a great way to showcase cute photos! Not just your typical framed photo! Love it!
You made the top 10 in the Iron Crafter!

Adorable...so glad you saved the drawers fronts! Laurel@chippingwithcharm
This is such a cute project! I love how you upcycled the drawer fronts. Cute pictures, too! Thanks for sharing.
Love it! Whenever we don't want the kids to know what we're talking about, the hubs and I call them "number 1" and "number 2". :)
Really love this idea! I have some old door fronts just waiting for something like this.
These are so cute!! Great idea!
