This is why we go gaga over DIYs. This unique cabinet knob bouquet is a project from Simply Bloom and it has super pretty written all over. Let’s narrow down your checklist, going for unique-check!…vintage inspired-check!…ravishing bouquet-double check! Note that, you may always opt for a different concept apart from vintage, something spunky or offbeat maybe. I bet you’ll find knobs that fit the look you’d want. Ready? Complete list of materials needed and detailed instructions were provided by 100 Layer Cake.
Materials:
Vintage door knobs
Acquire lace, fabric & trims
Styrofoam cone, scissors, fabric glue & mini glue gun
Step 1:
Scavenge antique shops, thrift stores, as well as craft stores for a collection of knobs that are just your taste.
Step 2:
Acquire lace, fabric and trims to adorn the stem & circumference of your bouquet.
Step 3:
Be sure to have a Styrofoam cone, scissors, fabric glue as well as a mini glue gun on hand! *Suggestion—you can “carve” your Styrofoam cone on the sides to make the shape less solid.
Step 4:
You are going to want to cover the flat surface of your cone with some thin fabric. Draw the circumference on the fabric. This fabric must be thin because you will later press the knob through this—lace is ideal!
Step 5:
Glue the thin fabric you’ve cut around the cone.
Step 6:
Now with new thicker fabric of your choice alternate ruffling and gluing all around the cone. You can choose to go around the cone twice with ruffles for a fuller effect!
Step 7:
Wind ribbon around the cone starting three quarters of the way down from the tip.
Step 8:
Decorate with additional patterned fabric of your taste!
Step 9:
Begin to push knobs through the lace and Styrofoam. You can secure the knobs into the Styrofoam by adding a small dollop of hot glue.
Now, that’s what I call a canny creation!
