I have recieved numerous emails asking how I painted the checks on knobs. So, here's a quick tutorial - its very EASY. Buy 2 white knobs:
Pencil lines down center and across center:
Use those lines to create wider lines (the width is your choice), both ways:
I begin in the center and color inside every other block to create the checks:
Ta-Da....
I use a Sharpie Marker with a good point - and I use a Krylon Gold Leaf marker to trim the edges:
I trim the edges with gold:
These photos are not too clear, but I think you get the idea. Imagine the possibilities... polka dots, stripes, zigzags, flowers....so easy to do and there is no reason to spend between $10.00 and $30.00 for a knob!! If you make some, share a photo with me!
I'm saving these as a gift for my 100th follower- and I am so close!!

You make it look so easy! For someone who cannot write a straight line or cut a straight line, I'm scared to even try this - lol!
ReplyDeleteJeanine
You make it look so simple. Love those knobs.
ReplyDeletePatti I love these! Thanks for showing us. Can't believe you used a Sharpie...I love that because that would be so much easier to control. These look like they came from MacKenzie Childs catalog!
ReplyDeletehow does it wear? Do you put these on cupboards that you use all the time. I just love the look.
ReplyDeleteDarn what a cool idea and I already have the white knobs. luvvv my sharpie pens. Thanks for the inspiration. Especially like the gold detail ;D.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to stop by and see what Allison, (Our Queen of antique shopping) found!

those look storebought! awesome job and not too difficult (aka i can do it, too!).
ReplyDeleteTrying this for sure. Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy for black and white and these knobs are just too adorable...great job and thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI am here from Motivate Me Monday...What a simple way to make something so cool! I love them!

you know i love these. To bad we were not neighbors, we could paint checks allover the neighborhood! lol. mishelle
ReplyDeleteWhat great information - thank you for sharing your secrets! Now I want to go buy some knobs - haha! I appreciate your comments on my blog, Scene of the Grime, and I wanted to let you know I just posted about how to organize and size blog party buttons today. I think you asked me about that.
ReplyDeleteHere's the link, hope it helps:

Hope you have a great week! Following you now!
What a great idea - they turned out very nice. Thanks for stopping by Atticmag and for your nice comment.
ReplyDeleteAllison
What a great idea, you must have a steady hand.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,
Hugs,

Thanks for sharing this. I was wondering the same thing myself. Be blessed .Cindy
ReplyDeleteWow so creative! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, very creative! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteReally cool idea. I wonder if I could get my lines that straight? :)

These are adorable! Do you seal them with anything? ~Marcy
ReplyDeleteI am amazed. I was drooling over a similar checked knob at Anthropologie that was an insane amount of money for a drawer pull letmetellyou! Yours are cuter anyway.
ReplyDeleteSmart girl. I have found a lot of black and white knobs at Hobby Lobby that are reasonable but I work with painted furniture and I would like to have other colors sometimes. This method should work for me. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeletePamela
This is a great idea and so economical too. I like both of those!
