A cute young artist I know, wanted to make some hardware for her dresser. We had a hard time deciding on which of her talents she wanted to use to create her DIY knobs. We finally decided she could show her painting talents. She chose a couple of flower stencils, and we purchased some small canvases found at Michael’s Craft Store. We positioned the stencils a little off center, and We also bent the stencil around the edge so that the design extended on the sides, which really gave it more dimension. Using a paint brush with short stiff bristles, she dobbed on the paint in one area at a time, and let the paint dry in between colors. When it was dry, she used a black felt pen to outline the petals, which really made it pop. My young artist is very pleased with her DIY knobs and is already talking about making more and changing the design, which will be easy with Cameleon Hardware, withe interchangeable design.
Hardware isn’t hardware anymore, its art.
