D. Lawless Hardware carries an amazing selection of clear
glass drawer knobs. If clear knobs don’t suit the “theme” of your project, why
not consider painting them? There are so many new and fabulous products on the
market for spray painting glass that I thought I would change the look of a few
of these clear beauties for a shelf project!
Some of the new spray paints for glass include Frosted
Glass, Sea Glass and Stained Glass spray paints by Krylon, and Milk Glass spray
paint by Valspar. For this project, I’m using Stained Glass spray paint by
Krylon in Cobalt Blue (I will be using the other spray paints in future
projects!).
The Stained Glass spray paint comes in a wide variety of
colors and the thing I liked most about the Cobalt Blue is that the color is so
vivid when the paint dries! It is virtually impossible to mess it up, too!
To begin, wash the glass knobs with mild dishwashing liquid
and dry them thoroughly. This makes sure the glass is free of oils from hands
as well as any other dirt, dust and debris!
Once the knobs are dry, spray a light coat of the paint on
all areas of the knobs. Generally, only one coat is needed but additional coats
can be added to deepen the color a bit. (Make sure to pay attention to the instructions
on the can for recoat times!) The paint may look a little opaque when it is wet
but will become clearer as it dries.
I like to let the paint cure at least overnight before
adding it to my project. I used these knobs on a wall mounted shelf I built and
I love how the color pops against the grey and white!

so here's what I've come up with! I already had that fabric too, so maybe a tree skirt will be in the making. Mobile Bumper Repairs Sydney
