Some old doorknobs and drawer pulls screwed into wood create distinctive hat racks, coat racks and tie racks. This simple addition to a room eliminates that store-bought, generic look. A neat idea is to hot glue items to cork drawer pulls. Here, a bottle cap and a salt shaker cover have been glued over and on to the cork. If the glue is very hot, the items should adhere nicely.
Cork is very cheap and is simply screwed into the wood, replacing the original drawer pulls.
A special drill bit can be drilled into these children's building blocks, enabling wood to fit inside each block to make a special drawer pull.
