When I made these drawer knobs inspired by those bohemian style Anthropologie knobs, and texted a photo to my hubby, he called me from his trip: “They look amazing! But no one is going to be able to make them…”
What??? Then I realized because I was always drawing and painting, he thought I had PAINTED these dresser knobs! ( You know how long that would take to paint Anthropologie knobs? )
Well, these may look like hand painted ceramic drawer knobs, but the secret is- they are the easiest things to make, and there is no painting involved.
I will show you the technique on how to decoupage wood drawer knobs, and share all the designs I made here for free. You can download them to make your own set of “hand-painted” designer knobs for your home! ( Some of the helpful resources are affiliate links. Full disclosure here. )
Check out the 2 minute video tutorial below on DIY Anthropologie knobs, or skip to step by step instructions.
Materials and tools:
- Wood, metal or ceramic knobs. I used 2″ wooden ones with a gently curved surface like these , or 1.75″ ones like these, which are easier to decoupage.
- A non-toxic glue good for decoupage, such as good old Modpodge, or Martha Stewart Decoupage Formula , and a soft brush. The Martha Stewart Decoupage Formula is dishwasher safe after 28 days, which offers extra protection if the knobs are in high use areas in a kitchen.
- Office paper and an inkjet printer or laser printer. Most home printers are inkjet.
- A few thin sheets of plastic will make the process super easy. I used plastic food wrap .
Step 1: Print and cut drawer knob designs
Measure the knobs and create same size circular designs. You can download mine at the end. Sand the knobs slightly if they have a glossy coating on the surface.
Print the designs and cut out the circles.
Step 2: decoupage wood drawer knobs
Brush some Modpodge or glue on the surface of a knob. Place a circle with the design side facing down.
Carefully center the knob on the circle.
Lift the knob (now the paper circle should be sticking at the center) and brush Modpodge gently from the center outward onto the paper. Do this carefully so the paper disc does not shift on the knob.
Take a piece of plastic, wrap around the drawer knob as you press the paper and shape it along the curved surface of the knob.
Unwrap as soon as the paper is glued to the drawer knob.
Finish by sealing each knob with 1-2 coats of Modpodge or other sealers to protect the knobs from finger prints, etc. If you coat the knobs with Martha Stewart Decoupage Formula, it’s dishwasher safe after 28 days, which means- very durable!
Now you have some gorgeous drawer knobs, how about choosing cabinet paint colors? 25 Most Gorgeous Pain Color Palettes For Kitchen Cabinets.
Aren’t these drawer beautiful? They took less than 5 minute each to make!
Yes, Anthropologie knobs are irresistible. We are most likely to get some when we move into our new home. However, these DIY drawer knobs are so easy and fun to make, I am no longer itching to run to Anthropologie now.
Remember how much I love indigo from these DIY indigo fabrics and pillows?
This group below is inspired by blue and white Delft ceramics, the colorful ones by Mediterranean designs especially from Spain and Italy.
They would look gorgeous on reclaimed wood or painted wood.
The designs I made are for 2″ wooden ones with a gently curved surface like these , or 1.75″ ones like these, If you have different size knobs, just adjust the pdf to print at a smaller or larger percentage.
The printables are high resolution at 300dpi, which means you can enlarge them to 200% and they will still print out nicely!

Oh, these are so beautiful! I thought the same thing when I saw your photos, that they’d be so difficult and you must have painted them! This is such a lovely DIY 🙂
candy
Wow these knobs are so pretty and handmade is always the best.
Julie
I have a couple of dressers in desperate need of new knobs. These are perfect and something I think I could actually do! I’m slightly DIY challenged. They are beautiful!
Mary
These are gorgeous! I can’t believe you made them! I finally have a dresser that can utilize knobs and I can’t wait to go shopping for them!
Samantha
That is such a great idea! They look so beautiful and this is such an easy project to make! Now I want to go replace all the knobs in my kitchen!
Christina in FL
Oh Ananda, I thought they were hand painted also! 🙂 GREAT job and thank you so much for the graphics. Inspiration to replace some knobs which are very worn. 🙂
ananda
hi christina, thank you and enjoy!! =)
Andre'e
Hi there I am very excited about receiling the patterns. We have an old farm house in New Zealand and they are going to look amazing!
Patti Rogers
I just want one pattern so all the kitchen knobs match how how do I do this?
ananda
hi patti, you can copy and paste the design you want onto one sheet using a free editing tool like canva, gimp, or picmonkey. they are all easy, with free tutorials. 🙂
Marilyn Gray
Thank you for the designs…and the idea! Super wonderful idea!
ananda
thank you marilyn! =)
Angie
These turned out so pretty! I’m pinning this. My friend just bought a house and none of the knobs in her kitchen match… I mean not even in a fun boho mismatch way, just in a weird “why are some of these white, and why are some cream?” kind of way.
ananda
as soon as you said mismatch i was thinking Boho! haha! xo
Michelle
Brilliant!! One of my anthropologie knobs in the hallway just broke and now I need to replace all of them. Thank you for saving me big $$! So awesome!
Lis
I have been talking about decoupaging knobs for years and finally someone else has done them. I never would have thought to use plastic wrap so thanks so much for that info. Love your designs. Thanks for sharing.
ananda
thank you lis! this is my first time decoupaging knobs too! lots of fun!
DANI CC
We can’t believe how easy this looks and your results are so professional. Next time we need some knobs decorated we will revisit this post.
Gabi
First thing that came to my mind when seeing them was that you used a paper napkin to cover them. (I saw some awesome decorations made out of paper napkins) But this is much easier than using napkins, as they always break ti pieces during process because they are so thin.
I saw some ceramic knobs with similar design, but they did cost a fortune.
What if we would glue beautiful buttons or leaves on these wood knobs? Would they last?
Gabi
One more thing: I fell in love with your blog and your projects, as they are so inspiring. I wish you have enough time to create all you have in your mind and you want to create. Many thanks for your inspiring work from thousand miles away!
ananda
thank you gabi for your lovely wishes!! i did think about gluing buttons, that could be really cute! leaves might get too brittle and might be hard to work with though. just went to say hi on your blog, hope the comment went through! =)
Gabi
Thank you for commenting back 🙂
One more thought about buttons: I made them out of painted cork wines and the result was totally unexpected! Definitely, it was my favorite project till now!
Patty
I think this is just brilliant and so simple. Thank you so much for sharing.
ananda
thank you patty! =)
Kathy
Wow! I know, not very original but it’s all I can think…Wow!

Very Creative! I really love good design
Kyla Matton Osborne (#RubyWriter)
These knobs are just amazing! And such a frugal way to get such a gorgeous effect! I have a desk that needs a makeover when my oldest gets home from her summer job in August. I think we’ll have to include some of these really cool knobs in our design!
debbie Parrish
thank you, these are so pretty, can’t wait to make some!
Donna
I read through all the comments hoping someone else would have asked this dumb question, but it looks like it’s up to me. 🙁 “Do you know how well these stand up to prolonged use?” 🙂
ananda
good question! i will add this to the post: if you coat them with Martha’s decoupage (link is in post) it’s dishwasher safe after letting cure for 28 days, which means- very durable! =)
Louise
BUT… don’t test them by putting them in the dishwater! They are made of wood, after all.
Dionne
Hello i love these doorknobs☺ but the link for the designs to download
doesnt seen to be working?
ananda
it’s the yellow download button that after filling out your email, a pdf will be emailed to you! =)
Stephanie
I hit the button and my email never came. Please send them on ahead, they are the perfect solution to my boring kitchen!
ananda
hi! it can end up in junk. the knob designs have been downloaded 2000+ times.
Dori Thompson
Beautiful! I can’t wait to do this. I might paint the knobs a color where unfinished wood is showing. I found this amazing silver paint in a tiny jar from which would be amazing. Hey the link to the printable design is not showing up. Can you send me the link please? Thanks so much for a great idea!
ananda
it’s the yellow download button that after filling out your email, a pdf will be emailed to you! =)

Can you tell me the diameter of the paper circle? Thanks
Becky
Cant wait to give this a try! I wonder if scrapbook paper would work as well? They have lots of designs!!
ananda
definitely! great idea! =)
Debbie Fischer
Did you spray sealer coat on top of the decoupage ? I think that they would need this because mod podge is not waterproof. Overall though this is a great idea, I will be doing these to brighten up my kitchen. Thank you for sharing.
ananda
hi debbie, both mod podge and martha’s decoupage come in dishwasher safe choices, i used martha’s as a final coat =)
Beth

Holly Mixon
Will this work on stainless steel knobs? Thank you for sharing this lovely idea.
ananda
hi holly, i have seen decoupage on glass and metal, so it should work. i eould test it first on a spoon or a knob you already have, and see how durable it is. 🙂
Karen
I can’t find the yellow download link for the patterns. Awesome knobs!!

I just downloaded these and they are so beautiful. Thanks very much. I was wondering if you could help me though. I would like to make a few of the same design. Would I have to print up the page 8 times or is there another way to get 8 of one design? Thanks!
ananda
hi laura, gimp is a free tool that you can use to make collage sheet of knobs from the set. if you google “gimp collage” there are lots of video tutorials, very easy to learn! https://www.google.com/search?q=gimp+collage&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Verna
Thank you for this fabulous design. I’ve been looking for new knobs for my kitchen but these beautiful designs have transformed the existing ones. I painted them after sanding and stuck the paper disks on with the second coat. A couple of coats of varnish completed them. I’m so pleased with the finish.
Mary
Hi, I noticed you were able to download the button/knob files. I have tried several times to download using the yellow box that says “click here”. It brings up a box asking for my email info but when I click on download, the app freezes and never completes the link. Is there an alternate address I can download from?
ananda
hi mary, after entering your email, the download link should be emailed to your inbox(check junk folder!). if not, let me know! =)
Clare
I adore this …but having the same trouble. Read all the comments and tried everything. . Can’t download, and I don’t don’t want to be a nuisance. thank you . Clare xx

I recently purchased over 100 wooden knobs at a thrift store for about $8. Can’t wait to get started on them with these beautiful designs. I can now think of so many uses for those lovely knobs.
Thank you for sharing.

Super wonderful idea!

Delft is in the Netherlands. Lovely little town with gorgeous ceramic designs, but nowhere near Spain or Italy.
DEBBIE
Thank you so Much! I saw these months ago, and printed them. I used Chalk paint on an old nightstand that had the perfect knows for this. It looks awesomE. I used gloss decoupage medium and they truly look like porcelain ķnobs.
Sandy
Just what I need for a dresser I’m redoing since it has flat wooden knobs, thanks
Corinna
Absolutely beautiful knobs, the look hand painted! Love them.
The link for the pdf file leads back to your page and I am not receiving them in email. 🙁 I did check my junk folder, too.

ananda
hi amanda! have you checked spam and promotions folders?
Emily
Hi! These are so pretty! Wondering how much wrinkly/distorted the designs got on the edges (where the knobs curve)- I’m thinking about doing it using stickers with Beatrix Potter scenes for our baby’s nursery, and not sure if the curvature would be a problem. Would love to hear your thoughts!
Also, have they held up well with use over the last year?
Thank you!
ananda
hi emily! i think Beatrix Potter scenes would be fabulous! my knobs have a gentle curve on the surface so it was not an issue. they have held up super well! =)
Melody
How do I download the prints for the ceramic door knobs?

I want 60 knobs of the same pattern. It appears your template has protection against copying. I tried to copy and paste but the paste was a black square. Is it possible to send me a sheet af the 1 design. The knob on the lower right is my choice
ananda
hi! you should be able to do a screen capture and save it as jpeg. or use gimp(free) to make a collage!
Chelsea
Thank you for your answer. It worked like a charm
Siobhan
Hi, I’ve just put my completed knobs back on the dresser – they look great. Thank you for the design. They are so easy to do.

Debbi Spencer
I downloaded several mandala designs from the internet and used them to make the knobs on my bi-fold closet doors. First ones looked great until I tried to top them with Delta Triple Thick Glaze…which made the color run. So I scraped that one off and tried various things on paper before redoing the knob; Liquitex Matte Medium and Delta Gloss Varnish both made the colors run, but a spray of ModPodge seemed to be OK. Now I just have to try another sealer top coat product over that to see how to if it actually sealed the color before I reprint and repaste that knob and finish the rest. It may be that I will have to go to Staples and have my mandalas printed on the laser printer. I have had trouble with transfers from my inkjet printer before too. Either way, these are easy, beautiful and I can’t believe what a difference they make on the doors! I have a dresser with wooden knobs waiting to be done too! Fun to look for patterns and themes (seashells, anchors, flowers, faces, endless possibilities!!) to put on them! Thanks so much for the tutorial-it’s one of my all time favorites!
ananda
hi debbi! thank you so much for sharing! 🙂 modpodge works great for my inkjet prints. feel free to share photos and tag us on instagram or facebook! 🙂
Debi
I used this technique 26 years ago when we built our house and I wanted to make some custom light witch and electrical outlet covers. I found that using watercolor art paper, or any lightweight paper that has a “woven” like texture works much better than plain copy paper, it has “give” to it and actually stretches just a tiny bit when the Modge-Podge glue is applied to the surface of what ever project you are working on. My covers have lasted this long, and I don’t plan on ever changing them out, unless I make new ones with different designs some day, LOL
ananda
i love this idea Debi! will be trying it! thank you SO much for sharing!! =)
Lauren
What a great idea!! I did something similar with scrapbook paper and tiles to make coasters. Would you be able to seal them with an epoxy resin for a solid clear coating? I would be worried that the paper will curl eventually. Thanks!
ananda
hi lauren, these have held up great with just modpodge. i don’t think they need more sealer coatings unless your climate is really humid or if these are for outdoors =)
Konstantina

When I was a teenager in New Zealand, my mother hand-painted wooden drawer knobs like those for the dresser and wardrobe in my sister’s bedroom. She painted them white to match the furniture, then hand-painted a rose on each one. They looked wonderful. Now, thanks to you, I can do something like that even though I did not inherit my mother’s level of talent.
ananda
hi carey, thank you so much for sharing your sweet memories! your mother’s painted knobs sounds amazing! 💖

Just go online and find something you like, copy it into a photo or graphic program and cut out circles from it the size you need and print.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am redoing my kitchen with a southwest theme and was contemplating making knobs using polished colorful stone, but it was going to be VERY expensive. Instead, I printed out 50 different polished stone photos and cut out 2″ circles and used your technique on wood knobs. Finishing them up now and they look GREAT! Wish I could share a photo of them. Thanks again!
