When you live in a small space, cipher beats the joy of vertical storage! I'one thousand always finding wall space to hang things on, but typically am non fan of hooks mounted on a backboard. So I thought I would make some hooks that mount direct to the wall—no backboard required!

This project is very simple. It's easy to transform drawer knobs to useful wall hooks past changing out the screws and utilizing drywall anchors. They're beautiful, streamlined, and totally practical.

Tools:
-power drill
-hammer (not pictured)
-pliers

Materials:
-drawer knobs (I used these large and these smaller wooden ones.)
–#x 2″ hanger bolts—this size worked for my knobs, but you will desire to verify by comparing the screws that come with your knobs to the hanger bolt diameter.
–12-14-16 ribbed plastic anchors (The i shown to a higher place is the incorrect size. I used the ones I linked to.)
-primer and pigment (optional)
-masking record (optional)

Pace One: Use pliers or locking vice grips to screw hanger bolts into the holes of your drawer knobs, making sure you accept the correct size hanger bolts for a very tight fit. These hanger bolts worked for my drawer knobs, but if they're likewise loose for yours, you can detect larger ones at the hardware shop. Also, if you're using wooden knobs, you can use a drill to make the hole a fleck bigger to adjust larger hanger bolts. Just be certain you have drywall anchors that will fit the larger hanger bolts.

Note: Be certain to but grip the not-threaded part of your hanger bolt with the pliers or you will strip the spiral. If you don't have a not-threaded role on your hanger bolts, then y'all can twist two nuts together onto the threaded part and grip the nuts to twist the hanger bolts into place.

Pace 2: If you aren't using pre-finished knobs, stain or prime and pigment your knobs the color of your option. I had considered staining these beautiful wooden knobs, but in the end I decided on a sleeker, more streamlined look that matched the trim and wall colour of my room.

Step Three: Arrange your knobs according to your liking on the wall. I attached the front of mine to the wall using masking tape, just to get a feel for how they would look before committing to their placement. Then, drill a hole ever so slightly smaller than the diameter of your drywall anchors. My drywall anchors suggested using a 5/16 drill bit.

Step Four: Use a hammer to tap the drywall anchors into the holes. If an anchor begins to crush rather than sink into place, your hole is as well small. Drill it ane step larger and effort once again.

Pace 5: Screw the knobs into the wall anchors. Because of the drywall anchors, your knobs will be very secure and volition hold up to the weight of the items you'll well-nigh probable be hanging on them without pulling away from the drywall.

Just don't go crazy and start hanging 50 pound weights from these little guys.

The wooden knobs I chose have a broad enough front that they nicely conform thicker items similar jackets, multiple scarves, and purse straps.

It would be fun to do this project with multi-colored knobs or decorative antiquarian knobs besides! It's and so easy to customize to your personal style and home. –Mandi
