![]() I cleaned off any dust and also cleaned the connector caps. The first thing I did was find rocks that have a flat side and I sanded it down to remove any residue and have a better surface for the glue to grip. Whether you use the connector caps or barrel nuts, the steps are the same. I found these silver colored Barrel Nuts and bolt sets on (20 for about $5) – they work great as well but the only thing is that the bolts are a bit too short (20mm instead of 25 mm), so I bought longer bolts (I had to get metric because the barrel nuts are metric) to make them work. In most cases, 25mm (1”) long bolts should work well. The length of bolts you will need depends on the thickness of the drawer face. If you do this, you just want to make sure that the bolt and connector have the same thread size and to stick with either metric or imperial (mixing the two won’t work). ![]() You can get connector caps in different finishes, like the bronze ones in the picture and y ou can get bronze bolts to match but since you don’t see them, I went with regular ones to save some money. To turn the stones into knobs, all you need are these nifty things called connector caps (or barrel nuts) and bolts. ![]() So I experimented with a couple of different inexpensive ways to make my own, and turns out it’s pretty easy to do!įor these knobs, I ended up buying river stones from the dollar store – I live in LA and though there are beaches nearby, finding stones that are smooth and the right size proved to be too challenging!
