They no longer just have a useful purpose, but are also intended to decorate the cupboard or chest of drawers. However, you can also decorate many other things with these useful decorative objects. We would like to show you what other interesting purposes you can use cabinet handles for. Create original decorations without much effort and spice up your interior!
Handles for cupboards as useful helpers in the hallway
Hooks for keys are always a useful thing in the hallway. So you can design such a board that is not just for hanging keys. Long cabinet handles can also be used to hold mail. The newspaper can also be temporarily stored in this way. Modern stainless steel handles were used here.
as a coat hook
If the classic coat hooks for the wall are too boring for you, then simply look for original handles for cupboards. Antique drawer handles or knobs will be a special eye-catcher. You can match the buttons to the color of the wall, as here, so that they are hardly noticeable or, on the contrary, create pretty accents on the wall.

Using a simple wooden board and two dresser handles, you can create an original tray to impress guests or use as a gift. You can choose the size of the tray yourself. Fix the long cabinet handles on the two shorter sides of the tray and you're done. Choose cabinet handles that are antique or modern as you like.

A bedside cabinet like this is really great as a bathroom cabinet, don't you think? The disadvantage is that it sits directly on the floor and the moisture in the bathroom could quickly ruin it. However, you can use cabinet handles to lift it, as was done in this example with an Ikea cabinet.
Stow yarnandflaunt
You can use the bright colors of yarn wonderfully to create an original decoration. At the same time, you also get a way to store your yarn. So if you feel like making something yourself, you can use the following instructions to make stands for yarn using cupboard handles.
Materialsto do it yourself
If you like to sew often, then you will probably already have enough spools of thread at home. If not, you can get some specifically for this project. You will also need a candlestick for table candles, a wooden stick with the diameter for the candle or slightly smaller, as well as round handles for cupboards or buttons. The best way to fix the wooden stick is to use small magnets.
Decorationcraft
First you have to glue one of the magnets to the wooden stick and the other to the candle holder. This way you can be sure that the wooden stick will not fall on the stand. When sticking the magnets in place, be sure to use the right sides, i.e. the ones that attract each other. Once you have placed the wooden stick in the stand, you can put the spindle on it.

Then fix the button on the wooden stick. Now when you want to use the yarn, simply separate the two magnets from each other. You are welcome to make several of these decorations at once and create a colorful sewing corner in the room that has a decorative effect. The cabinet handles can also differ from each other.
