Aileen from At Home in Love recently guest posted on the other popular blog Sugar and Cloth about an adorable DIY project that can be done with not a huge amount of effort: doorknobs that look like animals!
With a few screws, doll heads and pain, one can make the perfect doorknobs for closets or dressers. You could even just screw these into the wall and use them for hangers. How lifelike the designs will look in comparison to the intended animal is completely dependent on the person behind the paintbrush - so be sure to practice on a piece of paper first. That being said, the designs laid out by At Home in Love are quite straightforward and minimalist, so non-artists shouldn't have too hard of a time.
