Antique Knobs for Towel Hooks - HOW???

11 years ago

I love to use hooks for hanging towels - so much easier for

everyone. I just re-did a bathroom and have a bunch

of vintage, round doorknobs in black and white porcelain,and was going to mount them onto some wood for hooks. BUT they seem kind of fat and not very deep and towels tend to slide off easily...does anyone have these? Is there a trick to it?

Put a piece of something between the knob and wood to give it a place to "hook." ?
