Door Knob Bookshelf Legs

I love doing simple home decor projects.  I just bought a cheap bookshelf from a consignment store near my home.  I got the idea to prop the shelf up with door knobs when I was working on my transparent clutch - I saw all these beautiful door knobs at Anthropologie and decided to get some extras for bookshelf legs.

Adding door knobs as legs to my bookshelf was so simple. It took less than 10 minutes and looks super chic. 

An unexpected bonus to adding door knobs as legs was it stopped the bookshelf from wobbling!

Step 1 Materials

Bookshelf  - make sure its not too heavy and the door knobs can support it.

Door Knobs - I bought 3 ceramic from Anthropologie for a corner bookshelf, if you are using a standard bookshelf use 4 door knobs.  Also, make sure the door knobs don't come to a point at the tip of the door knob because that will scuff your floor.

Hand Drill and drill bit - the drill bit should be the same size as the bolt on your door knobs

Would it make it easier to move, as in, do they work as glides? If so, I've got a cabinet to do this to.

Yes! It was actually much easier to move after adding the legs. I guess it also depends on the size of your cabinet.
