Make stylish yet inexpensive curtain rods

Step 5 Drill a couple holes

Drill a hole through each dowel rod stub. The hole size should match the screw that goes into your cabinet knob. Try to drill the hole exactly in the center of the stub and as vertical as possible. It helps to use a drill press but you can do it with a hand drill too.

Once you have the hole drilled you should be able to insert the cabinet knob screw and attach the cabinet knob to the stub.
