Use a LEGO Brick as a Door (Or Drawer) Knob

STEPS
TOOLS
Here you see all you need
There are two options: Mount the knob with or without a 5mm spacer washer. I'll show you the option with a spacer washer first (for the other option see step 14)
Here is what you need: A LEGO brick, a 30mm M5 screw and the spacer washer - mine comes from a leftover plug of a PAX shoe shelf
Remove the spacer washer from the plug
Use this (don't throw the rest away, maybe you need it for the next IKEAhack)
Put the screw in the back side of the door
Put the spacer washer on the screw on the other side in the door
Screw on the LEGO brick
And you're done
The spacer washer allows you to easily grip your new door knob
Of course you can also use other colors, like white...
...or red
You can also mount the brick directly to the door without a spacer washer
You need to put a normal washer between the door and the 25mm screw. Otherwise the screw would damage the LEGO brick
Screw on the brick
And once more - you're done
With this version, it is a little harder to grip the knob, but works just as good
You can also use smaller bricks...
... or larger ones
And this is how you add a LEGO brick as a door (or drawer) knob
