Do you like the decorative knobs that are in all the stores these days? They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. I found some ceramic knobs that I really liked and attached them to the top lids of my Deflecto storage bins. The bins on the carousel can be used for many different things. Easter is this month, so I used this carousel for Easter candies and eggs.
If you decide to add some knobs to your storage you will need a few things to start:
1. Drill with a drill bit to match the size of the screw on your acrylic knob
2. Nut and washers to tighten the knob to the bin
3. Screwdriver to tighten the screw
4. A thick book or magazine (I used an old phone book) to drill on
5. 6 decorative knobs with screws (I chose ceramic knobs)
Directions:
1. Mark the spot on one lid for knob placement. Place the lid on top of the thick book. It might help to have someone help to hold the lid steady for drilling. Choose the drill bit that matches the size of the screw on the knob. Drill the hole. Repeat for each of the lids that you will be attaching the knobs to.
2. Attach a knob to one lid. Tighten the fit using nut and washers. Check the size of the screw to make sure it is the right size. Repeat for each lid.
3. Fill the bins; replace the lids and enjoy!

I have this carousel storage spinner which I use in my kitchen for condiments and other spices. I do not even need to label each individual container as it is very easy to spot every content from the outside. It saves time as I just need to spin to get the correct spice instead of having to retrieve every single one all at once.
