The creative home project is quite easy to do after purchasing the required materials - the ice cube tray, resin and $2.19 fingerpost knobs from Bunnings Warehouse.
Teleasha estimated the cost per handle to be around $3 each, which is very cheap compared to alternative store-bought handles.
Once the resin is left to dry, they remove easily from the silicone trays and can be spray painted.
Teleasha painted the handles gold to match her blush pink decor and white walls, but the handles are rather small.
