I second the curtain-rod or newel-post finial suggestion. If you find the right shape out there, it's often easy to refinish/paint/glam up in various ways.
Failing that, check the exotic hardware section of a good hardware store (or your local Home Despot/Lowes); it's often a drawer right next to the not-exotic nuts/bolts/screws drawers. It ought to have these critters which are basically screws, but both ends are male, & they come in various sizes. They aren't free (usually around $.50 per), but also aren't hideously expensive.
Even with that, some form of epoxy is a good supplement, particularly if it's going to be subjected to a lot of shear.
