#LEATHER CABINET PULLS AND KNOBS HOW TO#
i will report back on how to properly do that. i’ve tried wood putty and spackle, but they’re not great yet. I made mine pretty long because of the ridiculous height of the wardrobe, but these would look pretty good shorter on some drawers.Īlso, if you’re working with a piece of furniture like mine, where there are TWO hardware holes, you may be able to kinda see that i have not yet successfully filled those holes. CABINET HARDWARE Cabinet knobs and cabinet pulls are available in a variety of styles and finishes to match your dcor and complement your personal taste.

stick them into the drawer or cabinet holes, and turn the nut on the backside until it’s tight and your strap is straight and perfect. Step three – make sure you can now fit your hardware through both holes of the leather.

Step two point five – drill holes if you don’t have them. in order to really get a large hole cut, i then went in with an exacto and cut a small square on both sides. punch the hole with the awl as deep as you can through both sides. Step two – once you have your leather pieces uniformly cut, fold one and pick a place for the screw. Start cutting with a razor and ruler or do it the easy, less exact way, with scissors. Step one – decide on the size you’re going with and loosely measure them out with your leather. * make sure they’re the matching size! (8-32) * i used machine flat head brass screws (8-32 x 1 1/4″) * i got a page cut out from the fun leather book at the shoe repair shop the original was done with roofing nails, but i was going through existing holes and wanted it to be safe for my hands on the back, so i went with screws and nuts. hopes.Įach pull i made was about an inch thick. it’s not as pretty as the pax wardrobe, but it’s cheaper, and i thought with the right handles, it’d look just as good. I have a TON of stuff i need stored, so we got this for the office.

why is it called that? it comes with awful, cheap plastic handles. The first time i laid eyes on them, i was like oh shit where will i be putting these?īehold this behemoth piece of furniture for $129 at ikea. the original leather cabinet pull was by horton rower. If you’re on pinterest, you may have seen these things before.
