Pull it Together: How to Make Leather Cabinet Pulls
DIY leather drawer pulls are such a cool, piece of cake swap for regular cabinet pulls.
I dearest DIY drawer pulls and cabinet pulls considering they are one of the easiest abode projects yous can exercise. They're affordable and great for DIYers of all skill level.
I fabricated a whole bunch of them when I was doing some updates to my studio kitchen. Recall when I resurfaced laminate countertops and created a assuming DIY backsplash?Then, I thought I would share the tutorial today.
I love this idea for renters because it's such an piece of cake and affordable upgrade for basic builder grade cabinets and they've held up actually well too. It's been about 6 months since I installed them and they're notwithstanding going strong and basically look exactly the same.
Click through to learn how to make leather cabinet pulls in simply a few minutes.
Materials for Leather Drawer Pulls
- canvass of leather (mine is from Amazon)
- circular head brass screws (I used #8-32 thread / 1.25 inch – you'll need 2 screws per handle)
- motorcar screw basics in brass (I used #8-32 thread / .25 inch and y'all'll need 2 nuts per handle)
- rotary cutter
- leather pigsty punch
- directly border or ruler
Are DIY drawer pulls upkeep friendly?
Yeah! Assuming you have the other supplies already (hole punch, rotary cutter, and direct border), the cost of these cabinet pulls is super reasonable.
One $20 canvass of leather will make 18-20 cabinet pulls that are 5 inches long and 3/4 inch broad. And then with the price of the screws and bolts (which are roughly 75 cents per set), you're still at less than $2 per cabinet pull.
Average cost of a pre-fabricated leather cabinet pull is anywhere from $eight-25 per pull, so this DIY option is style, way cheaper!
How to Brand Leather Drawer Pulls
1. If you're working with a big canvas of leather, similar I did, you'll but need a straight edge and a rotary cutter to cut down strips that will work for the handles.
I found that a proficient measurement for the leather strips (when y'all're using standard cabinets) is iii/4 inch wide and 5 inches long. You can tweak this measurement to your liking of course, but that's what worked for me.
Sorry I don't have a photo of this step. I ended up (accidentally) deleting all the photos the first time effectually and I had to redo what I could. Just I had already used all the leather for making the pulls, so I couldn't reshoot that part.
2. Side by side punch a hole in each of the ii ends of the leather strips you made in step #one.
I found that almost 1/2 inch in from the edge is a good place for each hole (and of course, brand certain information technology's centered).
*Brand sure the hole you create is large enough for the screw to snuggly fit into, but not and then large that the head would go all the fashion through the pigsty.
three. Then just add the screws and thread those through the chiffonier holes. To secure the screws, add the bolts to the back of each screw and tighten every bit much every bit you can. That's it! Super easy, right?
You may discover that you'll occasionally want to retighten the bolts every and then frequently if they started to loosen up with apply.
I tighten mine as needed once or month or something like that. No biggie – only takes a minute to get through the unabridged kitchen.
