I used twine in this example, but if I were going to use it on a drawer, I would use Jute Rope; it looks a lot better.
Use a nut before you tie the knots; it will keep the knot from pulling through the hole. Then apply some hot glue so it doesn’t unravel.
No need to prime this, just spray the Rust-oleum Multi-Color texture spray paint on the Hitch Ring.
Gilt Cream is my go-to product when I want to give my detail a little pop of color. I use the Gilders Paste wax on all my hardware pieces that need a change of color. I also use both of these products on picture frames and furniture. (Check out how I used gilt cream to update these sconces and frames in this previous blog post here.)
An eye hook and an old lock are all you need for this creative drawer pull. If you don’t have one at home, I’ve seen the locks in the Dollar Tree.
One long screw, 6 nuts, and two eye hooks are all you need for this industrial door pull. The other two nuts are used on the inside to hold it on the drawer.
Invest in quality furniture hardware for lasting transformations.
A couple of chip brushes and some leftover paint make a great drawer pull for the artist studio or art classroom at school. This could be a great project for students in an art class.
If all you want to do is change the color, the fastest and simplest thing to do is spray paint it. I put these pulls in a foam block and sprayed them with this spray paint.
These plastic dinosaurs make a fun drawer pull for a child’s dresser. I bought these at Dollar Tree. Go through the toy section and see what else they might have that could work as a drawer pull.
I like painting old dressers and using them for storage in my garage and studio. Using a valve wheel adds interest to my project and makes the room a fun place to work.
I forgot to add this in my videos. If you’re a seamstress or just like to sew, a spool of thread and a screw are all you need for a cute drawer pull.
