Leather Belt Dresser Pulls

By Mandi 09/04/2012

What do you do when you have approximately $10 to spend on replacing outdated drawer pulls? (Pssst… you get CREATIVE!) This is one of my favorite projects from Mandi’s Fall Facelift.

For this project all you need is a leather belt, hex screws, paint and a drill.

Start by painting the back side of your belt. I bought a sample/tester size (do this to save save save!!)  You will need at least 2 coats because the leather is going to absorb your first layer pretty fantastically.

When your paint is dry take a straight edge and mark where you need to cut your belt. Each of our straps were 5 inches long.

Use your drill to drill 2 holes into your straps and insert your Hex screw.

So simple and such a fun way to add a little bit of secret color to your furniture.

  1. This is so great! We have the old belt already, paint and a few hex screws… I think I have the perfect candidate for this project!

  2. the drawer pulls were a real stroke of inspiration! you don’t always have to go to anthropologie, where you pay more that $10 for one pull, to have something unique and pretty.

  3. I made leather drawer pulls for my craft cabinet, from Michaels, using an old leather wallet. But I really love how the pink looks- so clever! I must do this.

    nice job!

  4. Do you think they would be okay at 6″ long? They almost look a little short in the pictures. Would 6″ give more room to grab?

  5. I hate to break your plate but I had a dresser with leather drawer pulls several years ago and they won’t last very long. The leather wears out fairly quickly from repeated use. It’s cute though 😉

  6. These are sick! I just revamped a ikea TV unit using your idea! I used a light tan leather belt and the pop color was yellow.
