What do you do when you have approximately $10 to spend on replacing outdated drawer pulls?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.

Love Your Guts, Mandi
Mandi, you are amazing! So creative! I love this idea.
This was seriously my favorite part, I loved the whole room, but these are just awesome! Thanks for sharing!
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!
These are so fun an unexpected. What a great idea!

Can’t get over how much I love these! And the white light fixture update!
I loved this detail in the room makeover!
So creative! I love the secret pop of color 🙂
I love your brain Mandi! This is one of those “why didn’t I think of it?!” ideas. You’re a pretty genius and it’s not fair. 😉
Mandi these are awesome! Great project and inexpensive way to make handles!
Love the “any color” part of it too!

What a great little project… I think this would be perfect for a teen room!
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.
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!
The hidden *pop* of color is genius!
I do love this! I’m thinking of using it for another project I’ll do with a whole belt! 🙂

LOVE LOVE… Some days you completely out do yourself and today was one of those days! LOVE LOVE – I am definitely using this idea!!!
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?
Love these! The pop of pink inside makes my heart skip a beat. 🙂
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 😉
How clever! Thanks for the heads up on the wear & tear. I will have to try on drawers that are not used daily.
Those are both clever and gorgeous! Love the mixture of soft/hard.
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.
