Once you have done at least a couple of coats and are pleased with how they look, you can move on to the next step.This way, you are able to do a 360 paint job, without having to roll them around or make a huge mess. The fastest/easiest way to do this is find yourself a nice box (head to the porch for an Amazon treasure and use that:)) and push the screws halfway into the box. spray painted all of the screws so that they looked more decorative, rather than industrial.
I initially tried this with a power drill, but the leather would shift just a little bit as the drill would spin and didn’t give me the clean results I got with the leather punch, so if that’s something available to you, I would absolutely recommend going that route.
Once the pulls were all cut-to-size, I used the leather punch to put holes in them that would accommodate the screws that would hold them in place.On the cabinet doors, I decided to make small loops instead of horizontal pulls to add some visual interest to the cabinets while also making them more functional overall. I then proceeded to use the straight edge razor blade to cut all of the pulls. I held the leather strap against the drawers and found a length that felt comfortable and looked balanced against my cabinets. First, to create either handles or pulls (I did both), you will need to decide on the length you want the pulls to be.For any questions, head over there to check out the video! On my instagram page I have a video showing the entire project from start to finish. Leather punch (You can use a drill, but I tried both and the punch is significantly easier).Spray Paint (This is to give the screws your desired finish, I used oil-rubbed bronze from Home Depot for $6).Screws (size depends on the width of your strap, I purchased mine from Home Depot for $3.90).Leather Strap (I bought mine on Amazon for $17.99).Here’s what you’ll need to create your own: Supplies to Create Leather Pulls Not only is this project incredibly simple and straight forward, but it is so dang cost effective it’s ridiculous! When all was said and done, I spent less than $30 and made 11 pulls! You also get to create a look that is unique to you and your style because of the many color and width options you have when it comes to leather straps. After perusing Pinterest, I discovered leather pulls and knew in an instant that was the direction I wanted to go. I went ahead and painted the cabinets white but I knew I wanted to add some sort of pull to them, but once I saw how much even basic ones cost, I was sent back to the drawing board. I was already tired of our VERY 90’s cabinets with no pulls, so once the nail polish hit, there was no turning back. I’ll link it right here! Why We Chose Leather Cabinet PullsĪs most projects do, this one was born of children painting cabinets with fingernail polish. In this space the blown glass pendants and wooden tray on the island make you think of pieces you could have found and re-purposed.We posted a recent tutorial for a herringbone accent wall that would go perfectly with these darling cabinet pulls. When you think of an old farmhouse you also tend to think of "found objects". It is also a nice departure from the more common stainless steel sink options. The name of the sink pretty much says it all but it is another way to keep things simple while adding a cozy and more authentic piece to the puzzle. These subtle elements provide just enough detail to make the space original while sticking to a clean architectural feel and the reclaimed wood feel of the table adds another texture to the space.Īnother element that is quite common place is the farmhouse sink. A nod to the design element is the trestle table shown in the eat in area of this kitchen. One design element you see quite often in the modern farmhouse is the "X" or barn door molding on doors, or in the cabinetry above you see it on the end of the island and as the mullion on the upper glass doors.
