Make your own Drawer Pulls & Knobs
(VIDEO + 22 Tutorials) — When you DIY, hand-crafted furniture fittings — especially knobs
and pulls repurposed from found objects— are not only a fun, cost-effective
solution to missing or broken hardware, they're also a wonderful way to customize
your furniture.
I briefly touched on the idea of repurposed drawer pulls in a previous post featuring an ingenious solution to missing drawer pulls. In today's video I share some amazing ways you can use repurposed drawer pulls and knobs to add a little character, upcycle, re-style or repurpose any piece of furniture.

In today's video I share some amazing ways you can use repurposed drawer pulls and knobs to add a little character, upcycle, re-style or repurpose any piece of furniture.
All of the repurposed drawer pulls and knobs in the video are made from
items you could easily pick up at a garage sale for pennies on the
dollar.
Warning! Repurposing garage sale items into cool knobs and pulls is addictive!
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed creating it!
