Make Designer Cabinet Pulls for $1.50 Each!
I had this plain-jane cabinet I picked up for super cheap! It served us really well, but it was kind of ugly . I knew I could totally rehab it for about $6 using a crazy inexpensive cabinet pull DIY. This was super easy to do, and my $1.50 pulls came out looking just like Restoration Hardware pulls that cost $25 or more!
For the actual pulls, I used rings that I found in the lock section of the hardware store - I think they're the kind used to hold key rings. Really, any type of strong metal ring will do. Just make sure that your fingers can comfortably fit inside your rings before committing to them.
To secure the rings to the cabinet, I used size galvanized wire rope clips. Because this pull hangs down, I put it about 1.5 inches above the middle, so that the center of the ring came to the center of the cabinet door.
Once the drawer pulls were in place, I decided that the drab veneer of the counter didn't quite go. Using silver contact paper, I covered the whole top, making it fit cleanly with an X-Acto knife.
