![]() Do you like the faux leather drawer handles? Leave me a comment below. You can take it a step furniture by stitching (with a sewing maching) a stitch line along the edge of the drawer straps, to make it look more tailored. Do you have an old sofa that you’re getting rid of? Save the leather for future DIYs, especially this one. You can even try this DIY with real leather. My new faux leather handles look great, and now I can actually open up my drawers, LOL. For the handle style straps, you simple screw each side of the strap into each hole. For the pull style you want to first screw the strap right-side-down in the bottom hole, then flip the strap and screw the other side into the top hole. I used brass hardware and copper faux leather fabric.įirst, cut your faux leather down to size. (I cut mine at 1.5″ deep x 8″ for the handle style and 1.5″ deep x 6″ for the pull style.) Then, make small holes at each side of the straps that you’ve cut out, 1/2″ away from the edge. (It is important to make sure you drill small holes with appropriate-sized drill bits so the head of the screw can't slip through the holes when attached to your piece of furniture)What you’ll need is faux leather fabric (about 1/4 yd at most), machine screws and nuts (you can use the ones that were attached to your old handles), scissors, and a screw driver. It's a good idea to use a scrap piece of wood or the cutting mat under the leather while drilling so you don't damage any other surface.
