#RUSTIC DRAWER PULLS HOW TO#

Optional: You can clean the copper ( this nifty cleaning cream works awesome) and then spray the pulls with clear coat (2-3 times) to prevent future fingerprints and stop the oxidation process. IвЂ™ve found LoweвЂ™s to be one of the best places to find copper bell hangers, but most hardware stores should carry them. The bell hangers can generally be purchased by themselves for less than $2 each, or you can buy a pack of 10 for $10-15. This should give you more than enough for multiple pulls or future projects, but if that seems like way more than youвЂ™ll need you can also purchase a 5 foot pipe. I would purchase a 10 foot 1/2 inch copper pipe which will generally cost about $10. ItвЂ™s not threaded which is why youвЂ™ll need epoxy or super glue to attach the caps.

ItвЂ™s alsoВ lightweight and generally less expensive than other pipe options. IвЂ™ve used copper in the past because I love the rustic yet modern vibe it adds to a project. Tip: Use two bell hangers for any copper pipe pull over 8 inches.

While I previouslyВ mentioned how to make these copper pipe pulls in the dresser and nightstand posts, IВ love them so much I decided they needed their own post. We have 3 of them on our media cabinet, and another one on the rustic door we built for our bathroom closet. You mayВ have caught a glimpse of the pulls in one of our RV tours. While I love copper, I knew black pulls would have better contrast against the wood and add more of a rustic vibe into the space. We were giving away the dresser and nightstands, so before we did I swapped out the pulls and spray painted them black. There I was, back on the hunt for the perfect rustic modern cabinet pulls for our media cabinet, when it hit me just to repurpose the ones I previously made. I later repainted some nightstands and made matching pulls to go on those as well.ДЇrom there my pipe projects and obsession continued and IВ even built my first desk (all by myself) using copper pipes.ДЇast forward to roughly a year ago when Eric and I were renovating our RV before hitting the road. The copper against the freshly painted navy dresser was perfect, and I was able to create all the drawer pulls for less than $30. IвЂ™d create my own drawer pulls using copper pipes!

I was picking up and putting down pipe fittings, ignoring the strange stares from down the aisle when the idea hit. This is back when my copper pipe obsession was in the beginning stages,В and I would spend a good chunk of time wandering around the plumbing sections of hardware stores. OnlyВ I was having trouble finding what I wanted, at a price I was willing to fork over.
