I used four pieces of Art Minds Genuine Leather from Michaels and two packages each of screws, washers, and bolts from Home Depot and I made eight drawer pulls. Wow! That’s a lot less than the $240 I would have spent on actual hardware. These leather strap drawer pulls cost me about $25 to make. I learned to tighten my bolts on the back of the screws as hard as I could to help the straps stay in place when you use them. Tighten the bolts and put the drawer faces back on the cabinet. The washer is on the front of the strap and just gives a little reinforcement to the hole in the leather.

Since I knew the thickness of my drawer face, I was able to choose a length that would allow me a little bit of room for the thickness of the leather. My bolts are #8-32 and my washers are #8S. My screws are machine screws #8-32 x 1 inch. Then I bought screws, washers, and bolts. I fit it into their display to figure out what size screw it was. I measured the thickness of the drawer facing and took my old screw to Home Depot.
Once I had my holes, I attached the straps to the drawer face with screws, washers, and bolts I bought at Home Depot.

Then I pushed a small screw driver through the hole to open it up. It was basically just a small hole to get started. I was careful not to make my hole too large. One inch from either end I poked a hole with my exacto knife by making a small x. I was able to make three straps to each piece of leather I had. Next I cut my piece of leather in 1 inch x 7 inch strips.
I just cut the end off so I would have square corners. Average cost of a pre-made leather cabinet pull is anywhere from 8-25 per pull, so this DIY option is way, way. And then with the cost of the screws and bolts (which are roughly 75 cents per set), you’re still at less than 2 per cabinet pull. Since the leather was curved at the corners, my first cut was small. One 20 sheet of leather will make 18-20 cabinet pulls that are 5 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. I used my cutting mat and my metal yardstick to cut straight.
