pop goes the drawer pull

March 19, 2012 By Linda 20 Comments

… or how to make some hand shredding hardware.  That’s what my nay sayer husband and son said when I told them my plans for my son’s dresser …

… you know, the dresser in my teen son’s room makeover that I revealed here.

And then when I posted about the dresser here I received quite a few questions about how I made those bottle cap drawer pulls.  The hand shredders, if you will …

So now I’ll show you what I did.  Be careful not to blink, though.  You might miss it.

And here they are on the dresser …

    I love deceptively easy stuff! Could have sworn you had been outside with a welder in sub-zero Chicago temps to do this…

    PS – By any chance did I happen to fix that no-reply blogger thing? I really want to be a “DO-reply” blogger when I grow up.
