And then I made it the width of the smallest drawer.

I grabbed a piece of cardboard from a large Amazon box (because I’m an Amazon Prime junkie) and cut it down to the height of the front of the drawers. Place the 1×2 stock on its edge on the saw and cut a piece approximately 8 inches long. Sharp object like an awl, a pointed pen or sharp pencil Set the miter saw to 45 degrees and lock it in place.Cabinet hardware (I love these cup pulls.).Thin piece of wood, cardboard or paper for the template.I knew I’d be changing them out, so I went ahead and puttied the old hardware holes when I painted the cabinets white. I liked them and didn’t feel the need to spend extra money on them.īut I’ve loved and wanted cup pulls on the drawers for forever, so I ordered these 3″ cup pulls. Sure, I could have changed them out, but they were fine.

I kept the original knobs on the doors, so those were easy to reinstall.
#DIY 3 INCH CABINET PULLS FULL#
It inspired me to take the bull by the horns and get ‘er done (as they say around here)! Read her post to get the full tutorial, but I’ll show you what I did, too.īefore we dive into the semi-tutorial. That was until I saw my friend Krista’s post. I was kind of nervous about messing them up and having wonky cabinet pulls in my kitchen. When marking the knob placement for upper cabinets, our DIY experts suggest measuring two to three inches starting from the bottom corner of the cabinet door. I had them sitting right there on the counter, but I just wasn’t quite ready to tackle the installation part. You know, the ones I’ve been using for the past 8 months without drawer pulls.Īnd it wasn’t like I didn’t have the hardware or the tools… In the meantime, while I’m waiting for the next project, I thought I’d finish off those cabinets.

I still have a few more updates to make, like the sink and counter tops, before I’m finished, but I’m waiting on some room in the budget for those. I made some DIY farmhouse shelves, added reclaimed wood to the bar and painted the walls Sea Salt. Since then I’ve done quite a few DIY projects in here.
