~ homemade: drawer pulls part I ~

Happy Thursday my dears!  Thanks for letting me off the hook last week...and for doing so I have some great homemade drawer pull ideas for you.  Let me just say that I got a little carried away with this one.  And because I did, there will be multiple posts!

***Disclaimer...I need to explain that, for the most part, the styling in these pictures are things from around my house.  So some of the styles aren't exactly how I would do them at a REAL event, but I wanted to try and give you some ideas visually...and to be honest, pictures of drawer pulls by themselves aren't really exciting.  Oh how I would love to have lots of extra money to really do these homemade posts up for you, but since I only allow myself a small budget...this will just have to do! 

Okay, now that I have said that - let's get on with it!  First up is a woodland rustic tabletop with the drawer pulls used as menu cards...

And that white paper balled thingy is a mushroom I made.  They look ADORABLE in person...the pictures just don't do them justice!  On the pull I just used a brown Sharpie to write menu on it.  I then hole punched some paper, stuck the back ends of the pull through and attached screws to put it on a slant.  Cute, no?  Here is some more homemade goodness...

And if that's not enough for you - here's a little more...

I ADORE maidenhair ferns (they are my favorite fern)...which is the type of fern I used above.  The wood chips are the kind used for grilling (so they smelled good!), as bark and mulch were just to big in porportion, I decided to use the wood chips instead.  The mushrooms are actually just a piece of balled up packing paper with another piece of paper on top which I just twisted and scrunched to get the look.  To get the mushrooms to stand and angle I used floral wire.  I wish I could take credit for the creative thinking behind these...but I saw them in Anthropologie a week ago and fell in love!  In person, I think mine actually look cuter than the ones I saw in the store.  I'm not sure what type of paper they used, but it was very similar.  Other than that...I just added some cute details that I found around the house!  So what do you think?  Would you use these kind of pulls?  Well if not there's more ideas coming in the next post, so be sure to check back soon!
