How to Make Old Belt Dresser Handles

Out in the garage, under a big pile of foam I found my little shabby white dresser table I used years ago in our first house. With knobs missing and a disgusting coat of dirt, I welcomed the challenge to move it more towards industrial chic, rather than shabby chic. The only tools I needed were a hammer, flat head screwdriver, scissors and a leather punch from my local craft store. Shiny silvery bolts, nuts and two lavender belts from the thrift shop turned this tired little white dresser into a decked out, white and wonderful charmer. By the way--the oil paint I used on this little chest of drawers decades ago, held up remarkably well through moves, bumps, swipes and storage. Additionally, being the last remaining piece of a solid maple bedroom set, this is the kind of furniture you need to appreciate and keep forever.
