DIY Quartz Drawer Pulls

Do It Yourself Crystal Drawer Pulls

I literally posted the sneak peek to this project months ago on Instagram and I found myself wound up in other things. This past weekend I geared up and got to work finishing these crystal drawer pulls up. Last year I turned a basic IKEA Rast dresser into a West Elm Stria nightstand knock off for one of the linking rounds of Creating With The Stars. I wanted to add a bit of femininity to them and conjured up these rose quartz drawer pulls. They’re so pretty and the rose quartz is touted for having love related benefits. So what better room to use them in than the bedroom, amiright? Let’s jump into how you can create your own:

Supplies:

*Crystal Allies Materials: 1lb Bulk Rough Pink Rose Quartz Crystals
*E6000®
*Flat Cap Nuts
*1/4-20 x 1.18 Joint Connector Bolt
(make sure your connector bolts are long enough to go through the drawer and into the cap nut)
*Power Drill with *1/4 inch drill bit

How To Create:

Ensure the crystals are free of loose debris. Because we’re working with unfinished quartz, there can be a bit of dust and dirt. Once they are clean, dab a dollop of glue onto the cap nut and place the crystal onto the cap nut. Find a place to rest the quartz while the glue dries.

I worked out odd spaces all over my work space to place them. You don’t want the glue to drip down into the cap nut otherwise it won’t screw onto the connector bolt, so make sure they are cap side up.

Once the glue dries, it’s all about assembling. I had to drill holes into the face of my drawers, but if you’re simply replacing knobs, you’re set to put them in!

And the result is an earthy, boho, feminine touch. It especially pairs well with wood grain but would look lovely on a painted piece, too!

I put priority on this project because it’s for my bedroom, the room I’ve chosen to start and finish in 6 weeks for the One Room Challenge. Here’s how the dresser/nightstands have turned out, but the layout of the space is changing. So excuse my mess and don’t mind the tapestry, it won’t be distracting from the pretty nightstands with the new layout (though it will be staying).
