Got a broken drawer or cabinet handle?
Want to add a natural, vintage charm to your furniture?
No need to rush to the hardware store!
This simple, budget-friendly trick uses a cork to replace it—and it's on trend too. Here's how:
1. Thread a long screw through the hole in the old handle.
2. Screw the cork onto the screw.
Note: For a secure fit, apply a dot of glue to the cork's base before screwing it on. Press firmly for a few seconds to set.
Voilà—your drawer now has a fresh vintage handle! :-)
Opt for a champagne cork or wine bottle stopper, depending on the grip you prefer. Champagne corks provide the best hold.
For a polished look, update all handles on the cabinet or furniture piece.
If it's not your permanent style, it serves as a handy interim solution while you shop.
