Here you can see the two shorter pieces and one longer piece for a long drawer pull.

I like sketching this all out on scrap paper with counts and measurements before cutting my pieces.

Or you can make small wooden drawer pulls with two short pieces for one hole as pictured in image 12. If you want long drawer pulls to fit existing holes then you need a long piece in the center and short pieces on the outside. This obviously depends on your specific needs. Time to cut the dowel rods to the desired lengths.When the primer has dried add two coats of your desired color.

Use the spray primer to give the copper plumbing tees a good coat of spray primer.Use fine-grit sandpaper to rough up the metal before priming.(I'm assuing that THESE 5/8' acrylic rods will work just the same) TIP: You could also use acrylic rods for this project and make elegant aryclic drawer pulls the same way I made these wooden drawer pulls. wood screws (The length depends on the depth of your drawers or doors, so make sure to measure!).washers (The more important washers are the 1/4″ flat washers for the inside of the tees and the others I use with the screws when attaching the hardware.metal spray primer and spray paint (if you want to change the copper look).glue (something like liquid nails or gorilla glue).

Materials used to make the wooden drawer pulls These are not solid wooden handles because I really wanted some metal accents as well to go with my existing kitchen knobs. This post may contain affiliate links from which I will earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
