Leather Handles

Have you ever been looking for a stylish storage solution and just can’t seem to find what you’re looking for? That’s exactly what happened to me! I was recently looking for stylish storage bins to sit in my cupboards and linen closet. I wanted them to be practical, but also to look pretty when my closets were left open. I love the texture that leather adds, so I decided to add some DIY leather handles to my own bins and save some money at the same time!
