The best places to buy metal label holders, cup pulls, vintage locker tags, and numbers to make an ordinary piece look extraordinary.
I've created many multi-drawer cabinets and unique pieces using metal label holders and pulls and often get asked where I purchase the hardware I use. It may surprise you that many of my project and crafting supplies come from "big box" stores and are affordable and readily available. If I'm in need of something more unique, I'll shop online or hit up local vintage shops and markets.
To make it easier for you to create your own unique projects, I've rounded up a list of my favorite sources to buy metal label holders, pulls, and vintage hardware.
WHERE TO BUY UNIQUE AND AFFORDABLE METAL LABEL HOLDERS, TAGS, PULLS AND NUMBERS
1. MICHAELS
Michael's carries two label holders that I love and use often. The best part? Both can be bought with their 40% off coupon making them super affordable.
(The small antique bronze labels are found in the scrapbook section, while the metal pulls are with the unfinished wood products and hardware.)
2. OVERSTOCK
Do you prefer to shop online? More than likely you'll find the perfect label holder for your next project on Overstock.
3. HOBBY LOBBY
Hobby Lobby carries one of my favorite metal label holders and at $4.99 for 3 you can't go wrong. They are also a fantastic source for additional hardware, which can often be bought at 40% off.
4. ETSY
Are you looking for authentic vintage and antique hardware? ETSY, especially A Vintage Parcel is my favorite source for vintage metal label holders, drawer pulls, latches, locker tags, knobs, and everything in between.
5. ebAY
eBay can be hit or miss, but it can also be a great source for unique old hardware at very reasonable prices. Try searching "vintage label holders" or "vintage cup pulls" to find one-of-a-kind vintage hardware.
6. D. Lawless Hardware
D.Lawless Hardware has a great selection of metal label holders and pulls at very affordable prices. You can't beat the price ($0.60 and less!) and quality.
7. DHGATE
DHGate is another great affordable online source for label holders and metal pulls that are perfect for small DIY and craft projects.
8. AMAZON
Amazon has a wide variety of unique items and if you have Amazon prime you can snag them with free shipping! Amazon is my go-to hardware source for everything from furniture to smaller DIY projects.
I've used the Antique iron label pulls (usually purchased from Michael's with a 40% off coupon), black bin pulls, antique bronze drawer pulls, black modern cabinet pulls, black vintage bin pulls and the bronze drawer pulls.
9. HOUSE OF ANTIQUE HARDWARE
A little on the pricey side, but if you are looking for larger, good-quality label holders and pulls, House of Antique Hardware and Signature Hardware have some great options, especially for cabinets and higher-end furniture makeovers.
10. SIGNATURE HARDWARE
11. VINTAGE MARKETS/ANTIQUE MALLS
You won't always find hardware in every antique mall or vintage market, but some may have dealers and vendors who specialize in vintage and antique hardware. I recently found a local dealer who primarily sells old hardware that's been rescued from old cabinets and furniture. It's been a great source when I'm in need of just one vintage drawer pull or knob.
12. SHOP YOUR OWN STASH
Are you a DIY'er? I can't stress enough how important it is to keep original hardware from all furniture and DIY projects. You never know when it may come in handy for a future project. Many times I've been able to use old hardware in a new way, with my favorite project being my DIY fluted file cabinet.
I hope you found these hardware sources helpful when you're on the hunt for metal label holders, tags, pulls, numbers, and other cool craft odds & ends. The projects you can create with these supplies are endless!
