How many knobs and pulls?

This fits in a car

About 5 lb of materials. Comfortably inside what a car carries (200 lb), so any shopper can take it. ⚠️ 1 item on the list has no weight on file, so the real load is a little heavier than this.

What to buy — untick anything you have

Hardware

2 packs of cabinet pulls or knobs, 10 per packMatch the hole spacing, center to center, to the old pulls (3 in, 96 mm and 128 mm are common) so no new holes are needed.
1 pack of machine screws, 8-32, assorted lengthsDrawer fronts are often thicker than doors, and the screws in the box can come up short.

Paint

1 tub of wood filler

It lands in the shopping form, where you can edit anything and say what you think each thing costs. Nothing is ordered until you send it.

How it goes · about an hour or two · beginner

Count the knobs and pulls, and measure the hole spacing on one pull before buying anything.
Unscrew the old hardware and keep one piece aside in case the new ones do not fit.
Screw on the new pieces, using the longer screws on the thicker drawer fronts.
If the spacing changed, use the jig to drill new holes and fill the old ones with wood filler.
