Today I’m showcasing my favorite DIY decor tutorial that I’ve done all year. It’s a broken jewelry letter craft that I made for Charming Charlie (an accessory store).
This was really the coolest opportunity as I’m a huge fan of Charming Charlie. For me, they are the go-to-place for inexpensive accessories. Since I have all boys, the only person I have to dress up is myself! {{sad but true}} Since the Charming Charlie store organizes their accessories by color – it’s the easiest place for me to buy my accessories.
Watch my video for all the details on how to use broken jewelry to embellish this wood letter.
As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.
Craft ~ Broken Jewelry Letter
For the complete tutorial on how to make this gorgeous blinged out monogram you can watch my video or head on over to the Charming Charlie blog with all the specifics.
You’ll need a letter of any size, a lot of jewelry, tin snips, and a hot glue gun. It took me 5 hours to make the first one (silver) but only 2 hours to make the second one (gold). Once you get all the jewelry cut up and figure out the design, it’s incredibly easy and zero crafting skills are required. {{wink}} Simply cut up the jewelry with the tin snips and hot glue onto the letter. That’s it!
You can hang it directly onto any wall or frame it like I did with the silver one. You can also go as elaborate or as simple as you’d like and use any size letter. This would make a gorgeous homemade gift idea. Keep it in mind for birthday presents this next year.
Sharing on FB – why not? Everyone can do this and make a chic room art piece! Letter K please!
I love this! My mom made a Christmas tree with little lights on it and it still hangs in her home – been there for 40 years! I would choose the Letter K for me! I m the only estrogen in my home, too!
I would love to have one of these in the letter “J”! I would display it on an easel on the entry table by the front door. This craft reminds me of something similar my mother did nearly 20 years ago; a set of Christmas lights in a green velvet covered board that she framed. (Dad drilled holes for each light to poke through.) The lights were installed in the shape of a tree then the “tree” was decorated with jewelry pieces from my grandmother.
oh that is something I could do! thanks for sharing- LOVE your ideas !!!
These are beautiful! I am hanging family photos in ou hallway and would love to hang this as an anchor piece. I would need the letter C. Thank you.
