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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
I would like the letter “K” for my daughter Katelyn. She is a “911” Dispatcher and does so many wonderful things for people everyday that I would love to give her a little thank you for all she does. She too is a girly girl and this would be a perfect addition to her humble apartment. Thanks!
I love this idea! I would love the letter “D” because it is the first letter in my name and also I will be graduating with my doctorate in June so I will be Dr. D!!! 🙂
I would love the letter “C” for our last name!!! This would be stunning in my entry way!!! Your did such a excellent job!!! You are very talented!!!! Thx!!!! I hope I win, this is so cool!!!
I would love love love the letter M. I would hang it in my new apartment in the living room where everyone could see it.
I would like the letter D. I work from home and would display it in my office. Thank you:)
