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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 love a letter M for Melanie. Color and metal doesn’t matter. I would put it in my room – which is done in a dusty purple color.
This is such a wonderful idea and so nice that you are giving one of your beautiful creations away! I always hate when I run across a broken jewelry piece and this is a wonderful way to not loose something so nice but create something even more beautiful. I would love to have a “J,” it is not only my initial but also my boyfriend’s. I love him to death and even if/when we decided to get married, it would still be relevant. Thank you so much for the opportunity!
I would hang it above my bed or in my living room. I also think this is a great idea that could turn into wonderful presents for friends. Also I’d like the letter J.
I would like the letter B – any color, any metal or mixture of metals. I would probably but it in my bedroom near my dresser where my jewelry is. Thanks. Love this idea!
I love this idea! It’s a great way to reuse items and it looks wonderful! I’d love the letter K …we would hang it in our living room for everyone to enjoy!
