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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
..Wouldn’t the letter ” Y ” be a fun thing to make ?? !! So few of us have names that start with Y, and being able to see just a beautiful piece of art hanging in my home would be wonderful …….. Yea !! Yea !! Yea !! for the letter ” Y ” ……. Thank You ………….. Yanic
I would love to hang my new initial inside a home I hope to have sometime after the first of the year. I am a newly divorced mother of 2 beautiful kids and we have been living with my parents for 1 year now. I’m almost ready to be on my own but I have been trying to save money and do it the smart way. This would be a great new piece for a new home and new start for myself and my kids.
How fab! Would love one of these over my desk….would brighten up even dreary paper work to look up and see it. Thanks so much for the giveaway….how fun. Would love a D if I should be the lucky winner.
Hi Lori, I would love either a S or an A. I have 2 teenage daughters and their rooms are hot pink & black and lime green & black respectively so this black letter would look great on their sitting room walls!
Happy New Year!
Kim
Happy New Year!!!
I would like the letter A it is for my daughter room. She is now 13 and would like a older bedroom.
