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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 choose the letter “R” as my daughter just got engaged and will be marrying Jake Riner this coming summer. They could put it in their new house. We could use it as part of the wedding decor too !
I would love the letter L. Fabulous idea and such a beautiful piece of work. My bedroom is olive green and beige.
A “R” please…… I will put it in the game room of my house…..I have 3 boys……a litle girly stuff will drive them crazy!! 🙂
Happy New Year!!!
A “T” for me! I’d take mine to work – I work in a drab office with all men (engineers) and believe me, that office would use a little bling and some some estrogen.
Laurie,
This is so very cool and creative. I love the fou fou letters. I’m always looking for the unusual/creative touch. That just means the most to me. I would love nothing better than to have the letter “J”. Black will be so cool.
Thanks for sharing your fabulous ideas with us all.
Peace and happy New Year.
