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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
The letter “F” for family .. Because with everything my kids and I have been through, that is what has kept us strong and together. Being a family. And I would put it in our family room to remind us that we are strong and can get through anything.
Hi Laurie!
First, I would love the letter M to be imprinted with your unique jeweled design! Secondly, I would place the letter in my foyer, right wall, for all to see upon entry.
Thanks for the opportunity to receive such a great gift….Happy New Year!

The letter “T”
I would like the letter, ‘J’. I would put it in my bathroom where I am determined to cover nearly every inch of wall, with photos and pictures and other interesting things I can find, and hopefully win!
I would like the letter “M:. I would hang it in my apartment in Athens in my living room on the wall, where I have my own photograph shots of things I love. This would be great to hang beside each of them to symbolize me; seeing as how much I love jewelry & charming charlies!! 🙂
