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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 to have the letter “C” for my daughter (Chelsea) who is getting married in May 2011. It would make a special present to give to her because no matter what her new last name will be, her first name will always begin wit a “C” like mine! And I know she would put it in her powder room or her front entryway.
I would love the letter K I would hang it in the living room. What a great idea. I am going to have to make some for friends. That is absolutely Beautiful. Thank you. Quiltinqueenie
This is very pretty. I would love to give this to my mother for Christmas that is coming in January (Orthodox). I am sure she would find a good spot for it in her room. Her name Is Svetlana.

Hey!
This is a super cute idea! I think would hang it above my bed – my walls are a little plain, as my dad and I just redid my room, and the black would go perfect with my color scheme of black and green 🙂 I would like an S for Stephanie please!
Thanks 😀
I would want a letter K. I would display it on our mantle in our living room. I love this piece. It would really be symbolic in our house. My husband and I are newly married and we have a 3 year old son. When we found out he was on the way we were not in a good place at all. We were broken. We did not immediately rush into marriage for this reason. After 2 years we were able to come together and build something beautiful.
