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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 the letter C to give to my best friend so she can hang it in her house to show that she is a Cancer Survivor. I love your idea of the broken jewlery with the letters.
My letter would be H and I plan to hang this in my Vintage (camper) Trailer, that I will be decorating in GYPSY style this summer. To travel from one Charming Charlie store to the other.
I love Charming Charlie’s but do not have one in Grand Rapids, Michigan where I live . So far I have to gone to Houston and Chicago for shopping at Charming Charlie’s but plan to hit every one in the future.
I am a single foster mom. My children (the ones old enough to speak) call me Ms J while they are in my home. I think it would be sweet to have one of your beautiful J’s in the childrens’ room, so they know Ms J is always looking out for them!
I hope this becomes a big success for you!
I would love the letter J. It’s the first letter of my name and also my sister’s name. We are currently sharing an apartment. I’d love to have a cute framed initial to hang in our living room.
“C” of course, for Cindy. I have a jewelry nut. I have my late mother in laws and Aunt from the 40’s and 50’s, plus pieces I have accumulated. I have enough jewelry to have my own business. Am intrigued by creative people that
recycle. Would love to hang the letter “C” in my office with pride.
