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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 hang up the letter in my bedroom. Great idea for old broken jewelry. I would love a letter M
It would be really great to win a letter “K” from you. My daughter would be very surprised to receive one
of your handmade treasures and could hang it on her bedroom wall to have forever!
I would be thrilled to have the letter ‘H”. My daughter, Hannah, is turning 18 in January, and LOVES Charming Charlie! The first time she went there, she said, “I don’t know what to do!” She was overwhelmed by all the fun jewelry and accessories. Your beautiful jeweled letter would be perfect for her birthday, and something fun to take to college! Thanks for the contest!
I would love to have the letter “H”. My daughter just got engaged today and I would love to “surprise” her with this unique piece of art as an engagement present. She loves unique and different things (has a pocketbook made from parking signs and another one from candy wrappers), so this would be just that added “jewel” that she needs. Thanks for offering the chance to win such a beautifil item.
This is a fabulous and beautiful way to reuse jewelry! I love it! If I were to win, I would like the letter “T”. If I am not lucky enough to win one of your gorgeous works of art, I might have to create one myself. Thank you for the chance to win and good luck to everyone!
