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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
Omg that is just wayy tooo adorable! i would LOVE for you to make a L for my first name. it would look great in my new apartment!
I love these soooo much! You do such a wonderful job! I would love a R for my first name Reanna. I would definitely hang it in my room. Thanks so much!!
I would love to have letter “J”, it’s not my family name as in our culture, we dont have to have family name. Yet my first name is pretty common, hehe. What J stands for is really uncommon even in any country, i think. so I would love to have that initial in my room as reminder how my parents could think of cool name for me like that when I was born 🙂 Thank you!
I would really love to win the letter “F” for my parents, especially my mother, to give them as a surprise and as a thank you for everything that they do for me. They do so much and this beautiful letter would be gorgeous hanging up in our family room, my mother would just love it. She would definitely show it off with pride to everyone who came into our home!
I would love a little bling by my bedside table. The initials are very special. I would like a S. Thanks and Happy New Year:)
