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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
Since nobody can spell my last name correctly, RAJCZEWSKI, perhaps an R will give them a good start

I LOVE the idea. ( smile)
I would love the letter “B” for my beloved Mother who lost her life to ovarian cancer & of course my name. This keepsake to cherish would look fantastic in my bedroom.
I would love the letter “D” to give to my granddaughters who both have first and last names that start with “D”. On a fixed income, I cannot afford the supplies to do neat things like this for them on my own. It would look so neat in their little bedroom/playroom. Thanks so much! By the way, Charming Charlies is where I love to go to browse!
I would love, love, LOVE, to have a letter “J”! It would look super cute in my bedroom on the wall above my bed! 🙂
I would be very excited to get an “A” for my first name. I recently started turning a spare bedroom into a crafting/sewing room and would love to put this on the wall. I would probably frame it on velvet similar to the way shown in your picture.
If I don’t win, I will definitely be crafting this project on my own!
