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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 love this idea! In hopes of wining this giveaway, I would like to have one in the letter “J”. Instead of keeping such a beautiful piece for myself, I’d rather give it to my older sister, Jennifer, who recently has been going through a divorce. She’s such a wonderful friend and sister! She is raising three young kids on her own and doesn’t have much money to spend on herself so I’d like to give it to her to let her know that her little sister cares about her. I think by having this in her home, it could remind her everyday that she is beautful and independent.

I’d love the letter J! I would hang it on my ‘half’ of my office. 🙂
B is our signiture letter for the Burnsboys, there are 5 boys and my husband and I , not much is girly in our house , but this would be great to add a little frill. Glad I found your sight. Thanks mom of 5 boys.
Wow, that is amazing. We are a “T” family! Thanks for the opportunity.
How very fun! We are a family of “D”s so “D” it would be! Right in the middle of the picture wall – how fabulous!
