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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
A beautiful letter M would be absolutely PERFECT in my newly-remodeled living room addition!
I would LOVE this in my living room it is perfect for my big empty wall I am trying to put something in!
I would love a “W” to put on the mantel for the family to enjoy. My kids (6 & 9) are very creative in re-using broken bits of things & this would be an awesome example of that. Who knows, it could inspire the next generation of creative geniuses.
The letter S would be great to put up on our accent wall of our front room. Usually people use color for the accent, but since we can’t paint our walls (we rent our house), I used extreme closeups of my kids and some black framed mirrors. This would be the perfect addition!
I would love the letter K to hang in my bedroom (where all of my wall hangings are black and white). It would be great there.
