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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 love the letter “T” ….all five of us in the house have names that start with that letter, even the dog :o)
This is gorgeous, very inspirational! I would love to have one 🙂 Thanks for the chance!
I would love to have the letter “J”. I would hang it above my and my husband’s bed. We are recently married and he is deploying to Afghanistan next week. I am setting up Housekeeping while he is away, and I would love to place this in our master bedroom. This is a wonderful idea! I am absolutely in love with jewelry, and personally have too much of it. Now I can use this idea for ideas on what to do with all my extra jewelry that I just can’t seem to get rid of.
I would love to get the letter “G”. I would hang it on my wall where I have my jewelry armoir. This is so beautiful and elegant. You are so creative! Thank you for this chance to “win” one of your creations. 🙂
I would choose the letter “S” since it works for both my first and last name. I’d love to hang this masterpiece in my entry way surrounded by my family photos. Beautiful artwork you have created.
