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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
Laurie,
You are VERY talented! I love your works of art. I would love to win one of your pieces. Please enter me in the give-a-way. I would like the letter “M” for my husband’s and my last name. We’d hang it in the living room because it would be sure to be a beautiful conversation piece. Thank you so much! Your blog is now in my bookmarks, and I will be sharing it with my friends.
Have a great night,

This is incredible! I love it! An “R” in my office would be “ravishing”! 😀
I love this!! Absolutely beautiful. I would love the letter “D” Thanks!!
This is a fabulous idea! I’m going to art school next year and I had a portfolio review a few weeks ago! I wish I could have done something like this to show the school! I would like the letter “T.” It would look great hanging over my bed.
Keep up the creative work! It’s amazing!
These are AWESOME!!! What a great idea. If I win, I would love the letter S!!! What a great way to recycle jewelry that I just can’t get myself to throw away!!
