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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
That is a really cool idea! What a great gift this would make for all ‘bling’ girls, young or old! Thanks for sharing and a K for me!
Honestly your creation is beautiful, unique and one if a kind. I would love to get your monogram. If I win I will like to get the letter “N”. God bless and good luck to all he girls participating in this contest.
What a cool way to recycle those out-of-date jewelry or unwanted gifts. If I’m lucky enough to win, I’d love and “S” for Sandy. It’ll take pride of place on the wall of my craft room.
I just saw your video on how to make the frame with broken or unused jewelry. This could be one of the top ways to use those items and it is awesome. I love the look and have just the perfect place for one, should I be lucky enough to win, just above my makeup table! My colors are black and red, just in case you need to know! I look forward to more ideas like this one….keep them coming, PLEASE!
I love the letter ‘C’ for Candace, but would truly be dazzled by an ‘H’.
I wish there was a Charming Charlieclose to me. I am a motherbof 3 boys and love a lil’ bling! Sign me up!!
PS: thanks for the tutorial, what an awesome idea!
