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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
How unique and beautiful! I would love to have an A to hang in our family room.
I would love an “M” to hang in my bedroom. Love this idea – creative way to use older jewelry pieces.
I would choose a “J” for my letter and hang it above the fireplace. Love it!
I would love to have an “M” to hang in my room either on my wall or on my door. I have the perfect wall to put it on!
Even an “H” to hang in my living room would be amazing as a gift to my parents.
This is such a good idea for you to do! I love it!!
I simply adore these vintage jewelry monograms. I remember poking through my grandmother’s jewelry box as a child and trying everthing on at once. I would have bracelets up to my elbows and rings on every finger. I felts so glamorous and special and these monograms evoke those memories perfectly!
