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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
This idea is fabulous! I’d love to have an ‘E’ to put in my dorm. My dorm room is quite boring and plan, this would be a great way to spice it up!
I would love a S to go in my entry. I think it is sooo cute!
How beautiful! I love every little detail. My fiance and I would love to use it in our home or even at the wedding!! An “N” would be a great addition for our house! Or a “C” would be great…just for me:)
This is a really cute and kitchy kinda way to recycle broken jewelry. My little sister loves Charming Charlie’s and would love an “M” to hang in her room.
I would love a ‘G’ to hang above the family dining table. My mother would love this and it would be a great start to her new year. especially when we have just moved from Wales to the USA. This would make her year (:
