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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 to have an E to hang in my room. I absolutely love your amazing ideas and i want to grow up and do what you do and create things! So you are kinda my idle. I watched your video on how to make it and i tryed and it didnt go so well. It is almost my 16th birthday and it would be my best present ever if i won that letter and charming charlie is my favorite store ever! Love “E” 🙂
I think this is the coolest idea! I would love the letter “K” to hang in my dorm room- it would look great since black is an accent color of mine! thanks for the idea!
I LOVE the idea of recycling something broken and turning it into something beautiful. Thanks for the great idea! If I won this, I would have the letter “A”. It would look great in my master bedroom! Thanks for the opportunity!
I lvoe this idea! So modern but classic at the same time. I would love one done in an “A”. 🙂
Hi Laurie, ..first of all, great tip! In staying current with fashion, and not adding to our landfills is a really good idea. I think that if I was lucky enough to win this gorgeous piece of work, I would want the letter ” F ” for family. This charming, artistic piece of fashion would be hung on my living room wall with my family photos surrounding it. This would only accessorize the wall and make for a great conversation piece. And of course, would be a plug for Charming Charley’s. There are many people out there that aren’t aware of this exciting store and it’s merchandise…..
