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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 is awesome…what a clever idea. Thanks for the chance!
My last name starts with a P. If I am the chosen one the perfect spot to hang this work of art is in my master bedroom. We just repainted the room and I have not bought anything for the walls. My bed is a large 4 post bed in a black rubbed finish. I believe a “P” would be a Perfect piece for my room.
Love Charming Charlies and would like to win the Monogram gift! Yesssssssssssssss!
I would love an “L” to put in my living room! I am moving out for the first time this coming Wednesday and my room-mates name is also Lauren. This would be the perfect accessory for our first apartment!
Hi! I absolutely L_O_V_E this idea. Very practical idea but oh so chic! Thanks so much for the tutorial. I would love to have the letter L to hang in my bedroom!! I wasn’t familiar with the Charming Charlie website before this…I actually stumbled upon Tip Junkie…so glad to have found you. I’m a fan. 🙂
