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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 my first inital, J. I don’t know yet where I would hang it, but it would be for sure somewhere I could admire it constantly!
I would LOVE to have the letter M. I would put it above my fireplace in my living room… I need some bling in my house!!!! 🙂
Such a super cute idea for all broken jewelry my children are given by their grandma… that is right she gives it to them to play with.
I should say “S” for my last name, but I think I really would love the letter “L” for Love and I would hang it in my Living room or dinning room where all could see it.
These are gorgeous! I would love a ‘J’. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love the letter “E” for our last name. I think I will hang it in my entry way so people can see it as soon as they come though the door and know that my family is a jewel! 🙂 Either that or in my bathroom but I am really leaning towards the entry area. Thank you for this wonderful chance to win a true one of a kind creation.
