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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
Charming Charlies has a special place in my heart, as my mother and I both love going there together. I’d like the letter O for my mother to display in her home. You do amazing work! Thanks for the opportunity!
Love the creativity put into this fine artwork
I think this is a great idea, now there is a creative way to get rid of old/broken jewelry and create some really beautiful art work. I only wish I was crafty enough to make a letter D or A to display in my shoe/purse room. Either way it is a amazing idea and I love it.
I would love to have a ‘C’ to give to my grandmother…it has this eclectic feel to it and I know she would just love to hang it in her entry hall for everyone to see. Her home is such a welcoming place and everyone would see it when they come to visit! 🙂
What a great idea! I love Charming Charlies and crafty things. My best friend name starts with a “D” and I would love to be able to give her to her if I won.
