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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
Love this!! Would be a great and unique wedding gift!
I LOVE THIS! I am so upset that I caved to pressure a few years ago & threw out a bunch of broken jewelry. I just loved them, kept thinking there had to be something other than trashing them. Now I can’t wait to go looking for pieces to make this!
I LOVE it..I have so much jewelry and when Charming Charlie came to our location and I walked in the door the first time, I felt like I was in heaven. My three daughters were with me and they all said, “mom, they made this store for you!” I would love to have the letter “B” for my first name and since I have so much jewelry, I would display it on the wall above all my jewelry boxes. Also, at work, I’m known for my fabulous accessorizing of my outfits with jewelry. Thanks for your site…AWESOMENESS!!!
“L” is the most beautiful letter in the alphabet! My name just happens to start with it 🙂
Would love an “M” for over my desk. I think this is one of my favorite crafts ever. You did a BEAUTIFUL job.
