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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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 idea and would love a J to hang with my other J’s in my craft area
Love the letter. The letter “C” will be easy for you as you have completed several already. I found the first CC store in Austin by accident and went back three times in two days. I FELL IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT !!!!!!!
I need the letter B. I am making a photo collage on the wall in our tv/toy room. All the photos are in black frames and I have a nice vinyl saying to go on another wall with a large family portrait. I’m thinking a black letter B is just what I need !
How beautiful! My letter would be C. 🙂
I just discovered Charming Charlie’s (cool store)
I bought a unique necklace for my daughters birthday. The letter K would fit perfectly in my son and daughter-in-laws living room that is done in black and green. There 2nd anniversary is today. You’re work is beautiful. I made you’re blog a favorite so I can keep coming back. Thanks.
