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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
Hi,
I would like to win the letter ‘L’ for my daughter, Lauren. she would take it to college with her and display it in her room. Then all of her friends would be envious of the cool Mom that she has!!
These would make GREAT housewarming gifts for my clients. As a realtor I am always looking for something new and creative to give. Lovve CC’s and this art! A letter H or J would be wonderful (my fellow realtors would be sooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous!) Thank you for sharing
These monograms are so beautiful! I love the silver one it is almost like a little disco ball! :]
If you wouldn’t mind I would like a ‘C’ for my dorm room. It would be the perfect focal point in my room, making it a little more homey. Thanks for reading!
Gorgeous!! And Charming Charlie is my number one favorite place to shop-bar none!!! My daughter and I get giddy when we go there, and spend hours looking, relooking, dreaming, then choosing!!
I would like a letter D, and I would put it in my entry way with my large mirror so that anyone that came to see me wouldn’t miss it!!
What a great idea, I would love to have a S.
