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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
Thank you for the wonderful tips. I never throw away broken jewelry, but I never knew what to do with it either. These tips are fantastic!!
I would love to win a great big ole “M”
Love your stuff,
Monique
OMG!! That is beautiful. So creative and a great use of your old and/or broken jewelry. My 7 yo daughter and I just recently discovered CHARMING CHARLIES in Leesburg and we were hooked!! My daughter is so into anything with her initials on it right now. I would love to have a “D” for her since her name is Delaney. She could hang it above the little nook in her bedroom where she has her vanity table with her jewelry box and all her other hair and kid makeup accessories!
Thanks Laurie & Charming Charlie’s
I would like the letter “K” please as a gift for my daughter. Thanks so much. Your work is beautiful.
I would love to win a letter “S” for my daughter. She is a newlywed and hubby just deployed to Afghanistan.
These are awesome and such a good idea, rather than throwing away old jewelry! I would love an “S” if I win!! Perfect for our bedroom!
