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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
these are very cool….tho i would need a s….super job
How awesome! I never could have been so creative! I would love to have that C…it would look amazing in my bedroom! Thanks so much.
I would Love to have the Letter P to put over the dresser in our bedroom. I always wondered what to do with my left over jewelry that I didn’t wear anymore and I always see jewelry at yard sales. So now I know to buy it and do my friends broken jewelry monograms. Good idea for Birthday presents for my two best friends. I always try to give them something different and unusual and they both love jewelry so this would be a great present for both of them. Also I would like to tell you how much I have enjoyed your blog and i have been able to get some great ideas from it. thanks for all you work.

Very neat, I have a Christmas tree my grandmother made out of old jewlery that is similar. I’d pick “G” if I won.
