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As featured on CharmingCharlie.com – This DIY decor project gives you an opportunity to use your outdated jewelry, non-functional jewelry, sentimental jewelry, jewelry you received as a gift (but would not wear), and other jewelry odds and ends.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.
This is such a creative an innovative way to use jewelry! If I was lucky enough to win this gorgeous piece of art I would request the letter “M.” I am sixteen years old and am currently trying to re-do my bedroom. It’s out with the stuffed animals and all that, and in with the new, more grownup things. If I won this it would be displayed above my bed. It would be such an amazing addition to my updated room. Thanks for your creativity and for considering me for the giveaway.
I would absolutely love to have the letter K. What a great project! Thank you for sharing,
I think this is a great idea!!! I would love to have an S (for my last name). I would put it in the living room. My living room has western decor in it, and this would add a little feminine touch to it. I think it would look great with the western decor. In fact, I’m thinking I need to try to make one myself, if I don’t win!!!
I love this idea and can picture an “A” in my living room.
I love savy crafts and this is no exception.
Much love!
Oh my gosh these are absolutely gorgeous! I would love to have a “C” as well. I would hang it in my sewing/craft room where I could admire it everyday! 🙂
