There are so many things to make using broken jewelry, but today I’m going to feature the four crafting projects that I created for Charming Charlie accessories.
Wondering how to make your old jewelry unique again? Tired of looking at the same old jewelry but don’t want to get rid of it? Here are four ways you can repurpose your old costume jewelry like earrings and bangles into different accessories and home decor.
Broken and Old Jewelry Monogram
Back in October, I had the opportunity of coming up with several things to make out of broken jewelry for the Charming Charlie’s fashion blog. They wanted each piece to have a different style and vibe. Therefore, I made a chic monogrammed wood letter, vintage embellished mirror, and a rocker frame. They are all incredibly easy to make, as only beginner glue guns skills are required. {{wink}}
Old Jewelry Crafting
Each DIY project has its own video, as well as pictured instructions so you can make them as well. I also love to personalize my purses, and therefore I created a quick tutorial on how to embellish an old purse with jewelry. They were each a labor of love and I hope you learn some new or are inspired to making something fun for yourself this week.
