4 Things To Make out of Broken Jewelry

There are so many things to make using broken jewelry, but today I’m going feature the four crafting projects that I created for Charming Charlie accessories.  At the end of this post, I’ll also announce the winner of the Broken Jewelry Monogram, a $300 value!

4 Things To Make out of Broken Jewelry

DIY craft: make jewelry

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}}

Each DIY project has it’s 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.

    My daughter works at Deja Vu on Panama City Beach. Recently she brought home a pile of jewelry that had missing pieces or broken clasps and asked me for my “help” in somehow restoring the pieces. This is an excellent idea….

    I will make one for their store and then I will go through all of my costume jewelry and things passed down to me by my grandmother and get busy doing something visual…they are sitting in my armoire never to be seen!!

    Thanks for the wonderful idea!

    It is very funny for me to come across this. My mother made these letters for Charming Charlies 2 yrs ago and they are giving out my mother idea’s to others. That is the not cool because we have been doing the letters for at least 5 yrs if not more. If you want to take credit go ahead because we are on still making more creative things and there are pattens pending so thank you for your time

    That’s an amazing project. I never thought of using old jewelries and somewhat recycling them. They are all just kept in a drawer. I’ll surely ask my wife to try and work on som eo fthe stuff in your post. Thanks!
