I love Anthropologie, but hate their ridiculously high prices. While I wish I could buy every article of clothing, accessory and home decoration piece within Anthropologie’s beautifully decorated walls, their merchandise is often outside my desired price range. I’m willing to bet that I’m not the only fashion-loving girl who feels this way! Fortunately for us all, there are multiple tutorials that teach how to re-create many of Anthropologie’s adorable products at just a fraction of the cost.

If you love fashion and crafting, this is going to make your day. The bracelet in the above photo is just one of many DIY projects inspired by Anthropologie products, the instructions for which can be found at Flamingo Toes. I think the knock-off version is even more adorable than the original, and would definitely give this tutorial a try! Who knew that so much of Anthropologie’s merchandise could be so easily duplicated? Continue reading for more DIY projects inspired by one of my favorite stores. Personally, I’m thrilled that I can continue to dress in this style without breaking the bank.


Doily Necklace: This lacy accessory can be worn with a variety of outfits. Instructions can be found at …Love Maegan


Fabric Flower Necklace: This is another knock-off that, I have to admit, I like even more than the original Anthropologie Akela necklace. Check out the difference between the two, as well as instructions for creating the duplicate, at Flamingo Toes.


Metal Earrings: These earrings are adorable, but the original product goes for $38! That’s a little steep for a pair of cute earrings, in my opinion. Learn how to create the knock-off version at my girlish whims.

Squeezebox Top: I think this top is absolutely adorable. Although I don’t have much experience with a sewing machine, I may just have to get some practice so that I can re-create it. The tutorial for this fun top can be found at Welcome to the gOOd life.

Flower Hairpins: These aren’t just for little girls! I think these flower hairpins make for great summer hair accessories. In fact, as I brush my hair out of my face for the millionth time today, I wish I had some right now! Check out the tutorial at SAVED BY LOVE Creations.


Polymer Clay Necklace: This piece would be a great way to dress up a casual outfit. It isn’t very hard to make, either! The tutorial for this Anthropologie duplicate can be found at SAVED BY LOVE Creations.

Faux Antique Mirror: I would definitely use a piece like this, coupled with some vintage photographs, to give a room an old-fashioned vibe. Learn how to make your own faux antique mirror at home Heart craft.
