Anthro Necklace Knockoff
>> 3.29.2010
While I waited for stain to dry this weekend, I kept busy with a little thrifty craft action:
Have you seen this necklace before?
I knew I had to make my own after seeing one in the newest Anthropologie catalog:
$48... no thanks!
I created my own version using Dollar Tree flowers ($1), two thrift store chains ($2), scissors, and pliers...
for a total of $3.
I used the pliers to remove the clasp from the gold chain and attach it to the silver one. The scissors helped me cut apart the petals and create holes to thread through the gold chain.
I was able to get the fuller look by alternating between one hole and two hole petals.
I love the way the gold looks peeking through the white petals.
Don't worry Anthropologie... although I was able to make your $48 necklace for $3, I still love you! I promise to wear it with one of your dresses. I doubt that will be something I'll be able to DIY.
Anyone have a chance to do a knockoff craft lately?
PS I'm linking up with The 27th Penny Pinching Party over at The Thrifty Home.
Make sure you head over and join in on the fun!

wow, great job! it's inspiring me to do the same thing with the fake flowers from my upcoming wedding for jewelry after :)
so cute! want to make me one too? :)
Kasey, this is SO brilliant! I might have to copy you. That necklace is beautiful! I love the effect of the gold peaking through, too. So smart!
I love that and I am going to steal the idea :)
Oh wow - you did an awesome job! That looks great... makes me want to run home and make one! ;) great work!
Gaaaa!!! Soooo cute. Love the dress too.
omg, Kasey. You never cease to amaze me! It's absolutely fabulous.
whata great idea! I really like the dress your paired your necklace with - it looks so cute.
Brilliant!! You could make a fortune!! ;)
It came out great! I'm impressed. Loving that dress too!
I'm so happy I can finally see the last picture--it looks awesome! You are so creative.
Wow Kasey! Your necklace turned out so well and with all that money you saved you can go out and buy yourself something nice! ; )

LOVE THIS! I think I am going to have to make one myself- it will look fab with that dress :)
Kasey - what happened with Blogger? I saw something on my google reader about you having some blogger issues, but now that post is gone. weird! I haven't had any problems so far (knock on wood). I did sign up for Wordpress, just to see what it's like. It's definitely not as intuitive and I *think* you have to pay to use your own template design. Not sure though, will have to explore more.
Great idea! Love it!!
WOW! What a fantastic idea. I'm completely inspired and am going to try this myself. Thanks for the tutorial!!
I jumped over to your blog from YHL when I saw you posted about using Dollar Store flowers. I use them ALL THE TIME! This is a great idea for them, and it turned out great! I'm just boring and use them in their usual flower form :) but I did 6 flower arrangements for $7.
That was simply brilliant, and I love it! Thank you for sharing.
Where is that jewelry-making daughter of mine...
