My Anthropologie Knock Off


I really like getting inspired by certain stores and one of these stores is Anthropologie. When I spotted their wool pom pom garland, I knew right away that I wanted it. Since, it was early December, I told Mr.CC to add it to my Christmas wish list and sure enough, come Christmas morning I opened a package with it inside.
Well, during the weeks leading up to Christmas, I decided to try and make my own garland. I had seen a tutorial on how to make them and when I saw how easy they were, I then knew I could make my own. To be honest, I like my own knock off garland better than the one from Anthropologie, so I returned the rather pricey one to the store. I had also seen a real pretty pom pom wreath, that my blog friend Doreen had made, so yes, I have also made a wreath. I still have some wool yarn left, so I think I will make a larger garland to use as a display item at my shop space.
                                                              Blessings,
                                                                 Linda


                                                I decided to display the garland
                                                         on my old rusty gate.


                                  Soft wool pom pom garland + rusty star +rusty gate=
                                       a charming "farmhouse" look in my home.


                                        The wreath made it's way to my mantel
                                                        for a "Winter" look.


                                       Added my vintage clocks for a different look
                                                             on the mantel.



                                             I didn't care for the fuller wreath that
                                             Anthropologie carries, so I made mine
                                                               like Doreen's.



                                            I like how Doreen displayed her wreath
                                                  on this charming old door.

                                          My blog friend Marian, is who shared a
                                          tutorial on how to make these fun pom
                                                                     poms.

                                                               the tutorial.

Way to go! I started making one of those wreaths last year and never finished. Now the bag of goodies taunts me. :)

You did a great job Linda. I love the pom pom garland and wreath!

I made a Pom Pom wreath before Christmas and Iove it, making Pom Poms is kind of relaxing to me.

Betsy@My Salvaged Treasures said...

Perfect! I love how you've displayed both the garland and the wreath. I just might have to add this to my long list of things to try. Thanks for the inspiration Linda. I love a good knock off project.

Linda, I love the January Winter White look, and your little fluffy pom poms bring in a bit of whimsy to the decor. Oh, and on that gate, it's perfect!

Your pom pom garland and wreath are wonderful for winter decor. They look fantastic draped across the rusty gate and hung on the chippy door.

Love your knock offs Linda! I have them on my list of things I want to make. I am thinking of making the wreath for Valentines but not sure. Thank you for partying at my place friend! Keep warm!

Amber ~ The French Pressed Home said...

Pretty darn cute, Linda! I have such a bad habit of going shopping with the intent to buy but end up empty handed for the DIY reason! Send me to an Antiques store or a junk yard... that's a different story! Love your little poms!

Burlap Luxe said...

The Pom pom garland and wreath are so much better knowing you did not pay those Anthropology prices.
You did an amazing job.

Thank you for the inspiration.

Love your wreath and garland. Your gate is so neat! Love how Doreen decorated her old door. Gave me an idea!! Happy New Year!

I made the pom pom garland with my nieces on our annual Christmas craft day. We had so much fun with it! We ran out of yarn so my older niece had to go and buy some more yarn! I still have my two garlands hanging, one around a mirror in my entrance and one draped over my burlap curtain in the dining room. The burlap curtains have small pom poms on the edges, so the bigger pom pom garland looks really cute hanging over the top of them and falling down the sides. :)
I got the idea from Ms Mustard seed as well! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Laurel@ChippingwithCharm said...

So fun!! I love it on the gate with the star! I think I need to try to make some poms poms again. My last try was a "fail" ;)
