Craft Day: Shall we make an Anthropologie look-a-like?

Before we get started, let me let you in on a little pet peeve of mine in the crafting world.

I hate it when people say they are going to make a look alike to an expensive item. Then they make it and it looks ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like the original.

Then, to cover their mistake, they just say "Well this is what I was making but mine turned out much cuter!"

Or "I put my own spin on it..."

UMM yeah right, chances are it is not cuter.

BUT if it is cuter, then just say "Hey check out my adorable tutorial!"

Instead of "Check out my copy-cat (that doesn't look a thing like the original) tutorial"

Ok enough of that.

Presenting my as-close-as-possible Anthropologie Necklace look a like

5/8" Hand-dyed silk ribbon from M&J Trimming and Fabric Town.

Be careful, there is tons of cute stuff on M&J.

I used about 4 yards each necklace.

All the pretty rainbow ribbons :)

Necklace from Forever, or course. It was like 3 dollars.

It had 4 strands and we needed only 2 so we cut 2 off.

Then we cut all the ribbon into 3.5" strips with adorable pinking shears.

And painstakingly tied two at a time onto the necklace with a square knot 

We used kind of a rainbow pattern, but it came out pretty random looking so I don't know if it matters.

Mine is this one.

 Anthropologie's is this one

I love it and I get tons of compliments on it!
