Anthropologification is when you take a basic boring piece like a skirt or sweater, add your own ribbon or embellishment and voila’ it looks like you paid a ton of money for it at Anthropologie. I have four examples of sweaters being Anthropoligified. I’ll post two right now and two next week.

SWEATER 1
Inspiration: Grace, a friend I met through Rebecca was wearing a darling monogrammed sweater.

How to Make: Buy an iron on letter at a notions store or on ebay right here. It should cost around $2/letter. The sweater I used was just a little $15 cotton vneck from Zara. All you do is iron it on. The whole process took me around five minutes and $17.


SWEATER 2
Inspiration: I bought this sweater from Anthropologie after it went on sale. I realized that it could easily be copied. Original price: $120 {I didn’t pay this much!}


How to Make: I bought about $7 worth of felt from Joann’s Fabrics. I also bought $5 worth of double sided iron on adhesive. I think it still needs something {maybe some yellow} but I didn’t want to do too complicated of a design my first time. I bought this Lambswool sweater from LaRedoute for $17. Follow the directions on the double sided adhesive. Basically you iron the adhesive to the felt, cut out the pieces and then iron them to the sweater. {I still am going to go over and hand stitch the edges down because the original is like that.} The whole thing took me about an hour and cost me about $29.
