Anthro Knock-Off: Scrappy Scarf Necklace

Remember this Anthropologie Scarf Necklace from our Monochromatic Challenge?

$148 was just a little too much for me to spend (apparently it wasn't too much for others because the necklace has since sold out!) on an accessory, so I attempted to whip up my own version using scrap fabric.  Here is what I came up with:

I loved ripping strips of fabric and piecing together scraps for the scrappy version of the original!


Twisting the fabric gave it a whole new look!
I went a little crazy and made 4 necklaces (two of which we immediately claimed by my friend Marcy from K.a.i-y.a.)
I thought this twisted stacked looked was awesome for the winter!

This was a really fun way to make my scrap bin into something trendy for the fall!  What do you think?

    I love that stacked look! Fabulous job. I cannot believe that people paid that much for a fabric necklace...but hey if you've got the money go for it :)
    Found your awesome project on Southern Lovely!

    Great idea! I would never spend $148 for the scarf at Anthropologie but I wouldn't mind being one of those people who can :) Great job on the knock-off!
