10 Luxe Designer Dupe Christmas DIYs 🎄 (Pottery Barn, Anthro & McGee & Co. Inspired!)

You know, those dreamy Christmas pieces from Pottery Barn and Anthropologie that cost a small fortune? Well, I recreated 10 of those for a fraction of the price using Amazon Dollar Tree finds and some clever tricks. Most of them turned out even better than the originals. One of them, not so much. I'll show you what I mean. Let's start with one of my favorite Pottery Barn pieces. Pearls are everywhere for this year's Christmas decor, and I wanted to recreate this gorgeous pearl ornament. It actually was super easy, just time consuming. But the results were absolutely worth it. These look elegant and expensive, but they're literally just pearl beads glued onto clear ornaments. I simply used random sizes of pearls I found on Amazon, as well as these clear ornaments and a bunch of hot glue. Make sure you buy a lot of hot glue sticks for this project. I started by applying some hot glue in sections onto my ornament and then adding the pearls on top of that. I simply alternated between different sizes so that the look was what I wanted. For a finishing touch, I added some of this thin, deep red velvet ribbon on top for hanging, added these to my tree, and they look absolutely gorgeous and a lot of fun to make. Anthropologie's gingham bow ornaments are absolutely adorable, but for $24, I just don't think it's worth it to buy these. So I decided to make some using leftovers from an Amazon gingham sheet set that I bought. I made some curtains with these, and now I have a few pieces left over for some crafts. You could also use thrift store fabric, thrift store sheets for these. The options are endless. You can find so many fun patterns and colors to make these bows from. They look so sweet and nostalgic, and I love that you can pin these to some stockings that I'll show you how I made later. To make these, I cut three rectangles from my gingham sheet. I love using gingham for sewing because you don't really have to measure it. You can just count the checks on the fabric. I made one rectangle that was six by 12 inches, one that was five by 16 inches, and one that was three by one and a half inches. I cut the ends of the longest rectangle at an angle to make the tail for the bow. Then I folded each piece in half, right sides together, and used my sewing machine to create a tube. You could also use fabric glue or hot glue for this. Then I turned this six by 12 inch piece right side out and sewed the ends together to create a loop. Then I laid this on top of the tail piece, and I sewed that smallest tube into a loop and pulled that over the other two pieces to create this bow shape. Then I added a green pipe cleaner to the back to hang these on the tree. You could also use the pipe cleaner to hang these on a garland. And look how cute these turned out. You could also make an oversized bow and use it as a tree topper. Pottery Barn's gold dotted ornaments have that subtle shimmer that catches the light and looks so elegant on the tree. I thought these would also be super easy to recreate. Again, here I'm using those Amazon clear Christmas ornaments and taking some gold metallic craft glue and the end of my paintbrush and dabbing some dots on the front of the ornament. Once this was dry, I simply cut some velvet ribbon and tied it into a bow. Now, one tip here when you're tying velvet ribbon into a plain bow, just make sure to flip that last loop over so that all of the velvet faces the front. This is going to give your velvet bow that higher end look. I glued this to the top front of my ornament, added some jute twine to hang it on top, and these look so pretty on my Christmas tree. I'm loving this shimmery, sophisticated look this year. Anthropologie's ribbon tabletop trees were one of my favorite finds this year. They're very whimsical and surprisingly easy to make. I used a foam cone from Amazon, as well as some green satin ribbon. At first, I decided to directly glue a strip of ribbon onto the base of my foam cone, pleating it and gluing it as I went. As I went along, I realized this is not going to work. The pleats look completely uneven. This looks like an absolute mess. So I decided to change my strategy. I cut the ribbon into small pieces, about two to three inches long, folded each piece and glued each piece separately, overlapping them around the cone. I did this in overlapping rows, and I love this look so much more. It looks a lot more structured and high end than my first attempt. And then when I got to the very top, I just made sure to cover that top point with some more ribbon. Then I tied a double bow with more of that green satin ribbon, glued it on top, and I love how this turned out. It makes the cutest tabletop display. I love the look of it stacked on some vintage books, or you could make a few in different sizes and group them in groups of three as a table centerpiece. These red wax bow candles are one of the prettiest things Pottery Barn has released for this holiday season. They're little white taper candles with sculpted red bows that look so sweet and would be the cutest for a table centerpiece or on your mantle. To make these, all I used was some white taper candles and some red wax strips. You can buy these on Amazon and sometimes you can find them at craft stores as well. I simply took one of these strips, cut it in half and warmed it up gently with my hands. Then I looped it into a bow shape and placed it where I wanted to on my white taper candle. Then I used a hair blow dryer to gently warm both the candle and the wax bow so that they would melt together. These look like designer candles, but they were so easy to make. They look so cute on the mantle. And imagine tying these with a velvet ribbon and giving them as a hostess gift this season. You could also change out the color of the wax strips and use these for really any season of the year. McGee and Co.'s vintage inspired holiday prints are so chic. I love the look of them, but you can easily recreate these with inexpensive prints. I found mine on Amazon, plus some frames from either the Dollar Tree or places like HomeSense. Simply add these prints to the frames. If you don't have a gold frame, you could use something like Rub and Buff to apply to a Dollar Tree frame. And I love how they look on my coffee station shelves. They add that vintage charm that I love during the holidays for a fraction of the price. Pottery Barn's gold framed ornaments inspired me to make my own. I found similar little mini frames from Amazon, and then I cut out small rectangles from my gingham sheet set, place them inside of the frames. Then I printed out some photos of our pets that are only about two inches by one inch, and then I layered these on top of the gingham fabric in the frame. Then I simply closed the frame and that's it to these DIY ornaments. They're so easy. And look how cute they look on my Christmas tree. These would also make great gifts. Or you could put a family photo in here and give them as gifts to your extended family. These add such a personal touch to my Christmas decor, and they were far less than the $20 each that Pottery Barn was charging. Now, I couldn't stop at those gingham ornaments. I wanted to recreate these adorable gingham stockings that Anthropologie has. I made them from that same Amazon bed sheet that I've been using for a lot of these crafts, and then I finished them with the gingham bows that I made earlier. To make these, I used my own Christmas stocking pattern that I have on my blog, CozyDIYHome.com. Cut out four pieces of the main stocking piece for the lining and the exterior of the stockings. Then I cut out two pieces from the gingham fabric. For the cuff and made sure that it bordered on the ruffled edge of my sheets for a sweet little finish. I sewed the lining and the outer part of the main stocking with my sewing machine. You could also use fabric glue or hot glue for this, leaving the top open. Then I sewed the cuff onto the exterior, placed the lining and the exterior right sides together and sewed everything around the top, making sure to leave a hole so I could flip everything right side out and stuff that lining inside. I also made sure to add a velvet ribbon loop on the top side of my stocking before I sewed them together so that there was something I could hang these with. Once I turned everything right side out, I hand stitched that top hole shut and then I pinned on one of those gingham bows. These look so similar to the anthropology stockings for a fraction of the price. Pottery Barn's velvet bow garland is absolutely gorgeous, but I think it's really expensive for what it is. I found deep red velvet ribbon on Amazon, and I'm simply going to create a whole bunch of double bows. Now, here's how I make my double bows. I'm cutting a piece of velvet ribbon that's about three feet long. I'm making sure to angle those ends with my scissors. Then I'm wrapping one end of the ribbon around my pointer finger three times, and then I'm holding my pointer finger and my thumb about three to four inches apart, depending on the size that you want the bow. Then I'm wrapping that ribbon two times around my pointer finger and thumb, pulling the end of that ribbon up and over the center of the loops, then wrapping it around and pulling it through that loop. Once I take these off of my hand and adjust all of the loops, look how cute these turn out. And they're so easy to create. Then I took a length of jute twine and simply hot glued several of these bows onto the twine. I hung this on my mantle, layering it over top of a faux greenery garland. And I love how this turned out. Such a classy Christmas look and so easy to make. Now let's make a gorgeous and glowing Christmas centerpiece. Pottery Barn has this bottle brush tree centerpiece for over $100. I'm creating a simpler version for a fraction of the cost. I simply glued some dollar tree bottle brush trees onto this scrap piece of two by two lumber. You could also use some driftwood or a branch for this project. Really, there's so many options. Once I glued the trees in place, I set this in the center of my table and wrapped some sparkling fairy lights around the trees. So simple, so gorgeous. I love how this turned out, and it looks especially beautiful in the evening. Let me know which of these designer dupe DIYs you like the best in those comments below. I would love to hear.
