Pottery Barn Blue Textile Knockoff Art
Today we have Roxanne taking over the Rockstar DIY stage! Roxanne is the knock off queen. She will be showing us how to create these beautiful knock off Pottery Barn Blue Textile prints for much less. If Roxanne sees something from a high end store, she has the super power to create a knock off for 1/10th the price or less! She recently knocked off a $695 Restoration Hardware capiz chandelier for only $52!
You can do the math, but I know that’s a real steal.
Roxanne, is the talented DIYer behind The Honeycomb Home blog. She can frequently be found turning her cookie cutter home into a beautiful home on a budget. Please welcome the dynamic Roxanne to the stage!
I was recently browsing my favorite website, Pottery Barn, and noticed this set of beautiful Framed Blue Textile Art. I loved the wooden frames and the blue fabrics, but not the price! They sell for $169 for one, or $334 for the pair! I realized this would be very easy to knock-off for a fraction of that price.
To re-create this look, I ordered fabric samples from Calico Corners. To make this work, you will need the larger sized samples. Average size samples are usually around 5.5″ squared. The larger versions at Calico are 27″ X 18″. I always prefer to order the larger size because its hard to get a good sense of how it will look in the room from the small size. Here is a picture of the small sample versus the large.
I found two beautiful wood frames at Michael’s, which are normally priced $29.99, I scored them on sale for $10 each, it was a steal! I bought them in size 16″ X 20″, which is a little smaller than the Pottery Barn frames.
These frames didn’t come with mats so I had to purchase those separately. I ordered them online from Amazon, and I got 2 for under $10. I ordered several different fabric samples from Calico, but the two I ended up using are called Begonia Midnight (that’s the floral pattern) and Briza Nate Berkus fabric in Lagoon (Yay Nate!). The larger samples cost between $7-$11 dollars each. It’s much less expensive than ordering an entire yard of fabric.
Once I had all my pieces, I ironed the fabric and then assembled them in the frames.
The best part is, if I ever get tired of either of these fabrics or color choices, it’s inexpensive to just switch them out for something else. I already have a few more samples that I picked up for another project.
For my two Pottery Barn Inspired Wall art prints , I spent a total of 43.75! which is $290.25 less than if I bought them from Pottery Barn!
A big thanks to Brittany for letting me share my project with you today! You can visit my blog, The Honeycomb Home here. If you’d like to see more Knock-off’s that I’ve done, you can check out my Restoration Hardware Knock-off Chandelier (for under $30!).

Beautiful, amazing and oh so frugal! Thank you for sharing your talents Roxanne! Stay tuned for more Rockstar DIY series performances:

Great idea!! Thank you for the tutorial!
Love the knockoff! They look great in your wall!

I like your fabric choice more than Overstocks. I have always heard of wallpaper in frames, but never fabric. The fabric must add some extra texture. Thank you for sharing!
All those knock off’s were great, but really loved the pics you did..
and what a great savings…………………you are a smart cookie.
Great job and thanks for sharing these neat piceces.
Blessings, Nellie
Very nice!
Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!

I never would have thought of framing a piece of fabric. It looks great! I’ll keep the technique in mind for future projects.
What an ingenious idea. I’ll be keeping an eye out for some good deals on frames so I can make some myself!
Roxanne, this turned out great! I love the idea of using fabric in frames since they are easily interchangeable.
Love this idea and it turned out GREAT!! Hint: go to Joann’s or any fabric shop and look in the quilting fabric section for “fat quarters” which are 18 inches x 20 inches and typically around $2.00 each piece. Usually in color coordinated lots if you want to go nuts and buy a bundle. 🙂 Not that I have ever done that or anything. Gotta get over to Michael’s for supplies! 🙂 Thanks!!
Fabulous job Roxanne! It almost seems ridiculous what they charge for those. Yours looks just as beautiful and love how you can change up the fabric.
This turned out so pretty! What a simple knockoff.
Yes! I love these, and though most of the time I’m pretty quick to come up with my own DIY solution, I just never thought to do this. Thanks for sharing the idea!
What a fantastic knock-off! I love the fabric you chose, and the fact that these can be changed up whenever the mood strikes! Pinning this one!!
Thanks so much for sharing, Brittany! I hope you are feeling well!
