Make this cute Anthropologie Inspired Heart Pillow for Valentine’s Day or any day! The neutral colors blend with any decor and it’s no sew!
This pillow is so fun and super simple to make. Seriously…if you can cut out hearts and iron, you are golden. This Anthropologie heart collector illow caught my eye right away when I was roaming around the Anthro website. It was love at first sight…until I saw the price. That’s when my mouth sort of fell open.

Cute right? But would you pay $198? Most likely your answer is NO! It looks to be made beautifully, and is linen with a down insert. It also measures 24 x 24 inches, which is huge. It would look amazing on a large chair, or as the center-point on a bed. My version is not as big. It’s 18 x 18 inches, and the total cost was under $15.00.
Anthropologie Inspired Heart Pillow Supplies Needed:
- Pillow cover
- Wonder Under
- Heart templates
- Scrap fabric for hearts
- Pencil
- My Favorite Iron
- Scissors
1.) Print your heart templates. I printed mine on cardboard so they were easier to trace. Cut out the sizes you want to use.
2.) Iron your Wonder Under to your piece of fabric. I used a scrap piece of fabric that measured about 15 x 20 inches. Let it cool.
3.) Trace your hearts on the Wonder Under.
4.) Cut them out, and peel off the paper back.
5.) Iron your pillow cover and then randomly place your hearts. When you have it just right, carefully press them onto the pillow cover.
If you look closely at the bottom corner of the Anthro pillow you will see that they stamped a little quote. I had no way of replicating that, so I used a piece of hand stamped ribbon on two of my hearts. I ironed them on with a piece of fusible tape.
So…what do you think? Clearly it’s not an exact copy. I loved the way the Anthro hearts were frayed around the edges. They were sewn on though before the pillow cover was assembled. My way was so much easier…and you have to admit you can’t beat the price. Until next time…
Ann, I like your pillow better and it’s easier to make.
Your Valentine pillow is cuter than Anthro’s. And Anthro’s is cute!
What an adorable pillow. I love it. Well done!
I’d never spend that on the Anthro pillow. I’m not just saying this — I really like yours, better. Theirs is a little to “ragged” for my taste, so I find your much more appealing.
Ann, Once again you poured your heart out and shared it with us with your heart pillow. You are so creative and generous to share your projects with us. Thank goodness there is your blog to read and keep us inspired during this cold, crazy winter.
You are our sunshine when the clouds block it from above.
Thank you for sharing your time and inspirations with us.

Oh my Deborah…you are more than welcome. I love what I do and I am so thankful there are readers like you out there! ~Ann
To reiterate what has been said, I’m digging yours better. While I like shabby, the anthro is a little too shabby for my liking! Yours is a winner.
Perfect no sew project!! I really do like your rendition better…great job once again!! Thank you
Your pillow is great and I like it much better than the Anthro one. I do sew and enjoy it, I’d be delighted if you throw in some sewing projects!
OK! I will see what I can come up with. Thanks for letting me know!
I ♥ it! Turned out adorable!
I would take your pillow over the Anthro pillow any day!…It is so beautiful and I love how you placed the cute “message” on it too!
Your pillow is so sweet, Ann!! Love the stamped ribbon you added. Your creativity is always perfection!

Love your version! Thank you! Love your blog…..found you recently.. ..please don’t stop writing!
Ann – I think I actually like your version bette, or maybe its just the cheap side coming out and I cannot imagine paying $200 for a pillow. I love that stamped tape message you added. So cute. Thanks for sharing my friend. xxoo
Sorry to the retailer, but I like your version much better! I certainly would not pay $198 for a pillow, even if it is larger like theirs. I’m of the mind to have things with a finished look and thiers doesn’t do it for me.
Your version is really cute and has a more finished look to it. I like the way you come across these projects and make them simple and looking very fashionable! Kudos to you Ann!
Beautiful, as always. Love your version. Always enjoy seeing your ideas!!!
I love your version the best. It is much classier looking. I love your ideas and decorating style also.
Pretty! Love your version.
Ann, I happen to like yours a whole lot better that Anthro’s!! I much more beautiful, crisp and doesn’t look like it’s falling apart. I’m going to try this in the coming week when my grandson are in school.
Thanks for sharing and I love visiting your website. Take care and God bless.
Seriously, your version is so lovely! I’m like you, I’d never pay the Anthro price for a pillow! I love your how-to posts…thanks for the inspiration!
Ann, I seriously like yours better! What a fabulous idea! Your little “I love you” ribbons just makes the whole thing!!!! What an amazingly easy NO SEW with a whole lot of decor punch! This is on my must-try list!
I love it and the cost. I think I might just have the skills to try to make one.
LOVE!….you do inspire me Ann….Thank you!
I actually like your version of the heart pillow to that by Anthropologie. Thanks for sharing, Ann.
