Decorate your home for Easter using primitive decorations. This is a look that is easy to create using old baskets, bowls and muslin rabbits.

Put a small, coffee stained muslin Easter bunny in a bowl with scented prim fixins around the base. You can also get a pip berry candle ring and sit your little muslin bunny in the middle of it.

Print some vintage Easter bunny cards and place in bowls around your home. You can spray these with cinnamon or vanilla spray to add some scent to your home's Primitive Decor.

Decorate your Primitive Kitchen with Easter eggs made from gingerbread. Simply use your favorite recipe for making gingerbread cookies and get out your Easter egg cookie cutter and make the cookies. Be sure to put a hole in the top to add some twine after the cookies have baked. You can decorate these or leave as is. Hang your Easter eggs along the top of your curtains making a neat little cookie valance in your kitchen window.

Put Primitive Easter eggs throughout your home in old wooden bowls and baskets. Use plastic eggs and wrap them in tea or coffee stained muslin to make them have that primitive look. Another Easter egg to display would also use plastic eggs and torn pieces of homespun and wrap around the egg making rag eggs instead of rag balls. If you do not have any plastic eggs you can use real hard-boiled eggs and stain them with coffee or tea but you will not be able to leave these out very long because of spoilage.

When decorating with Easter Primitives, stay away from the plastic green and pink grasses to put in your Easter basket and use moss or shredded paper that has been stained.
