Primitive Easter Decorations
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.

Filed under: Christmas Primitives, Decorating With Primitives, Seasonal Primitives

Homemade cards, individually made tree decor for other family members, ornaments being baked using a mixture of flour and water for dough, and all the festive but still simple breads and cookies and cakes that were made with pride with recipes that had been handed down for generations.

Primitive Christmas Stockings
Primitive Christmas stockings are a great way to decorate at Christmas. Primitive Christmas stockings have a look and feel of homemade, old time stockings and are usually cut from fabric and roughly sewn. They are very charming and add a nice warm, country feel to your home at Christmas time. Many of these primitive Christmas stockings have simple designs. They are made with gingerbread men, simple Christmas trees, snowmen, and presents.
If you are looking for a nice homely feel to your home at the holiday then primitive Christmas stockings are just the thing to cheer the place up. Some of these stockings are as simple as finding a nice Christmas print and sewing it as a long sock. These are very cute and hang nicely on the mantel.
An Old Fashioned Christmas – Christmas Tree Skirts
If you're looking for the perfect addition to that country Christmas setting you want for your home this year consider purchasing a primitive tree skirt or, if you're creative and crafty, making one of your very own. The typical primitive Christmas tree skirt is just like the ones your mother or grandmother probably used around the tree when you were a child. It is composed of eight or more panels, sewn together in a circle with a slit opening in the back to make it easy to wrap around the Christmas tree stand.
Make Your House a Home with Primitive Christmas Ornaments
A lot of Christmas decorations you see are bright and flashy. Maybe covered in glitter or made to look like cartoon characters and so on, but that's not a look everyone wants for their home or tree. A great way to add a cozy feeling to your home this holiday season is by decorating with Primitive Christmas Ornaments. They're a great way to take a step back in history and remember a simpler time.
Everything was once made with objects that were lying around the house; scraps of fabric, buttons, empty thread spools. Care was put into each ornament as it was hand crafted into stars, trees, or even snowmen. Children even got in on the crafting. Their work was slow and deliberate. You can often tell the look of a primitive style piece by it's simplicity in design, blanket stitches, and inclusion of Earth toned colors.
Primitive Christmas Trees
When you already have primitive decorations in your home you cannot go without exhibiting an amazing Primitive Christmas tree during the holidays! Having a primitive Christmas tree is the perfect way to simplify and add to your primitive holiday décor. Primitive Christmas trees cost relatively as much as other Christmas trees and will compliment the other primitive features of your home.
Primitive Christmas trees are available in several different sizes, shapes and colors; making it effortless to flatter your primitive kitchen, living room or even bedroom! When using small primitive Christmas trees you can combine two or three to really give your room some added dimension.
Primitive Christmas trees bring back old memories of Christmas long ago and summon you to enjoy the simplicity Christmas has to offer. Once you are stringing popcorn to hang on your primitive Christmas tree you will appreciate how your family is what Christmas is really all about.
