Where can you find Primitive craft ideas online?

Question

I am interesed in doing some rustic, americana, primitive crafts. Does any one know of any sites that are helpful in this?

Answer 1

You can get a lot of ideas just looking at Ebay or Etsy (search Primitive). Sorry, I can't remember the site I know that had patterns for sale. A google search for "Primitive patterns" or "americana crafts" would be a good start. People do sell patterns and there are some free ones online. Be prepared to buy some tea and/or coffee if you're doing dolls, so you can stain them darker.

I love primitive things, too...dolls mostly. Good luck!

Answer 2

I am not too sure what you are calling primitive?? spinning? weaving? wood working? pottery making? knapping?

You might get some ideas from this site that I find totally fascinating:
