Primitive Pumpkin Bed Spring
Usher in the cool days of fall with a primitive pumpkin bed spring craft. Yes, I realize it is July, but as a crafter who sells her crafts, it is never too early to begin making seasonal items. Bed springs have always been a favorite “junk” find of mine. I have made a variety of […]

Paint an old window shutter into a primitive pumpkin shutter for fall and Halloween decor. Not a painter? No problem. This is a primitive project, and crisp straight lines are not required. Except for the drying […]
Pumpkin Lids It’s that time of year again when the potential for pumpkins seems to be everywhere. I found these old pot lids in my stash of junk. Painted orange, they immediately started their transformation to fall decor. A primitive face gave them their personality… …then I added a few bottle caps spelling out the […]
Primitive Halloween Witch Wands I collect a lot of junk that I think I will eventually use for new projects, but until I sorted, organized and packed for our move I never really realized how much of any one thing I had hoarded collected.

Halloween Potion Bottles I forgot I even had these bottles until I was packing to move. I think they were a yard sale find from years ago. I wasn’t sure what I would do with them then so they ended up in a bin and were forgotten. Thanks to The Graphics Fairy, I found the […]
