Primitive country style is a very specific type of rustic decor featuring primitive-looking objects that have an antique appearance. They are usually quite natural and simple in construction. If you have a friend or loved one who likes primitive country decor, there are many ways to incorporate that into a gift for them. - Choose primitive country candles as gifts. The candles of this style can be paired tapered candles that are still attached at the center by the wick, grubby candles that appear lumpy and dark colored, or candles imprinted with primitive country images.
Candle holders also are popular items that are created in primitive country style. Choose copper- or tin-punched candle holders with rough edges and an unpolished appearance. The basic idea is to have a candle holder that looks as if it could have been made by pilgrims with limited supplies. - Choose wooden cutout figures made from both wood and wire, as they are common in primitive country decor.
Apple baskets and crates are wonderful quilt storage containers that could add to the theme of the primitive decor in your loved one's home. Consider filling a crate or bushel basket with smaller knick knacks to create a themed gift basket. - Give small wooden signs with a primitive country-painted design on them as a gift. Cranberry or juniper berry wreaths can add a bit of the outdoors while keeping with the primitive idea and they work well with most color schemes of the decor style.
Small dolls made of canvas, burlap or wood with hemp-fiber hair are great for hanging on walls. You can find many of them with a spiraled decorative wire especially attached for hanging on walls.
