Get Crafty: Creating Primitive Rustic Home Decor with Thrift Store Finds!
Are you ready to get crafty?
Today I am sharing some beautiful primitive rustic home decor craft ideas using items I picked up at the thrift store!
Even if primitive and rustic decor isn't your style, you'll still get some crafting inspo with some of the fun techniques I use that you can apply to your own crafting style!
These are budget-friendly crafts using thrift store finds, or items you might already have on hand.
The possibilities are endless with the techniques I share in this video to apply on a variety of surfaces to create vintage primitive style containers and jars to use on your coffee bar, hutch or shelves.
I can't wait for you to see these ideas! If you love homespun, rustic decor with a dash of cinnamon, you'll love these ideas!
So grab yourself a cozy blanket, and a hot tea, sit back, relax and let the crafting fun begin!

Oh Jen I love everything you create!!!!! Thank you
The little punched “lamp” was awesome!
Love all of these, this is how I decorate.
Love the tin. My favorite as well.
Good morning, nothing like a beautiful morning, a warm cup of coffee and cafting with Mother Thyme😊
Good morning!☕️ Your are so sweet! 🤍
Aww, thank you!@@MotherThyme
❤️❤️❤️
I love all the projects but I really love the lamps cool
Love this technique 😍
You can make magic, with cinnamon and coffee 🥰
Yes!😉
I love the vintage Santa tin!
I’m so glad you love that too!
Wow, What the way the cans turn out good job thank you for sharing ❤
Wow! I did not know where you were going with the cinnamon and the mod podge, Jenn! But, your primitive vinette turned out so pretty! Love it! ❤
Beautiful! You are so incredibly talented! I love that little lamp!! ❤
Ha! I always get a kick out of the fact that you leave all your beautiful jewellery on while doing these messy techniques! Love the outcome of all the mess!!! ❤
LOL! Yes, it gets messy! It’s funny to watch back at the beginning it’s all tidy and by the end it’s a hot mess! 😉
Wow! I’m so impressed! The tin is my fave too. These look like something you would find in a decor store but double or triple the price.
Thank you for the ideas for my old tins! I love all your crafts!❤
So glad to see you back crafting! I’m a primitive gal so I’m glad you are doing this! Love them all!❤
Yay! I’m so happy to hear! I’ve got more coming up too! 😉🤍
@@MotherThyme Great!
Great craft ideas, and the smells of cinnamon and coffee an extra bonus too. Sooo cute!
Yes! They smell so good!
Terrific ideas! I love that you took some discarded tins and turned them into primitive works of art! So clever! ❤
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
Mymom had those goose canisters. Good memories!
Awwww! I love it!
Beautiful! Love the little Lamp!❤
Thanks! I love how the little lamp turned out too! It’s so cute!
Hello Jenn, wow everything turned out soooo beautiful I love the vintage look. Thank you for sharing. Mary❤
Thanks Mary! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
The best by far is the last one!
Thanks! I love that one too!
My favorite is the Lamp, the two items added together are Perfect...
Thanks! I love how that worked out! It was meant to be!
I agree with you, the molasses cookie tin is also my favorite!! Loved it all!!!
I’m so glad you love the molasses tin too!
@@MotherThyme it looks so realistic!!!!
I love everything ❤️ shared the love
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
Perfection Jenn!❤

I’m so happy you love that!
Just ❤ the background music! Sooo relaxing!
I’m so glad you enjoy it!🤍
Oh my Jenn, how awesome.. My whole home is primitive. I absolutely love the ideas. I can't pick a favorite, but if you wake up some day and all your prim things are gone, they will be at my house.. 🤣 Thanks for the inspiration 😊 Have a wonderful day ❤
Hi! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! I would love to see all your primitive decor! I bet it’s so cozy! 🤍
You are a talented crafter!🖌🖤🤎
You’re so sweet, thank you!
You can use either PVA or school glue in the place of modpodge and get those effects. I love how you did these. I had some of those exact tins, but they got lost when I moved, but, I have several other tins that I can up cycle into these.
The little lamp is so cute I love it
Thanks! I love how that turned out!
Loved them all😍
Thanks! I’m so glad you do!
Love them ❤
Thanks! I’m so glad you do!
I'm so excited. Your diy projects are what brought me to your channel. 🎉
Hi! I’m so happy to hear! I’ve got more coming soon too! Have a great day!
Hi Jenn, what great diys. I love them all, but my favorite is the last one. The lamp. I save all my jars and tins that would make good diys. There is a channel I love to watch. She does a lot of a coffee grunge. Diys, her channel is My Sweet Home Living with Tracey Campbell. I love all you do Jenn. This was one of my favorite. I have been going through box's, trying to get rid of a lot of stuff. And I have a set of 3 of the tins with the Geese on them. I put them in the give away box, but not I going to get them out. Lol. Love you Sweet Friend. Have a Blessed Week. 🤗 ❤
Hi! Thanks my friend! I adore Tracey too! Have a blessed day! 🤍
Hello Jenn I’m glad you’re back to crafting… I loved them all but I would have to say the tall tin can was my favorite too… 😊
Hi! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! I have another crafting video coming up Monday! The tin turned out great! I’m glad you loved it too!
Hi Jen love em all but the candle at the end is cute
I love that too! I was unsure what I was going to do and it turned out better than I expected.
Omg! I love this ! Absolutely gorgeous
Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
Hi Jenn, great crafting! Everything looks great on your hutch. I will definitely be making these. Thanks so much for the inspiration and instructions. Thanks for sharing. 🙏❤️
Hi Judy! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! It was so fun to give these pieces a makeover. Have a lovely evening my friend! 🤍
All of the things you made are so cool! I think I love that lamp the best and then the jar with the parchment paper! Soooo pretty! They look amazing, especially on your hutch! Thanks for sharing! ❤❤❤
Thanks my friend! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
Oh my goodness Jenn! I absolutely love these primitive crafts! Have been waiting for your crafting videos to return, and I am so excited to try these primitive crafts as primitive decor is my style☺️ I previously made your primitive fabric sun flowers, the fabric lemons in the basket and really loved making them! I am just so excited to make these primitive container crafts! Thank you so much -I love what you do! I will look forward to what crafts you show us next! LaRay in Montana☺️🏔️
Hi! I’m so glad to hear you love my craft ideas and have made a few! I’ve got more crafting videos coming up too! 🤍
Love how all of these turned out! ❤
My favorite is also the square tin. Great job! When I go thru my tubs to downside I always regret it later on. I had so many tins! I'm pretty sure that I still have a few.
Thanks! I’m so glad you liked that one too!
Jenn, I loved them all! I will try this technique. Thank u for sharing your talent with all of us.
Hi! Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed this!
Great job 🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻
Thanks!❤️
All of the pieces fit in nicely with the vignette you put together at the end. I love the black lamp and what a great accidental discovery putting it together with the little jar. Your nails always look perfectly manicured, but I must say that I loved seeing you "playing in the dirt"!!😂
Thanks! I’m so happy you enjoyed this! It was so fun! 😀
Looove any project u do!🩷..these r adorable
Thank you! 🤍 I’m so happy you enjoy my ideas!
I will be on the hunt for all different sizes of tins to make over using your technique. Thank you for sharing!!
Yay! I’m so happy to hear! These are so fun to make!
I went to my favorite local thrift store today and I got 8 tins to make over. I couldn’t stop thinking about how cute yours turned out! Again thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous little lamp! All the projects adorable!
Thanks! The lamp is so cute! I love how that turned out!
❤ Very wonderful projects! Thank you!
Thanks so much!🤍
WOW! SO COOL!
Thanks so much!
I am so happy to see new crafts from you!!!! These are all just amazing! Thank you for sharing!! ❤❤❤🐝💛🐝🖤🐝💛
Hi! Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! More coming soon too!
A beautiful Spring morning crafting with Jenn. Very cool crackle containers and homespun jars. The lamp is awesome. Blessings and love. Sherry 🥰 🙏 💞
Hi! Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed this!
Good morning! I love your craft videos. ❤
Hi Lori! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!
love the crafts
Thanks! I’m so happy you do!
I have made prim jars and cans from literal garbage. Pickle jars, vegetable cans etc. Great way to upcycle. I use coffee grunge mixture and sprinkle cinnamon. If you use instant coffee and mod podge together and paint it on, it gives it a deeper color and texture. I love making prim crafts.
I love that you enjoy making primitive crafts too!
Just love watching all your ideas come together so beautifully! Thanks for all the inspiration! LOVE, LOVE your channel and look forward to the next video! Oh, and I can’t forget to comment on what a sweet hubby you have! ❤
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Wayne’s a great guy and so helpful with all my projects too!
My kitchen was decorated using ducks like the ones on the tins you bought back in the 80’s.
Awww! I love that!
I am a relatively new subscriber. This is my first crafting video with you. It was great!
Hi and welcome! I’m happy you found my channel and so glad you enjoyed this!🤍
I can't wait to get started using some of these techniques. This is an excellent way to use up expired cinnamon. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this!🤍
Awesome video. I loved all of your projects. So so CUTE!!
Thanks! I’m so happy you enjoyed this!🤍
That little lamp is adorable!!!!! Love your primitive crafts! (I thought I wrote a comment earlier, but now I don't see it .... not sure what happened?! 🤔). Anyway, great to see you crafting again ~ great job! 👏👏👏
Thanks! The lamp turned out so cute!
Jenn, so cute. I'm heading to the garage. I have a crate full of tins!!!!!! Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your channel. Pam/Florida
Hi Pam! Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed this!
Great video,thanks Jen. I really enjoy your channel. I bet those canisters smell really good too besides being great prim. decor. Thank you for your you tube work and your upbeat personality. Wish you were my neighbor😊

You’re awesome! I love this!
Hi Cindy! Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed this!
Love these ideas. I would love to make a few of these to sit near my vintage grocery produce scale. Definitely will be looking for cool tins & jars at garage sales
I love that idea! These would look so cute near your scale.
Love watching your videos. Such an inspiration. I would love to see some diys that are not so primitive. More geared toward your decor style we see in your home everyday.
Hi! Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! I have more crafting/diy videos coming soon!😉
You did a great job transforming these items to look Primitive. So cute how you displayed them.
Hi! Thanks! They were so fun to make! I’m glad you enjoyed this too! Have a great evening!
Jenn, you are becoming one of my favorite places to visit. I may not make some of these things… but they are inspiration ideas for others. Enjoy the sunshine today!🌷
Hi! I’m so happy to hear you enjoy my videos! 🤍
Thank you Jenn!
You’re welcome!
You really go "rustic" ... love the look for kitchens and dining rooms.... the lamp was a genius idea....sometimes that's how things happen!!!! TYFS ❤😊
Hi! Thanks! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! I love how that cute little lamp turned out too!
Loved the crafts,,how I have to found some tins now.
Hi! I’m so glad you enjoyed this!🤍
23:39 very cool. You are very artistic.
You’re so sweet, thank you!🤍
I love primitive decor!! My favorite is the little lamp!! It's so cute 😊
Hi! I’m so happy you liked that too! I was using that little jar for my mod podge, next thing I know it’s the base for the cutest lamp! I love how it turned out!
Good morning Jenn I am just obsessed with the diy rust!!!! But that little lamp is just to sticken adorable!!!!! There is a beautiful candle at the end of your video may I ask where you found it? I definitely miss your crafting videos but I love all you do!!!! Have a fabulous week ahead!!!!
Hi Cindy! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! The lamp turned out so cute. Is it the plug in candle next to the molasses tin?
I still have two of my moms duck tins, they hold tea bags
Awww! I love it!
❤😊😊😊
Jenn...please don't miss the very popular trend of IOD's products! It makes your crafty time so easy! And, there are other companies offering same products, because they make beautiful projects.😊
Hi! I’ve used them before too! They are so pretty on crafts too!

I’m so glad you love the lamp too! It’s so cute!
Perfect timing, just say down with coffee. Love your channel
Good morning! Perfect timing!☕️🤍
Not my decor… but WOW you did a fabulous job!! I’ve been a sub for a long time and I love your videos and the way you decorate. I get lots of inspiration from you! TYFS! ❤
Hi! Thanks so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed this! 🤍
Where did you get the can for the lamp ... I love primitive the most...great video...enjoyed alot
Prim lover here🤎🤎🤎
Love the technique you used to achieve the primitive What kind of candle bulbs are those? I'd like to swap out my bulb 💡 for those they're so primitive ❤
Hi! I love those bulbs too. I actually got them at a local shop.
Love how they turned out. Also, love the wood sheep in your display. Is it available anywhere?
Hi! Aren’t the sheep the cutest?! I got those years ago at a local shop but I found them online too! 😉allysonsplace.com/collections/primitive-decor/products/copy-of-black-grannys-check-swag-72x36
Repurpose My Way is another you tuber that does primitives also, she uses a combination of spices AND coffee for her rustic material along with the mod pods. I think she calls it her grunge mixture.
Yes! I love the combo. I’ve been sharing crafts using those items for years. I love the texture it creates in projects.
How do you stop the paint from chipping off the rim of the can when you take the lid on & off? I have tried just about every sealer there is to keep it from chipping and/or the lid sticking. I usually end up throwing away the lid because it never works no matter what I do.😢
Hi! I don’t usually have a problem however I’m usually not taking the lids on and off a lot for any chipping to occur. I usually just use these to tuck on shelves to be decorative.
🤎🤎🤎
essa técnica é um pouco nojenta 😒
I love watching your channel, and all the sweet finds when you go thrifting😍 I just can’t get into the primitive look😉getting items to have the “old rusty look” gives me the Heebee Jeebee’s 🫣 🙃 I do love all your other content though👍🏼💕
Thanks! I have a new thrifting video coming up Friday! I can’t wait to show you my new treasures!😉
