Cute snowman! Just a tip, you can tea dye unbleached muslin fabric for an aged look for primitive fabric projects.

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you! I have tea dyed my muslin before but it never quite turned out as I had hoped it would. Maybe I didn’t get the tea strong enough or leave it in long enough I don't know, so I switched to the instant coffee and vanilla mixture because I can mix up a strong concoction of it.😂😁

[@EliaBachman-sm2gs]

Very nice, love the rustic primitive style.

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you!

[@valmarshall4849]

Totally adorable 😍

[@terryk5656]

Hes so cute. I think you did a great job of describing and demonstrating all the steps in making a little prim stuffie.

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you! I was worried that I didn’t go into enough detail about how to do each step. I'm not great at explaining what I'm actually doing so that's been a struggle for me.

[@beckygarcia4416]

That is one of the cutest snowmen I’ve seen. I’m going to try making one.

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you! You should totally do it! Much easier than you would think.

[@theresamiller996]

[@melonmahfood2439]

Not a big rustic fan, but your snowman is absolutely adorable!

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you! I'm a bit eclectic. Some of the things I like could be rustic, industrial, farmhouse, primitive or vintage. It always just depends on the item 😂

Thanks! You can totally leave the twine off if you want.

[@michellesmixedmediamadness]

Your snowman is adorable! I need to make a few! Thanks for sharing.

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you!

[@teresamcdaniel3554]

Turned out so cute! I think I might add some stick arms to him but he’s cute like he is. I really liked your “aging spray” , that worked so well. Thanks for sharing

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thanks Teresa! Great idea with the arms. Sticks would look super cute sticking out of his body.

[@fannydriscoll]

That turned out super cute!

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you Fanny!

[@tinainglima]

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you! You should try it! it's very easy!

[@SusanFarr-ff6ly]

Love your Sheldon! I made one last year. Can you please share your recipe with alcohol and coffee? Never heard of alcohol in the coffee staining recipe. I have trouble with my coffee staining. Thank you

[@chrismatheson4376]

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Absolutely! I like seeing how everyone gives them their own personality.

[@angelinahernandez9205]

[@silverfox7081]

What a superb video. As a first-time sewer, I really appreciate watching in realtime. I am a visual learner and appreciate you leaving your mistakes in (candy cane). Although "primitive" is not always my style, I enjoyed watching your video. I watched until the end.

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you so much! I was a little worried that it might get too long and boring because I'm also a very visual learner so I wanted to show as much of the process as possible. I figured people could fast forward if need be so thank you again for watching all of it.

[@terriallen2537]

Super Adorable ☃️😊

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you so much Terri! 😀

[@awaa1134]

I love him! Would you make one for me?

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you! Isn’t he fun?

[@AngelaPEvans]

I appreciate you showing in real time, it makes it better for me to understand and how you got the snowman together. He is cute. Love the pins and bells a lot better than just buttons. Where do you purchase your rusty bells, pins and snowflakes? Do you do them your self? If so can you share the process. Thank you.

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you! Yes I did rust the bells and safety pins myself. I put about 2 cups of hydrogen peroxide into a container and add about 4 tablespoons of vinegar along with 2 teaspoons of salt and then add the items I want to rust. Make sure to put it in a somewhat deep container because it will have a reaction that makes it foam up so be sure to put it into something that will contain it and not allow it to overflow. Also, you will get a better rusting result with the cheaper quality bells and pins that you get from Dollar Tree. They don't seem to have as much of a protective coating on them. I just leave them in the solution until I get the desired amount of rust. Again, it will all depend on how good the quality of your item is as to how fast it will rust. I hope this helps!

[@AngelaPEvans]

Thank you, your the best for taking the time to answer my question and also for the quick response and recommendations. God bless.

[@georgiannahiler4951]

You are awesome! Luv this❤ can you tell me the recipe for your spray solution please, so much nicer, thank you 😊

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you! For the coffee stain I just put instant coffee, imitation vanilla extract (both from Dollar Tree), warm water and a little bit of isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle. I don't really measure anything I just put the water in and then add the other ingredients. The rubbing alcohol is just to keep the coffee mixture from molding so it's just a small amount depending on the size of your spray bottle. If you're going to use the entire amount that you mix up on your project and not store it for any amount of time you can omit the alcohol. I hope this helps!

[@SusanFarr-ff6ly]

I found an answer to my question in the comments.

[@lucyscott736]

What a lovely snowman. Did you use anything in the bottom to make him sit straight and not fall over?

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thank you! No I did not add anything in the bottom. When you glue on the candy cane it helps stabilize it so it can stand on it's own.

[@tammydixon7910]

Just wondering… is there any reason why you couldn’t do the embellishments ( eyes, buttons, nose) before the cloth was sewn together and stuffed? It turned out so cute, though.

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Thanks Tammy! I think maybe it could get distorted when you’re stuffing it, but maybe not. I've never really thought about doing it like that. I think I might try that method though to see what happens. All I would be losing is a little bit of my time. Thanks for giving me something to think about!

[@denisepope8599]

The shape looks like a ketchup bottle. Cute though.

[@Peppercreekcottage]

Yes a little bit but with a short neck🤣
