Does the owner have a updated website....I am looking to buy wholesale finished primitive dolls and patterns?

Are these patterns possibly made by a company called "tagalongs"? Here's a link to a website that sells the "My Raggedy Kids" patterns.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!!


Does anyone have recipe or willing to share grunge recipe for making primitive dolls?

I am making primitive stars, dolls, etc., but I would love to have a recipe for making my crafts look old as the hills, and have a stiffened feel to them. I have used cinammon, and gesso, but seems like something else is missing. Thanks for your help.

well, i'm sure you've probably tried steeping things in tea. have you also tried using starch? it's worked well for my mom with her craft stuff. and instant coffee also works for aging stuff too.


Do you make your own prims,Where can i buy wholesale very very primitive dolls,bowl fillers etc ?

I have some leads,not nothing very exciting,but i am looking to make at least 40 - 50 % profit. on very prim dolls.Owners please get in touch with me.

I personally have made a few prim dolls, but they're not my favorites to make. If you're not getting very good leads on a product you'd like to sell, here's an idea for you to possibly try.

Since the weather is warmer, you're going to start seeing more craft sales, county fairs, flea markets, etc. You might go to some of these and check out the vendor's handmade items and if you see something you'd be interested in, ask the vendor if they sell wholesale, etc. I know a lot of people sell their handmade products to different sources in the winter than the summer months.


Does anybody make primitive soft dolls from muslin and stuffing?

I love this hobby and do it all the time, but I want a friend to chat with about this. It's just fun to have a friend with the same passion. If you want to be my sewing frind, email me. :)

Creative Soft Dolls is a Yahoo group that would fit your needs. see link #1 below

You will also find many friends at Dolls So Cool, Link #2

My personal favorite for primitive dolls is Primragdolls. (#3)

All these groups and many more are found in Yahoo Groups (Link #4)


Does anyone know about "Primitive" crafts and dollmaking?

I've also seen items called "grungy" crafts. I'm interested in learning how to make dolls, ornaments, and other aesthetically-pleasing decorations for different seasons and holidays that look not quite brand new. Any advice on how to start or where to begin?

Contact the Museum of Arts and Crafts in New York City. The museum is relatively new, but has a vast representation of local, primitive or folk art virtually representing every movement and era in this country.
