There are all sorts of different crafts that you can do to make it a primitive craft. One classic example is making your own picture frame and decorating it. Most people don’t know how to make their own frame, so instead of literally making your own, decorate a pre made frame. Use many different colors like black, many shades of brown, and copper. Layer the colors and use a foam brush for everything but the bottom layer so that you can see the layers underneath.
Painting things like flower pots also is a great way to incorporate the theme. You can paint pictures or just use certain colors to make it seem rustic or earthy. The primitive theme doesn’t have to be completely earthy looking but just something that is outdoors like and something that you might imagine would be if you lived a long time ago.
