Hi guys! My name is Sammie & I am a homesteading wife, a homeschooling mom & a granny.
We live on a 10-acre small hobby farm in Oklahoma, we have 7 children with 4 still at home. We grow & process a majority of our meat supply & grow an organic garden which supplies us throughout the year by growing & preserving.
We are also blessed with many wild edibles growing on our land to forage, eat & to also use medicinally ~ I show you how to harvest, use & preserve some of them.
Thank for stopping by! We hope you enjoy our family channel & consider subscribing.

Great video! Thanks!
Thank you, my pleasure. Have a great weekend 😀
Honestly I had no idea! Cool
Thank you 🎀❤🌹
My kitties just showed up with a pair of rabbits feet- I was super unsure what to do but I saved them and put them in rubbing alcohol the other day. Thank you for this guide!
Awwwe... kitties.🤗 That was quick & smart thinking. (If you were wanting to preserve them, that is) You are more than welcome, my friend. Good luck. 👍
Would it work if I used air dried rabbit feet from the pet store?
And would borax substitute work instead of regular borax?
I wish I had these answers for you. All I can say is to give it a try. (On the air dried rabbit feet that is...)
I have never heard of Borax substitute. I would think that it would work, though.
Thank you bro thank you, local pet store here I come.
oh..your supposed..to hunt them or get already dead ones..
@@6Snake6Eyes666 I'm going to hope the person meant they go to a pet store to buy frozen rabbits that are for snake food💀
This was so interesting to watch the process you go through to make these. I loved the one with the wired stone, it was cute. I would have never thought to do this. I remember these when I was a child, everyone carried a Rabbit foot.
Yes! Thank you. It sure is fun to make them. I should probably learn to dye them but boy I sure like the natural look.
@@bluefeatherhomestead I like the natural look too, dyed would look fake to me.
Do you put them in the alcohol with the bone still in it?
Yes, absolutely.
How much do you charge for them at the markets?
It depends. Some of them have more embellishments and things. I usually charge $10.00-$15.00 for the necklaces and start at $5.00 for the keychains.
I told my husband I want meat rabbits this year and I will be watching your videos because I want to do everything you do with them!!! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!!! 😊💗
That's great! Yes or you can call or text me anytime. I've got a hide tanning video in the making. 😁😁😁 I actually need to can some to make room in the freezer 🎉🎉🎉........ViDeO....🎉🎉🎉
@@bluefeatherhomestead That is AWESOME!!! We just had to get another freezer because our half a cow we bought into just got processed!!! Woot-woot! Such a great feeling having meat in that freezer!! And we'd love to add some rabbit meat to it!! Whenever we get those I'll likely be reaching out to you, Sammie!! Thank you for that offer!! 😊💗And looking forward to that video on tanning the hides!!!
@@MtnGrandma woo hoo!!! 🐮 Yes that is such a great feeling for sure. I love being prepared & those rabbits can breed and have babies so quickly. They are a such a great addition to keep on the homestead.
Thanks my friend for that really interesting video nice tips much love my friend awsome job God bless yah
Thank you so much. I appreciate you both. ❤🙏
Is there any replacement for the borax? It doesn't seem like its available in my country
Ive got a few rabbit feet and would like to make something like this, they're very pretty! :D
Great question! Thank you for asking I have read that you don't even have to use Borax, that alcohol will be enough, just hang it in front of a fan to really dry it out afterwards. On the other hand, Borax is an anti bacterial chemical that inhibits the growth of bacteria in the feet. As they dry, it leaves microscopic borax crystals inside the muscle & tissue of the feet, making them 100% preserved from bacterial growth or rot. I hope this helps. Have a beautiful day.😊
This was a very interesting process!
😁❤👍💕🎀 Thank you Jan!
I havent watched the full video yet so i apologize if these questions are answered in the video, are these front and back feet or just one or the other? Also how much could i sell these for, like at a roadside stand setting.
No problem at all. Front feet, back feet, and tails are what I have used. Depends on what all you have on them for decoration. Some necklaces that I make, I will put on one of my wire wrapped crystals & I will charge $10.00 or $15.00. If no crystal and maybe some beads on them, I will charge $5.00 or so. Same with key chains.
Thank you for this video! Would you be able to make a video on how you wire wrapped the stones you add?
My pleasure & I would LOVE to make a video on that! Thank you for the request. I will absolutely work on it. Thank you. ~Sammie
@@bluefeatherhomestead great thank you !!
Looking forward to it!
Do you have an online store? If you would be willing to sell me a black rabbit foot keychain, I would like to buy one! 😊
Oh, thank you so much. I do not have a store, but I would love to mail you one. I don't dye them, but I have one that is mostly black. Please email me your address. Gristsammie@gmail.com ~Sammie
@@bluefeatherhomestead I will do so asap. That brings up a point, or rather an idea, I would like to run by you 🙂
Makes you wonder how lucky those feet were for the rabbits ...
Not so lucky for them 😞 I suppose.
You don’t seal the end of the rabbits foot?
Good question. No, I just glue whatever I'm using to cover it with. I hope this makes sense. 😬 if not, please let me know.
If we have 90% rubbing alcohol will that work?
Good question. Taxidermist recommend 70%, something to do with disinfecting the whole cell, rather than just the surface. That probably doesn't sound like it makes sense..... but it seems like I used 90% once and they all got super slimy so I have just stuck with 70% for anything that I am preserving.
I had no idea Sammie ! Thanks for sharing this process!
Thank you Lisa! I am a wanna be taxidermist. I have all kinds of these projects going on. 😬❤🤗👍🌹💕 Congratulations on your 1000!!! 🎉🙏🙌
@@bluefeatherhomestead do it! That’s awesome! Thank you so much!
You used to see these as key chains or hanging on car mirrors in my younger days. Good job.
Yes! Thank you. My #1 fan. 🏆 mom #2. They sure are fun to make.
Could this be done with a dog's paw
Absolutely
Can you also use the same process for raccoon feet?
Great question. I would say 99% yes, but there's that 1%........ I would try and do more research to be sure. (Or just give it a try, but chance losing your feet)
I am currently drying some raccoons feet after following this process. We shall see! So far there is no yucky smell. I left them in the borax bath for 72 hours though.
Do you preserve the tails the same way?
Yes ma'am, exactly.
I like what you doing
Well, thank you. 😊
This is awesome. Thank you!
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Kindred soul 😊

What does the Borax do in the process of making the charm?
Excellent question. Borax is an anti bacterial chemical that inhibits the growth of bacteria in the feet. As they dry, it leaves microscopic borax crystals inside the muscle & tissue of the feet, making them 100% preserved from bacterial growth or rot.
@@bluefeatherhomestead thank you so much for the info!💕
@@evillynn4166 Anytime, thank you for watching. 😀
@@bluefeatherhomesteadIsn't that what the alcohol is for?
😮
🙏✨️
if you don't have faith in Jesus, you are in trouble Beloveds ‼️ We are living in the end times, just look around! Everyone is comfortable in their own sins; it's gonna be a time where it'll be too late for many, but to those that don't want to perish in their sins, I'm telling you Beloveds. Get right with God NOW, Seek Jesus and Believe in Jesus and Repent! ❤️(p.s. yes ik my comment had nothing to do with the post but just think about where do you think your soul is going if you were to leave this earth rn, tm‼️)
Thank you 🙏
Omg go away. Why are Christians the only ones ON THE PLANET that push their god onto people??? Stay in your lane and do for yourself what you feel is correct for you. No one has any business trying to spiritually coerce others. Suuuuuuper inappropriate. Have the day you deserve, friend.
