Just follow the simple step-by-step photos and instructions to create darling characters, ranging from small trinkets to larger home accessories, including:

25 itty-bitty and ridiculously cute charms, earrings, brooches, and figurines of Popsicles, macarons, French toast, waffles, bacon and eggs, donuts, tacos, sloths, unicorns, and more.
15 adorable midsize pieces, such as plant holders, desk accessories, and ring holders in the shapes of llamas, hedgehogs, whales, jellyfish, and more.
10 large “showstopper” pieces, such as a rainbow soap dish, fairy garden, penguin tic-tac-toe game, and robot paper clip holder.

With information to get you started, including techniques on softening the clay, color mixing, and baking, Crafting Cute will have you delightfully sculpting in no time.

Dani Banani is a mixed-media artist, maker, and entrepreneur based in the Pacific Northwest.

During this time Dani has developed her brand, Funusual Suspects, into one of the top shops on Etsy, with over three hundred products, and her work has been featured on BuzzFeed, House Beautiful, Popular Science, the Seattle Times, the Pickler & Ben show, the DING YouTube channel, and Hive Handmade, among many other online and media sources.
