Clay So Cute!: 21 Polymer Clay Projects for Cool Charms, Itty-Bitty Animals, and Tiny Treasures

by Sherri Haab

Clay So Cute! shows how one of the easiest mediums—polymer clay, which need only be baked in the oven—can be sculpted into quick, simple, totally fun jewelry and accessories for tween girls—including bangles, pocket mirrors, earrings, chunky bead necklaces, and cute charms.

Clay So Cute! teaches simple, step-by-step illustrated techniques to make 21 tween- and teen-friendly projects that are more sophisticated than "kid stuff," but trendier than the pieces found in adult clay books—from robot key chains to polka-dot ponytail holders. Using only a few simple tools and updated colors, Sherri Haab has created a collection of eye-catching jewelry and accessories that crafty girls will love. Whether making them yourself or with mom or a friend, there's a project in here that you won't be able to resist—and that all the girls in your class will want, too!

Book geared toward tweens with lots of different projects and enough instruction on technique for success. It shows mostly jewelry projects—would have been great to include more diverse projects for those who aren't interested in rings and charms. But a decent book for kids to take a look at.

Meh

Expected more but i guess this is a great starter book for younger ones who are getting in to polymer clay

I guess I must not have read the description, because I missed that it was targeted towards tweens. There were a couple cute projects, but for the most part it is a book for those who have never worked with polymer clay before.
It might be great for tweens, but for a 29 year old looking to start working with polymer clay, it wasn't for me.

This book has a great variety of different adorable polymer clay projects to make including different types of pendants, rings, earrings, characters, food, beads, bracelets charms, etc. One of my favorite polymer clay books to refer to so far in my collection..

I didn't realize this was a book for kids when I got it. A lot of the projects are very cute, but it's a little childish, even for me.

It's been years since I've done any polymer clay work, but there are some cute ideas in this book. It is, however, aimed at young teens, maybe even 8 to 12 year olds.
