π§‘ Why I Love Making Miniature Fruits
Miniature fruits are perfect for:

- Creating cool art projects π¨

And since my mom made them for me first, it became our special DIY time together. π
π― Materials Youβll Need
Before we start, gather these things:
- Colored clay or playdough (red, yellow, green, orange, purple)
- Small craft tools or toothpicks
- A clean surface to work on
- Optional: acrylic paint and tiny brushes for details
- A little bit of water to smooth the clay
π Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make Miniature Fruits
1. Choose Your Fruit
Pick a fruit you want to create β like an apple, banana, orange, or grapes.
2. Shape the Base
Use the colored clay to form the basic shape of your fruit. For example:
- Round ball for an apple or orange
- Long and curved for a banana
- Small spheres grouped together for grapes
3. Add Details
Use a toothpick or craft tool to make tiny lines or textures:
- Little dots on a strawberry
- Curves on a banana peel
- Segments on an orange slice
4. Smooth the Surface
Dip your finger in a bit of water and gently smooth the clay to make it look neat and shiny.
