I’ve always had a soft spot for monkeys despite their notoriety for being cheeky pranksters. If you feel the same way, or want to give these critters another chance to tug at your heartstrings, check out these picks and DIY projects to add a little more monkey business to your life.
Joie (US) has the cutest fruit hanger I’ve seen in the form of this monkey banana tree holder to help your ’nanas stay fresher for longer. For more kawaii kitchen finds, Joie also has a monkey bag clip and a monkey banana storage pod.
You can never have enough plushies, so why not add this soft and adorable Bebicchichi character doll from ARTBOX (UK) to your collection? It comes with the most precious face, a bib, and a pacifier to make Bebicchichi all the more huggable.
Dip into the blind box craze (or dive even further) with Avartss’ (US) very own hand-sculpted clay drunky monkey blind box figures. There are four different figures that you could get at random, all with the silliest expressions and poses that are sure to add some cheer to your desk or display.
Now to the craftier side of things, you could also crochet your own set of couple monkey keychains using this monkey amigurumi tutorial from Crochet Go Studio. They’re perfect as little bag accessories, and you could also give one to your significant other.
If clay is more your thing, try making HoneyHeartStudios’ cute monkey clay charm using cold porcelain, with a tutorial covering the entire process from sculpting to glazing. Feel free to make your charm into a keychain, jewelry piece, or even add it to a decoden phone case.
Nail art is super pretty, but it can be intimidating to start if you want to try doing it on your own for the first time. Luckily, there are lots of beginner-friendly tutorials available, like this one for peek-a-boo monkey 3D polygel nail art from Nails By Key, complete with a sculpted monkey and pastel pinks & yellows. You can even add banana peels and/or slices for added playfulness.
