Twice the Cute, Twice the Fun

No one does cute like Japan. And the current kings (or are they queens?) of cute, Aranzi Aronzo, have helped make kawaii a global phenomenon. Revitalizing an international do-it-yourself craze with their many clever, cuddly mascots and adorable tchotchkes, the curious duo have become a mainstay in the craft community with more than ten books currently available in English.

After a successful intercontinental craft caravan, Aranzi Aronzo returns to the U.S. with their most valuable publication ever–The Cuter Book. Twice the size of their debut hit The Cute Book, this new release collects dozens of lovable new mascot patterns, each accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions. Along with the many goofy characters featured in The Complete Aranzi Hour, The Cuter Book features a number of holiday-themed mascots sure to be a hit this winter.

Make no delay: with Halloween and the holidays just around the corner, there’s no better time to brighten someone’s day with one of the many charmers found in The Cuter Book.

Maybe it’s the characters’ snarky attitude or the combination of “scary” and “cute” that explains the phenomenal popularity of the book. Perhaps it’s a fortuitous by-product of the nation’s current fascination with all things Japanese. Or it could be a resurgence in crafting not seen since the days of Michelangelo has overtaken America. Whatever the reason, people just cannot seem to get enough of Aranzi Aronzo and The Cute Book, which has recently gone into an astounding fifth printing. Find out for yourself why bookstores and libraries across the United States cannot keep this irresistible book on the shelves by running out and getting a copy of your very own. And make sure you pick up Aranzi Machine Gun, Volumes 1-3, Fun Dolls, Cute Dolls, and The Bad Book as well, before it’s too late.
