What’s the difference between a Pod Doll and a Steampunk Mini?

Pod Dolls are nature-themed creatures handcrafted from real acorns, pinecones, and dried botanicals. Steampunk Minis are small mechanical figures made from gears, buttons, and reclaimed metalwork.

What’s the difference between “Adopt a Friend” and “Make a Friend”?

Adopt a Friend is finished pieces ready to come home with you. Make a Friend is DIY kits that include all materials and instructions to craft your own.

Are DIY kits suitable for beginners?

Yes! Each kit is labeled Beginner, Beginner+, or Intermediate. Beginner kits include pre-started pieces to make starting easier.

How long does a DIY kit take to make?

Most beginner kits take 2–4 hours. Intermediate kits take 4–8 hours. Each kit includes time estimates.

What materials do you use?

Pod Dolls use foraged or sustainably sourced acorns, pinecones, dried flowers, and natural fabrics. Steampunk Minis use brass, copper, and reclaimed hardware.

Will my Oakoryn look exactly like the photo?

Each piece is one of a kind. Slight variations in color, texture, and shape are part of the craft.
