“Shitty Craft Club” is an absolutely glorious and incredibly refreshing take on the world of crafting and creativity. Sam Reece, the comedic genius behind the TikTok sensation, offers a hilarious and empowering guide that encourages you to embrace chaos, find inner calm, and unleash your inner artist, no matter how unconventional or "shitty" your creations may seem.

This book is a delightful departure from the traditional crafting guides, as it celebrates the spirit of trying your best show more rather than pursuing perfection. With a whimsical mix of step-by-step instructions and side-splittingly funny anecdotes from Sam Reece's life, it's a crafting journey that's as weird, wild, and wonderful as you want it to be. Imagine the nihilistic humor of millennial/Gen Z culture, the offbeat crafting style of Amy Sedaris, and a generous sprinkle of Lisa Frank-inspired vibes – that's the essence of "Shitty Craft Club."

From making pom-poms to sculpting a rhinestone shrimp out of aluminum foil, the book challenges your notion of what a craft can be. It reminds us that life is often hard, and sometimes the most therapeutic thing you can do is glue some trash to more trash, all in the name of happiness.

Sam Reece's Shitty Craft Club has created a phenomenon, resonating with a world that's stressed out and yearning for creative outlets. This book captures the magic of the club and inspires you to start your own. In a time when self-compassion is needed more than ever, "Shitty Craft Club" offers the tools to cope creatively without the pressure of perfection.

If you're a fan of DIY crafting or looking for a unique approach to self-care and mindfulness, this book is a gem. It's a quirky and inspiring addition to the crafting world, ideal for fans of "Making It," "Nailed It!," and "At Home with Amy Sedaris." Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a beginner, "Shitty Craft Club" is a breath of fresh air that encourages you to let go of expectations and enjoy the wonderful messiness of creativity. It's not just a craft book; it's a permission slip to have a great time being you. Perfect for gifting on any occasion, this book is a treasure trove of creative joy. show less

This book would be great for a frustrated teen. I think the projects in the book would go really well with some self-care teen library programming and the book is a good one for frustrated creative folks.

Perhaps a bit naively, I had been hoping for something a little more useful in the shitty craft club book, not that art has to be useful. I like the idea and the self compassionate self-care aspect of the book very much.
