Shitty Craft Club: A Club for Gluing Beads to Trash, Talking about Our Feelings, and Making Silly Things
Quantity
Welcome to the Shitty Craft Club! Based on the TikTok sensation by comedian Sam Reece, Shitty Craft Club is an empowering guide to creativity, embracing chaos, and finding inner calm.
Did you know that you are a glorious and incredible artist? Wait, really? Well, you are. Shitty Craft Club gives you permission to have fun and be as weird, wild, and wonderful as you want to be. It’s about trying your best, not perfection.
With step-by-step instructions and funny, deeply relatable tales from her life, Sam Reece, founder of the Shitty Craft Club movement, hilariously guides you through dozens of projects. Melding the nihilistic spirit of millennial/Gen Z humor with Amy Sedaris's gonzo crafting style and a healthy dose of Lisa Frank vibes, Reece proves there’s no limit to what a craft can be.
Making a bunch of pom-poms so you can be your own cheerleader? That’s a craft. Sculpting a rhinestone shrimp out of aluminum foil and a glue gun? A craft. Having literally one sip of water (congrats, by the way)? Yup, you bet—a craft. Because life is hard. So why not spend a bit of time gluing some trash to more trash if it makes you happy?
A SHITTY PHENOMENON: From in-person events at the Ace Hotel and Milk Bar to viral projects on Instagram and TikTok, Sam Reece, the creator of Shitty Craft Club, has cultivated a movement that strikes a chord in today’s stressed-out world. This book captures all the magic of the club (and hopefully inspires you to start your own).
SELF-ESTEEM OVER SELF-IMPROVEMENT: In times of uncertainty and burnout, we all need a little more self-compassion. Treat yourself with kindness and care. Shitty Craft Club gives us the tools to cope in a creative and fun way without feeling the pressure to make everything perfect.
FOR FANS OF MAKING IT AND AT HOME WITH AMY SEDARIS: With projects like Rhinestone Wall Shrimp, the Corndle, and the Shitty Trophy, this book will inspire you to pick up a glue gun, buy a bucket of beads, and make your own strange and beautiful creations.

"I RUSHED to pre-order this gem. Highly anticipated and more than we deserve, you gotta get this book. Sam Reece is the rhinestone-in-the-dark-hot-glued-to-a-pair-of-old-jeans that we all NEED."

"I’ve never written a book before, right? But I sure invented a bunch of rules based on how I thought authors wrote books. You know, all those classic author rules like: Write everything by yourself with help from no one completely stream of consciousness and zero plan in one long word processing document and then print it out and circle a bunch of bad writing in red pen and completely start over after a random but incredible burst of inspiration and then turn it in at exactly 11:59 on the night it’s due… An avid reader, I am used to author’s having organized their thoughts into cohesiveness. This is the first craft book I have read and reviewed, that was not well organized in the attempts to be funny. Actually, it was organized into chapters, such as The Sh… trophy, Pompoms to Pom(p) you up!!!, Being Gay is Actually a Craft. It is mostly the run-on sentences, stream-of consciousness chatty you-can-do-this friend dialogue that drove me crazy. Again, I am now sure that I am not the target audience. I have done crafting for decades. Not everything turns out the way you want it to be, like this book. When I wrote the title of the book, Word warned me This language may be offensive to your reader. I found that ‘crappy’ word choices were used more than necessary in the book. (I should have known better, given the title. ) On the plus side, the pictures are bright and colorful. A pink rickrack bookmark is sewn into the binding. Cool! On the minus, I would not keep any of these crafts and feel like they would contribute to the waste stream with little redeeming creative, aesthetic value. I have some really good news. I recently discovered that you can make your own trophy. For literally anything. Which means we can all become the champions of whatever we want, whenever we want! If this is what you think, you might enjoy this Sh… Craft Club book."
