Sh!tty Craft Club (SCC) is an independent club that meets at True North. It’s a club that everyone is welcome to join! Here’s your weekly craft/inspiration to try at home.
Weekly Reader – Pirate Hat
“To err is human, to arrr is Pirate.”
In this video @charity.grace, founder of @whimsy.forge, shows how to
make a pirate hat from some standard items. After walking through the
True North buildings, I can safely say we have EVERYTHING you’d need to make one. Halloween is coming next month, get ahead of the planning and start building your costume now.

Don’t forget that True North also has a costume contest this year
during “BOO North“, Sunday, October 26.

Weekly Reader – Bleach Printing
Two ingredient formula! That’s it!
Mix it. Put it on whatever you’re stamping. Done.
Try it on tea towels, bags, jeans, sweatshirts, scarves, your walls…
literally anything.

Weekly Reader – Art Therapy
Just like breathing exercises can help you take a few moments for yourself without any pressure for perfection, any time spent being creative is a great way to disconnect safely from everything and quiet your mind. We’ve found 15 simple ideas from Drawism.com to get you started.

Weekly Reader – Junk Journals and Ephemera
True North has EVERTYTHING you need to make a junk journal. It’s kind of our thing. Commit to doing a page a day, a page a week, or maybe just gluing down one piece of something a day. The end result will have you smiling!

Weekly Reader – Are you wearing what you make?
We have really been on a wearable upcycle kick over here at the SCC.
If you look, there’s TONS of inspiration e v e r y w h e r e !!!!
This guy on Instagram sews up his own stuff and we think he has great style.
Have you made anything? We would love to see it. PLEASE share what you’ve done in the SCC group on fb.

Weekly Reader – Memories and Trinkets
Have you seen the latest art installation at True North – Building Two?
It stops people in their tracks. We hear them say things like “Fun!”, “Wow!”, or (my favorite)…”Woooooooowwww!” while they crane their necks back to take it all in. We really like it too! Click below for an idea to make this art installation, but pocket size.

Weekly Reader -Take the Time
We fell in love with this one. Dana talks about material exploration and how countless hours spent on a piece elevates it’s importance. It’s simple, but it’s not. Everything she says and does, down to the vessel she uses to work out of…~sigh <insert audible slow breath of awe and contentment>…just makes it even more special.

Weekly Reader -Denim Update
Can you draw a shape and color it in?
Can you thread a needle and tie a knot?
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions…you can totally do this!
We found @flynn_and_mabel and she shows us a fun and simple way to update your denim.
