Be the Change: Crafted Activism for All Ages

Hey friends! Today, I’m starting a new series on the website. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing reviews of various crafts and creative projects. These include craft books, planners, journals, and even an embroidery kit. I’ve had the opportunity to try out these products, and now I’m excited to share my thoughts with you.

The first review is about a book called “Be the Change: The Future is in Your Hands” by Eunice and Sabrina. This book is packed with over sixteen creative projects, inspiring quotes, and ideas for community action. What I really love about it is how it combines crafts and activism. Although it’s marketed towards teenage girls, I believe anyone can benefit from reading it and getting inspired to make a difference in the world.

The authors begin by sharing their motivation behind the book and the importance of being the change we want to see. They provide valuable insights on government, politics, and organizing civic community action. I appreciate that they didn’t just dive into the projects, but took the time to give some background information.

The book also includes step-by-step instructions for organizing your own projects and making an impact. I found the illustrations throughout the book to be adorable and engaging. They add a fun element to the reading experience. For those who may not consider themselves creative, the book encourages them to explore their creativity and shows that everyone has the potential to be creative.

Now, let’s talk about the craft projects featured in the book. I found them to be cute and accessible. Most of the materials needed can be found at your local craft store or even a dollar store. While some tools mentioned may be more specialized and expensive, for the most part, they can be easily obtained.

The book offers a range of projects, from poster designs to t-shirt printing and even making your own pins and stickers. The authors provide templates that can be used as a guide. I really appreciate the versatility of these projects. They can be used not only for activism but also for personal use or supporting local businesses.

In the back of the book, you’ll find additional templates for signs, a tip jar project, an adorable little red tiger, and more. There are even perforated pages for tear-out prints and dotted lines for creating cards. The design of the book itself is fresh, modern, colorful, and visually appealing.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed “Be the Change: The Future is in Your Hands.” It’s an inspirational and well-executed book that appeals to both teenagers and adults.
