The Unordinary Book of Ideas:Everywhen Projects for Rainy Days

What do you get when you combine a cereal box, a pile of pennies, a house cat, and way too much imagination? The Unordinary Book of Ideas is a gloriously absurd and wildly creative guide from Half-Asleep Chris, the YouTube phenom known for making things that nobody asked for—but everybody loves.

From cardboard castles to homemade coin maps, cereal-box domino runs to pet transit systems, this book features over 50 projects you can actually make using stuff you already have lying around. It’s not about perfection. It’s about curiosity, chaos, and having fun doing something just because.

With flipbook animations, hidden UV ink, playful sidebars, and visual Easter eggs throughout, this is more than just a project book—it’s an invitation to build, invent, and daydream with your hands. | Half-Asleep Chris is a British creator, maker, and internet inventor with over 4 million YouTube subscribers. Known for his elaborate cardboard builds, marble machines, and beloved cats Bella and Ralph, Chris inspires fans across the globe with his playful, down-to-earth approach to creativity. His videos are as heartfelt as they are hilarious—and now he’s bringing that same spirit to the page.
