Answer 2

I've been teaching my nieces all sorts of crafts since they were very small, they're teenagers now. If you are attracted to fiber arts sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery are all great at your age. If you like sculpting things, try polymer clay - it's a very moldable sort of plastic that you bake hard in the oven and requires very little investment in tools and materials. You can look on the general internet or on ebay to see what people are making with it. Beadwork - like bead stringing, weaving, etc. is also great. If you have access to a teacher and can afford the equipment, making glass beads (lampwork) is becoming very popular, that's what my nieces and I are into right now. Oh, and mosiac is also really cool, you can use just about anything that is not organic (won't rot or break down) to make really unique pieces. Good luck and have fun! Oh, and tie dye - procion MX dyes from Jaquard are available at many art stores, you can get white all cotton clothes and other items at thrift stores and play around with dye on them.

Answer 3

well if they are crafty then try knitting or sewing or if they like fasion try taking them to a second hand store and letting them pick out some stuff the like but want to change a little then some stuff they can put on their clothes from the second hand store. I have done that before and it is fun and it helps them understand their personal style if they are guys well then try getting thm into collecting toy cars or mabey they'll like camping or trick bike riding

One likes basketball and hes on the basketball team. one of my nephews dosent really like anything... but my cousin put him in things to try and he eventualy ended up liking skate bording, and track.

Answer 6

Clay molding. You can make a miniature of your own room like a small doll house. Oops, just checked your profile. You hate pink, so that's a bad idea. Maybe photography would be better for you.

Answer 7

Try knitting. They have beginner books at places like Wal-Mart for teens. They show you how to make things teens would like and what supplies to buy. It is a inexpensive hobby. Before you know it you will be making all kinds of things. I taught myself how to knit.
