Hello, I am actually 14 and I love creative projects! Well lets see... my friend and I like to make pillows with her sewing machine. Its quite easy. What we did was got some fabric (if you dont have any fabric go through some old clothes that are like dresses and just cut the fabric as needed.) from the store. Then we cut the fabric into 2 even squares. They need to be large enough to look like throw pillows. Then we sewed all sides except one. Then you have sort of a pocket. Next you just gather some stuffing of some sorts( cotton is fine or anything that a hobby store suggests). Then just sew up the other side. And then you have a pillow! You can add decorations to the pillow if you like, you can easily find things in any sewing asile in a store.
-- You can also go through the house and add creative touches. Why not make like a "bracelet" for door handles? Its just like a decoration you hang from the door handle (perfect for holidays!).
--Simply, just go through your home and add things. I recently added ribbons to my curtains so they could be pulled back. I made sure I grabbed ribbon that was sparkly.
Hope this helped any! --Sorry its a wee bit long!

Do Volunteer work, make your community or others that are struggling a better place and travel as many places as you can. Don't stay stuck at home and make the same mistake I know others have. My mom never got to travel as much as she would have liked before she died and she always wondered what there was to life because all she did was stay at home and and she had many regrets. I cant tell you what to put down because this is a personal list and im not you. Why don't you think about all the things you want to accomplish and all the places you wish you could viisit now but are too far away. You don't have to be a saint. The goal in life is to do some good things in life and help others and too also have no regrets :)

Well you see im 13. And i LOVE to do crafts. Some cool ideas: learn to knit its fun and makes some GREAT gifts. Also for redecorating ideas use ceral boxs but the top off at a slant and decorate it to make magizine holders. Or you can take an old lampshade and decorate with beads feathers tissue paper etc. To make your room brighter.

You can always mosaic a table or other piece of furniture. Pick up an end table at a yard sale, clean it really well, paint it if it needs it, then get mosaic tiles at Hobby Lobby or similar craft store and the glue. Or make soap. Or candles. Or jewelry. They have tons of make your own kits at craft stores for usually $10-20.

I have a friend who's an artist. She like to have ab-trash (like abstract) art parties. She buys a huge canvas (that is not yet stretched) and paints from a hardware store. Then, she and friends sort of splatter paint it with it. They have a blast, and it usually turns out to be attractive art.
