Answer 2

Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500. The bank can pull out just $100 for you and you wouldn't have to buy all $500 if you didn't want to.

Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin book and try to fill all the holes or just search for interesting ones.

The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same boxes over and over). So you get most of your money back and you could then get another box.

Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, etc. There's always the chance that you could find something really valuable!

Tabletweaving doesn't require much. To make a loom like mine you only need a few dollars worth of wood, two hinges and a few nails. You dad might have that lying around. Then to actually weave, you need some cards, which can be made using a hole punch, a pair of scissors and a packet of normal playing cards. You probably have them lying around. Then you need some wool, crochet cotton, thread or something like that.

You can use this for trimmings (people have been doing that since viking times!) straps for bags, ribbons and cushions if you make enough and sew them together. It's not expensive, very easy to do, but there's heaps to learn about as you improve; more complicated patterns to try. And you can do it in front of the tv :)

Answer 4

Read, play boardgames with your brother, stage a puppet show for family or friends, learn to juggle, get the supplies from your local library and learn a new language, keep a journal, write short stories....there's lots to do!

Answer 5

It is hard to have a hobby without buying something. Even gardening requires you to buy something, even if it is seeds.

Depending on your age, you could take up cooking. It would help your mother out, and you would be learning how to take care of yourself and prepare a nutrious meal for your friends and or family in the future.

Answer 6

Start collecting coins. You may want to get in on the new Presidential dollars coming out. It's an interesting hobby.
Just a suggestion.
