Wednesday nights I co-lead a group of 10 girls. We would like to do a fun craft project with them, but we keep finding projects meant for little kids. Any ideas?

Ok, slow down. You're probably what? 12? 13? you dont have to rush into boys like that, just have fun with them, play along. Yes, guys like skinny jeans, girls who have a nice body and all, but never take the word "smart" for granted in this case. Guys always admire that. Im a sophomore now, and I had my first kiss when I was in 7th grade (: If the guy you're with wants to go further than a kiss, then back off. Leg touching, back touching, thats all cool, but dont go further than that :/ you dont have to rush into it due to peer pressure. And something else that I would advise, dont rush into serious or even playful relationships. Youre young, just have fuuuun! But dont be a slut either, hahaha, well, i think thats what i have to say, in the end, just follow your heart (: and be sure you wont regret anything that you do, because adolescence is the best part of life, xoxo (:

No bake polimer clay. Its as easy as playdough to work with but dries hard like clay without baking. You can find it and other great projects at hobby lobby. the greatest store on earth. My favorite, at least.
If you are with them often, then chrochet is a wonderfl craft form and art form. I have chrocheted for 23 years and it is truly my first love. My only other being my husband.
Check out the sight listed below. It has great free patterns and lessons to teach you how. It truly has something about everything.

Here are two project suggestions that I think the girls would like. The first is very simple, but something they would love to make for themselves: a flower pot pen... ever seen them? They are really cute... and the first link takes you to a project tutorial on how to make them.
The second project is more involved but I think 7th graders would be able to do them just fine, and I think it would appeal to the girls, to make them for their room. It is a small wooden wall plaque, that looks like a three-dimensional flower bouquet when it is finished. Nails with different sized heads are pounded into the wood plaque and then painted... check out the second link to see exactly how it is done. Each girl can paint the flower bouquet to match their bedroom color.
Good luck with what you decide to do!

Have them each decorate a journal and make decorated pens to go with the journal. The pens are so easy and fun to make. You get the Bic stick type pens,not the ones where you can click the point in and out,but the straight ones with the caps. Buy some double sided tape and some little teeny tiny glass beads. The brand I buy are called Beadz. They are also known as micro marbles. Have them make designs on the pens using the tape,then roll each section in a different color of beads. You can also use these beads to decorate picture frames, mirrors,paper mache boxes and many other things. They look cool and are fun to work with. Also,they are not terribly expensive.

Tabletweaving. They could make their own looms cheaply and make trim for their clothing, ribbons, friendship bands, bag straps, etc etc. The cards can be made from trimming old playing cards to a square, punching a hole in each corner and labelling the holes A-D. Email me if you want pictures of my loom, check out this site: http://members.shaw.ca/evethejust/tablet.html
She's got good beginners info and a fabulous gallery of patterns. Start off simple, but there's heaps to learn.

I got the stretchable line (looks like fishing line), medium weight, and beads of all sizes, seed beeds, wood beads, stone, etc., (but kinda small, and no poney beads). We made tons of bracelates and ankle bracelates. You just measure the line, add a little for tying knot, string them and tie the knot really well (square know is best). The knot will disappear under the beads.
They all wear a lot lof them anyway. This way, they made special color order, school colors, etc. They loved it and went home with something they'd really use and like.
Cheap too.

Book covers made of fabric and decorated with stencils, appliques, or patches. Maybe even embroidery.

Scarf making is fun and scarves are in again this year. They can make them from silk fabric, crochet, knitting and wool. My daughter and niece did them one year for holiday presents.
