Any good ideas for crafts that a teenage girl can do?
I’m 16 and do all the scrapbooking paper craft sorta things. I’m looking for original ideas of things I haven’t done before. I already make t-shirts and jewelry and stuff like that. I also decoupage and make collages. And knit and crochet. I can’t find any good ideas just by searching on google :/ so any ideas are appreciated! Thanks!
I make friendship bracelets and cross stitch already 
thanks though!

Just in the fiber arts:
sewing
any of many forms of embroidery (take a look at http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/11026/embroidered-jacket-at-plimoth-plantation and http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Stumpwork-Embroidery-Milner-Craft/dp/1863513418 for examples)
silkscreening
stamping or printing (take a look at http://www.dharmatrading.com)
spinning
weaving
sprang
lacemaking
nalbinding
macrame
dyeing (and lots of subsets of dyeing… take a look at Paula Burch’s dyeing pages)
beading and sequin work (check out a book called “Art of Lesage”)
braiding (the pinnacle of which is probably kumihimo: http://www.weavershand.com/#K )
lucet work
needle felting
and about a million other methods of working with fiber and fabric.

If you enjoy all of these sorts of hobbies, I think you would love sewing. You can really use your creativity and wear your creations. You should find a good sewing class in the area. I learned to sew when I was 12 and have enjoyed it all my life.
Candle making is becoming quite popular and there are plenty of candle making techniques to master. Good quality unique candles sell well through craft shops…particularly in tourist destinations.
Have you thought about quilting or soap making?
How about hat making or fascinators which are really in fashion at the moment and cheap to make.
You can try round loom knitting. It’s very easy and there are videos on you tube for the directions and some patterns. You can purchase a round loom kit (4 looms) in all called Knifty Knitter at any craft store, Michael’s, Joann’s or Walmart. You can make all kinds of things like hats, gloves, slippers, socks, etc. to give or wear. There are a few web sites that have a lot of information on this.
Hope this helps.
