    Maybe have them make an altered art book. It seems like you have all the materials needed to make one.

    Card Making is a great craft for teenagers – you already have the makings of a “stash” ( what card makers call all their card making goodies!).

    As you have a printer and access to a computer you would be able to get free download background papers from the internet to help with your supplies.

    You don’t need a lot of expensive equipment to start with and a lot of card making supplies are not expensive.

    Simple cards can be made in minutes whilst as you develop your techniques and abilities you can take longer on more complex projects.

    You will probably be able to sell some of your cards to friends and family to fund future supplies.

    There are so many things you can do, especially if you use the things in your home already.  If you can sew you can turn old clothes into quilts, tin cans can be recycled into all sorts of stuff, the options are limitless. Check out the source below, lots of great ideas!
