uhmmm…. 13 year olds usually don’t enjoy crafts…
I’m going out on a limb and predicting this is for a girl …. there are several that come to mind. Friendship bracelets – usually made of embroidery floss, but you could add beads, etc. Simple jewelry – good kits in the craft stores, cross-stitch embroidery on pre-printed material, crochet – especially if there is someone special who can act as a tutor / mentor, soap making, tin-punch, or simple stain-glass making kits. Or perhaps she would enjoy time in the kitchen, there are salt-based clays that can harden to make ornaments. Alternatively, how about bake-able clay that she can shape and create her own beads, book covers, bracelets, etc.
