How old is your friend? Cool picture frames are usually good- you can make them to match maybe her bedroom. Use any card board to cut the frame, then cover in felt and glue gems, flowers, string, etc on it.
or go to the auto store and get a length of gasket material (cork) and decorate it as a push-pin board. your can paint it (depending on what kind of paint you have.) or you can make a cool border… I dunno- some ideas depend on your friends age…
13 is a good age. the above will work. you can use felt to make cell phone covers, a cute purse, you can cover empty cans and cover sturdy boxes to make a desk set. There are so many possibilities and I bet your friend will appreciate the time and creativity involved in making the gift personally hers.
You could make a really pretty scrapbook that has to do with your friendship. You should be able to buy a scrapbook binder from your nearest gift shop or craft-supply store, and fill it with photographs and/or drawings of you and your friend, as well as buttons, stickers, poems, song lyrics, etc., your friend would like.
You could also make her some beaded jewelry; make moccasins or tie-dye a T-shirt for her (if she likes tie-dye or moccasins); make her a cute stuffed animal or doll; or paint or sew a beautiful picture or wall hanging for her room.
