Being a crafty person myself, The # one thing I can think of, and imagine you really having fun with, is sewing. It might take a bit of time to learn enough, but once you do you could make sooooooooooooooo many personalized gifts. My best friend and I are always sewing some pretty simple things for each other. Purses, tampon cases, make-up bags, binder/book covers, coin purses, dresses, to name a few. I don’t even go shopping for the things I need anymore when I can make them! (knowing no one else has the exact same stuff I do is pretty awesome) Think about all of the different things you use daily that could be made of fabric, and all of the different designs and colors they could be. And gifts like that will last long. Where as a paper bookmark for example will get tattered and torn. It’s definitely a worth while hobby. Like you said you were bored, but sewing is time consuming and at the same time is a creative outlet. I suggest you ask around amongst family a friends and ask if anyone has an old sewing machine laying around (they usually do, I borrowed my freind’s mom’s machine for months until christmas) Until you really develope some skill, and have someone teach you the basics or watch vids online.
