Sewing. You are never too old or young to start, IMO. You can even get a decently priced sewing machine from places like Walmart or Target. Jewelry making can be fun as well. Lots of starter kits and supplies at craft stores like Michaels and AC Moore.
Lately I’ve been into making costumes and clothes. Simplicity has some really good patterns for beginners.
Good luck!
you can also try jewelry making. a lot of the stores online sell some great cheap beads and accessories. best thing about jewelry is that you can give it to your friends (esp. for the holiday season). you can definitely try michaels or also some stores online: http://www.craftster.org is a great place to start. and if you start getting serious, you can try using sterling silver and real stones (www.stonesandfindings.com) is great for that. hope that helps!
I agree with the first person and gave her a thumbs up. However, if you’re looking for something a little more fun, I absolutely love hand dying and it’s relatively inexpensive to get into.
Buy your procion fiber-reactive dyes from http://www.dharmatrading.com
Buy your 100% cotton tagless t-shirts from http://www.apparelsource.com
Buy your “soda ash fixer”, which is just sodium carbonate and is sold as pH Up, at your local pool supply or Home Depot or whatever. (Much cheaper than buying from Dharma Trading.
Use big plastic soda cups (McDonalds, BK, etc.) to die your shirts in.
Dharma has lots of information on how to do it. So does http://www.pburch.net/dyeing.shtml.
Use the LWI or Low Water Immersion method.
It’s sooo much fun! and not terribly expensive. You can make great unique gifts.
Later, you can hand-dye your own fabrics, and start sewing…
Crocheting
I would suggest you look at Card Making – it’s a great hobby and one that you can develop into a small business if you get good at it. ( and you will if you make enough!)
There are lots of techniques to learn so you shouldn’t get bored.
Once you are satisfied with the standard of your cards you could start to sell them to friends, at craft fairs or on the internet. This would help fund future purchases, or you could donate the profits to your favourite charity.
There is always counted cross stitch it is really easy to learn and a hobby for life. Once you have gained experience it is easy to design your own.
There are many kits on the market for various prices choose a simple kit to begin. Very simple hobby but very theraputic.
There is also soap making really easy to learn.
