Does anyone know of any cute little DIY (Do It Yourself) gifts i could give to 14-15 year old girls? I'm already making them a customized CD and i thought i might make some chocolate covered pretzles...does anyone have anymore ideas? I've tried to google this but its difficult!

Straight from google. >_>


Here are some ideas to make your creative juices flowing:
Personalized scrap book.
Personalized apron for girls.
Personalized draw-string bag for girls with some jewellery and home-made hair accessories.
A couple of 'coupon' for: one day outing, staying up late, one chore-free day and so on.
Customs for pretend play.
Doll accessories: clothing, blanket, towel, diaper.
Home-made wooden blocks, felt puzzle or personalized wooden puzzle.
Home-made bedroom decoration accessories or a bedroom makeover.
Home-made car mats for boys. To make one, get 1 yard of canvas fabric, seam the edges. Paint the roads, stores, stadium, and so on.
Home-made sock puppets.
Old toy make over. This includes: repainting an old bike and adding 'bells-and-whistles' to it.
Personalized treasure box.
Audio casette of your own voice reading aloud your children's favourite book. The other variation of this item is to tell a story using your child as the main character.
Homemade dolls and stuffed animals.

Personally, I think that if you're a good artist or writer, it can't hurt to write/draw up a little something about them, that they're interested in. If they like fantasy, you could have them in princess garb, or write a short story about their encounter with leprechauns or something.

In the end, the best ideas come from you saying 'what would /I/ like?', and then trying to figure out how to make it legal/appropriate/cheap enough for younger girls ;P. Like, I don't know. A bookshelf, but with fairy stickers? Just tossing out ideas, here. >_>

Also, if you have time on your hands, you can look up origami, and make them a whole mass of the things! ^_^
