This may be stretching your talents but its fun to look into. Wire wrap jewelry is a way to make beautiful rings, necklaces, bracelets, and anything! With just a couple pliers and some square and round wire and some beads or even pretty stones you can do amazing things. For this road I’d start with aluminum and cheaper beads or stones but you’d be surprised how inexpensive silver wire and gemstones can be.
For the "nearly free" category I’ve heard you can make snow globes out of old glass jars such as spaghetti jars or anything, you just need something interesting to glue to the lid and fill with water and glitter.

As to your service? It sounds like you mostly love having fun making things and you have a lot of life ahead of you so as long as anything you sells cost more than the material you win. Don’t worry about "paying yourself for your time" or any of that for awhile. You make what you love because you love it, the money just means you can make more!

Happy crafting!
CS

The reason those crafts are popular is because people enjoy doing them. However, people in your family and neighborhood might give up their fun and let you do it for extra spending money, Time to go door to door! .

You can make cards.
You could also sell your services as a consulting service, advising people how to do layouts, etc.
You start with those closest to you, family, friends, maybe a not on a board at a local grocery store, or even a cratt store.

well, first a scrapbook…(obviously)
then i would get like a cardstock stack of solid colors and then maybe a smaller stack of patterned cardstock
Definitly a paper trimmer
some adhesive (remember acid and ligin free)
Oh Eyelets too
a "quote stack" they are little booklets that are full of quotes to use…
some letter stickers
maybe a stamp or two and an ink pad…
and of course she is going to need something to keep it all in.
If there is a JoAnns of Micheals next to you I suggest getting their weekly/monthly ad and using the 40% off any one regular priced item and then getting her the scrapbook tote…it has a spot for everything in it so that its all nicely organized…

My daughter bought me a startup kit when she learned I wanted to start scrapbooking. It was sold as a kit, and had everything needed to make an album, the album, page protectors, cardstock and paper in different colors and patterns, stickers, alphabets, other emblishments, plus a booklet with suggestions and instructions. Some come with glue and scissors, too.

Those kits come in many different styles and price ranges, and I think would be great for you to get her, since you don’t know what is needed, just like my daughter. And, it’s cheaper to buy a kit than each thing individually, trying to color coordinate it all.

Comment on HEY ALL SCRAPBOOKERS!!! What is the best adhesive for gluing felt to paper for scrapbooking? by Noreen

I have found that most bulky embellishments like chipboard, metals or felt hold well using "Glue Dots", and they are safe to use on scrapbook pages with photos and memorabilia. Good luck!

I just love doing the scrapbooking stuff. I just don’t seem to have the time to do it with having 5 kids. But since you like to do that if your parents will help you start a page to sell on Ebay I know that people tend to buy already finished pages that all you have to do is attach the pictures and you have a finished page. I have looked at tons of these on Ebay. Look under scrapbooking a under pages there will be tons of ideas and the things you can sell and the amount you can think of asking. Another idea is to make jewelary, my daughters school friends are always buying homemade jewelary from each other. The slide show thing maybe incorporate where you are doing the slide shows for presentations for your friends in school and selling them to them. Another idea is to make up a bunch of your scrapbooking stuff and see about selling them at a flee market or at a garage sale. Good luck, crafts are a great thing and people just love to buy something homemade especially when they don’t have time themselves.
