Counted cross stitch isn't expensive and you can make so many items with it. You can make greetings cards,fridge magnets,keyrings or just a picture.

My Mum does greeting card making !! You can buy cheap card various other accessories for very little money and if it turns your quite good then there is always the possibility you could start to sell them !!!!! Fun and potential money earner lol :-) hope this helps phil

I scrapbook, when I began I didn't had much, so I went to a crafts store or was it waltmart? I can't remember, but I found a photo album THAT WAS LESS THAN 7.00 I printed some picture, try to use the paper I have at home, but I'm just thinking, Michaels the craft store has coupons every week in the news paper on sundays, use one of those and get your self a scrapbooking kit, they won't be more than 20.00 with the coupon, they should come with stickers, paper, album. when you buy something at michaels they give you a coupon for next week, use it next time to buy paper stack or whatever else you need. get a glue stick that is acid free, they are cheap and last a long time, walmart also sells them, use a regular notebook or what ever you find to organize your ideas , google scrapbooking blogs "images " this way you can get ideas on layouts, layouts or LOs are just how the paper looks with the pictures.

For the cost of a pair of needles and a ball of yarn you can learn to knit from the numerous tutorials and videos on the internet.
