   I’m sure you can buy craft items at the dollar tree and 99cents store, try that if you enjoy crafts

   or try bird watching, just look it up online. i doubt you need equipment for that

   Well have you tried some kind of arts and craft. maybe using old stuff around the house to make new and exciting items with just a little glitz and glamor. it wouldn’t cost much cause they are things you already have and some beads and glitter won’t cost much.

   Grab a little thread, some old material (from clothing that no longer fits in the closet), a few needles, and some scissors. Go online for beginning hand quilting. I’ve enjoyed it since I was 23y/o. Once you get more money to spend, you could find a sewing machine on eBay cheap, and get addicted to fabrics (sounds corney, but it’s a great time, and a good way to make presents for people, or yourself!!)

   You can try crochet. It only gets expensive if you want to make fancy things.
   I learned using a book from the library, $2 ball of yarn, and needles are really cheap! You could buy the one needle for that type yarn and get more later when you’re able.
   It only takes one ball of yarn to make scarves, etc of a single color. I’ve found some for $1.49 at Jo-Ann Fabrics recently.

   Have fun with whatever new hobby you find.

   Why not try quilting? All you need is fabric, which if you watch for sales, you can buy it fairly cheaply, scissors, needle and thread. If you want more information on quilting go to: http://www.appliquequiltdesigns.com. All these patterns can be done by hand as well as with a sewing machine.

   Somebody recommended crochet, which is great. You can often find crochet hooks at thrift stores, there are instructional videos online, and a skein of Red Heart yarn is less than 3 bucks. You can also try loom knitting. It’s fun, easy, online instructions, tons of stuff to make. You can sometimes get those at walmart, but most craft stores carry knifty knitter looms. If you have a JoAnn’s by you, you can find a 40% off coupon online to save some money.

   You love crafts but you have no money. So dig out a stack of junk mail!

   You might think jewelry making is an expensive hobby–and it certainly can be–but you can make beads out of junk mail. The insides of security envelopes cut into small triangles and rolled tightly, then sealed with glue, are really pretty. You could use other kinds of colorful paper, as well. Or plain old black and white print. You can even vary the size and shape of the bead with the same technique. Check out this tutorial: http://beingnatashafialkov.blogspot.com/2006/08/paper-bead-tutorial-lots-o-photos.html

   Another thing you can do with your junk mail is to make paper. You’ll need a minimal amount of cash (a couple of bucks) to buy an embroidery hoop at a craft store. Tightly stretch an old piece of cloth (sheer curtain material is ideal–something kind of screenlike, not too tightly woven, not too absorbent) across the hoop and fasten the little screw on the side. Use your blender to make a slurry from paper and water. Pour the slurry on the stretched fabric, let it sit until the excess water has drained out, then gently press your wet paper with a towel or paper towel and carefully turn it upside down onto the towel so it can dry flat. Experiment with different kinds and colors of junk mail. Add flowers and leaves or swirl in some food coloring or watercolor paints if you want to spiff it up.

    Hi. I feel for you. I work and am in most of those situations you feel you’re in. I also love crafts. I do a lot of crotcheting and reading. I consider both my hobbies. I splurged on myself and bought a high quality embroidery machine and use it occasionally. But with the crotcheting, you can do a little or do a lot, depending on your mood and a skein of yarn is probably $3.50 at the most, so you can buy a little at a time. You could buy a used sewing machine and buy remnents of fabric to make a quilt. I have lots of material to work with but no time to do it (I have a restless soul . For my embroidery, I buy a lot of stuff on ebay. And my reading is historical romance and Harliquin Suspence. Awesome reading. Just some ideas for you.
