Painting rocks may be the easiest thing to get access to, as stones of all different shapes and sizes are lying around anywhere. Take any stone, or rock and paint something on it. As simple as a flower, or complicated as a mandala. This would be a great decor to put in your garden and spend your time doing. You can draw your favorite cartoon character, your favorite flower, or perhaps your favorite quote. Anything can be done to make these rocks prettier; all of it is in your hands!

There may be lots of old clothes lying around in your wardrobe, or if you want you can also thrift clothes and then customize them to your liking. You can cut shapes, make them shorter, bleach, paint, or do whatever you want.

Decorating rooms is something that people often like to do, to fit their aesthetics and interests. You can perhaps try reorganizing your bedroom and add decorations to your desk or bookshelf. Perhaps even  make wall art.

There are many things that you can make with just a square piece of paper. You don't need to have fancy colors in order to make something, like a paper crane, butterflies. Finding scrap paper in your bag, old notebooks you don't need and reusing them to make yourself a decor is a great thing to do. Not only are you learning to create something new, you are also reusing paper and saving the environment.

When your school ends, it is guaranteed that you will be left with tons of loose worksheets, notes that are no longer in need. Instead of throwing them out, perhaps mushing them together to make yourself thicker, reused paper would be far more convenient.
