Can you slice up a seam and add a panel of matching or coordinating fabrics to make it ti you?

camp activities for teenagers...

[fastasican.livejournal.com]

HEY EVERYONE. so i work summers at an academic camp [aka smart camp] at a college, and the kids have activity periods each afternoon in between classes, and i'm trying to come up with good, "cool" crafts because the camp is really disorganized and pretty much only has friendship bracelet making.

the kids are between 13-16. each activity period is one hour long including attendance and cleanup, and all crafts should take up either one or two activity periods [so should take about 45 minutes - an hour and a half]. the maximum cost for supplies is $0.50 per person per period, which excludes basic supplies that the camp already has like scissors, paper, glue, etc. i need things that everyone can do at once and don't involve anything dangerous. any help with ideas would be VERY much appreciated! i've listed what i've come up with so far with links to tutorials i've found, so if you can reference any additional tutorials, that would also be super awesome.

ideas so far:
+marble tacks/pins [magnets are too expensive.]
+origami *any specific/"cool" ideas?
+shaving cream stationery *tutorial
+bubble stationery *tutorial in memories somewhere
+magazine bowls *tutorial 1, 2
+duct tape wallets *tutorial 1, 2
+duct tape roses *tutorial
+fake flower hair ties *tutorial
+soda can cuffs *DOES ANYONE HAVE A TUTORIAL FOR THESE?
+fish to sushi plushie *tutorial
+matchbook notebooks *does anyone have any other book binding ideas that don't involve stabbing?
+mini zines *tutorial
+fake flower pens
+feather pens *tutorial
+clothespin/wire picture hangers/decorated clothespins *tutorial
+clay that turns into an eraser?
+ribbon bookmarks *tutorial
+felt flower hair clips *tutorial
+knitting needle painting/clay toppers *tutorial
+phone charms *tutorial
+spherical paper decorations *tutorial
