Default Biting/chewing help desperately needed

My puppy is almost 15 weeks old, I've had her for a few days short of 2 weeks. For the past week she's been chewing/biting EVERYTHING. My family has had a lot of dogs and she's the worst of the bunch with this.

She will seriously chew anything; the carpet, hair she finds on the floor, clothes, blankets, curtains, table cloth, wires etc.
I can't lay down near her when she's the slightest bit wound up or she'll chew my hair (pulled back in a bun, she bites the bun or pulls the top part).
There are even little holes in my bathroom floor where the sink was that she tries to chew.

She also loves to bite people, it's almost always "I want something" biting (food, play, attention) or part of playing, it's never vicious.
She usually bites fingers and toes but will bite anywhere she can.

She has 2 hol-ee balls, 3 rubber bones, and a dog teething ring thing, so she's not lacking in toys. I also give her things like ice. She likes all of the above and plays with them often.


When she's chewing something she shouldn't I tell her No! (sometimes I clap too if she ignores the No!), give her something appropriate to chew, and if those don't work I pick her up and ignore her.
The problems are she usually ignores me when I tell her No or clap, ignores the chew toy, and tries to chew on me/my clothes when I pick her up.

When she's biting me I tell her No and then ignore her. It doesn't work.

Everything possible is picked up, and she's usually not out of my sight.

There seriously isn't anywhere I can put her where she won't find something to chew.
