When I was your age I used to bead and macreme (sp?) bracelets and necklaces and sell them in my parents anitque/craft booth. When I was 14 I did an afternoon paper route. I was never big on babysitting.

You should try making pretty beaded bracelets, anklets and necklaces. If you have a hobby lobby near you they have super cute beads, and you can find a bunch for cheap on ebay.

Don't really have any other ideas, but the garage sale one sounds like you make some in a hurry. Also, if you make the jewelry, take it to some of the beauty shops on a nice display board and ask if they will help you sell some. That's what one young lady is doing at the shop I go to. Sell them to your friends, family and whoever.

All the ideas suggested are really good ones. Try one or try all. Best of luck to you!!

For your age, pet-sitting/walking, newspaper route, good luck!

You could try a senior apt building and see if they need some asistance with garbage pick up, light cleaning, dog walking. Good luck! I just started making fleece knotted blankets for my dogs and friends and they are easy to make and can do all types of sizes and fabrics. And I have 0 creative skills and was pleased with my blankets.

thanks for all the suggestions guys. It's pretty hard because I live in a really small town, so we don't have like many people who walk by a garage sale or anything. I'm trying to find stuff that I can sell now.

I have less than a month to get this money........should be interesting.
