Love making things to wear or cool things you can make and give to friends? One of my favorite DIY ideas for teens to make this summer is friendship bracelets. I used to think this was sort of a boring, overdone craft idea until I went to camp this summer and learned how to make all sorts of new twists on the friendship bracelet. If you need an inexpensive DIY idea to make this summer, try crafting a few of these fun jewelry ideas. Cheap and cool, my favorite type of teen crafts.
