try learning fiber art,
like
spining fiber to yarn
weaving
knitting
basket weaving
croquet
even fiber sculpture

fiber art is great...its very repetitive so it is like stimming while making something really specail
Hand spun, hand dyed yarn takes a long time to learn to do, but it sells for 15-35 dollars per skien.
hand woven baskets can sell into the hundreds
knitted things dont sell well though, but you can make your own clothes.
fiber sculpture can sell into the thousands if you are in the right area.
