No money? No problem. Hate mall madness? Don’t bother. Whether you’re stumped on what to give an awesome BFF, your pesky little bro or the grandma who has everything, we’ve gotcha covered.…

Beauty Sleep Mask
A great gift for all the gals on your list. This is so simple you could make it with your eyes closed!

• Flannel-backed satin
• Scissors
• Fabric glue
• Rick-rack edging
• Black-fringe fabric
• Elastic
• Flaxseed or rice
• Dried lavender or thyme
• Funnel

1. Cut two pieces of the satin, approximately 4 inches by 8 inches. Use the scissors to round the edges and cut out a center notch along one edge to go around the wearer’s nose.

2. On the satin side of one piece, use the glue to attach rick-rack. Cut out two 2-inch lengths of fringe and glue on for “eyelashes.”

3. Run a line of glue around the flannel-sided edge of the other satin piece, leaving an inch-wide gap on top (for filling). Glue the ends of a 6-inch piece of elastic to each side of the flannel.

4. Lay the other satin piece on top, flannel sides facing each other, and gently press the pieces together along the glued edge. Allow glue to dry overnight.

6. Use funnel to pour 5 tablespoons of flaxseed or rice and 3 tablespoons of lavender or thyme into the opening. Glue the gap shut.

7. Create a gift tag with instructions: As a cold or hot treat for tired eyes, store in freezer or heat in microwave for 20 seconds to warm.

Merry Carry-all Caddy
Little kids can toss their crayons in it, or your buds can use it for hair accessories.

• Decorative scrapbook paper
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Hole punch
• Glue stick
• Thin ribbon

1. Trim scrapbook paper to 9 inches by 9 inches. Fold in half diagonally both ways, with the decorative side facing in, then reopen to your original square.

2. Next, fold the square in thirds with the decorative side this time facing out, top to bottom and again from side to side. When you reopen your square, it should look like a tic-tac-toe grid intersected by a big X.

3. Punch one hole near the edge of each of the four corners.

4. Fold the basket by bringing the corners together. Weave ribbon through the punched holes, and tie it up in a bow!

Mad Mosaic Mirror
Transform junk-drawer castoffs into mosaic magic. For your brother? Think Legos, Hot Wheels, plastic critters or “metal mania” -- old hardware, screws, coins and keys.

• Doo-dads, such as costume jewelry, puzzle pieces, game parts (anything goes!)
• Tacky glue
• Paintbrush
• Mirror or frame

1. Lay the mirror or frame flat. Working a section at a time, generously spread glue onto the frame with a paintbrush.

2. Arrange pieces in a layer, overlapping and even letting parts extend beyond the frame.

4. After decorating, allow the glue to dry completely. (Stray drops of glue on the glass can easily be peeled off.)

Got a school dance coming up? Or do you just need to pad your holiday wardrobe? Ugh. Dressing room dread has set in. ...

Well, we did a little eavesdropping in the dressing room, and we didn’t love the body-bashing we heard! That’s why we’re here to give you a body image makeover.

Slam: “Ouch, this zipper is digging into my skin!”

Going Glam: Why, oh, why are you trying to squeeze into a piece of clothing that’s too small? Is it because of a number on a tag? The only person who’s going to see that tag with the size on it is you, so get over it. Cuts and styles are different from one brand to the next and from one piece of clothing to another, so if you’re usually a size 7 and have to go with a 9, who cares? It’s just a number! Besides, wearing clothes that are too tight is not flattering.

Try this on for size: Comfort trumps fashion every time! If it’s too tight, too short or too anything, then it’s not for you.

Slam: “I hate my [insert body part here]”

Going Glam: Why battle with your body type? Instead, work with what you’ve got. Girls come in all different shapes and sizes, and they’re all beautiful! So take care of yourself by being physically active (hey, walking around the mall is exercise!), and strut your stuff confidently. Nothing is more attractive than a girl who is comfortable in her own skin, no matter what.

Try this on for size: Focus on your strengths and play them up: “I love my smile. And, wow, I’m having a really good hair day.” Look in the mirror every day and compliment yourself on whatever you love!

Slam: “I look hideous in this outfit. Selena Gomez wears it so well!”

Going Glam: Girls are all built differently, remember? In fact, no two bodies are exactly alike. What fun would that be? Besides, Selena Gomez and other teen celebs have crews that work on their style, image and looks. So stop comparing yourself. Find the cuts and styles that work for you, and don’t take it so seriously. Fashion is supposed to be fun!

Try this on for size: Play around with accessories, such as belts and scarves, to give an outfit your own personal touch. When all else fails, go shoe shopping!

Wish you had the wardrobe of a leading lady? Find out how you can snag your favorite celebrity’s look for less with our guide to sporting these A-list styles.

Selena Gomez
Selena might be a vixen on the red carpet, but Justin Bieber’s adorable GF rocks totally simple and chic threads on the street.

• Get her look: You don’t have to spend a fortune on designer duds to steal Selena’s style. Simply stock up on a few basic purchases of everyday boyfriend cardigans or blazers to throw over jeans and a tee. To pull off the down-to-earth -- but still polished -- style that Selena struts, pair your cardis over loose-fitting girly tunics with embellishments like beading. Add dark-washed skinny jeans, and voila! To finish it off, go hassle-free with ballet flats and long knit scarves.

Taylor Swift
Ultra-feminine Taylor is the poster child for sweet, frilly vintage looks that any girl can copy.

• Get her look: When shopping for Taylor picks, look for dresses with lacy trimmings that you can layer with what you already have in your closet. Load up on florals and ruffles galore to mix and match. Layering a pretty printed blouse over a dainty A-line skirt is how this country starlet steps out from day to day. Pull on a pair of knee-high or cowboy boots, and you’re totally Taylor-fied. To complete your so Taylor look, slip on printed tights and add a skinny belt. Thrift stores are a perfect and affordable place to grab her vintage fashions.

Emma Watson
The Potter princess fills up her closet space with inspiration from old-school fashion finds.

• Get her look: Look for structured, fitted pieces in neutral colors to emulate Emma. Splurging on just one fab trench coat could be enough to transform your closet into a Watson wardrobe. Wear it over a plaid or striped button-down or knit top with black skinny jeans to turn heads like this posh superstar. Peruse Dad’s closet for accessories like a tie or fedora to cap off your outfit at zero the cost. Other faves of this pixie queen? Rompers and shift dresses.

Vanessa Hudgens
Teen-queen sensation V-Hudgens is always in the fashion spotlight for her boho-meets-urban chic finds -- and now you can be too!

• Get her look: V loves to take a variety of trends and shuffle ’em up for a whole new look. To replicate her fashion-forward ways, wear an off-the-shoulder top with a maxi skirt. Throw on a military jacket, and you’ve got essential pieces to mimic her everyday look. Vanessa is also all about going big with accessory overload to jazz up outfits. Layers of necklaces, oversized bags and bold earrings are keys to swiping her style.

Demi Lovato
Retro rocker Demi amps up her unique look by infusing alternative grunge with nostalgic pieces from yesteryear.

• Get her look: Carbon-copy Demi’s duds by putting a vest over your favorite relaxed rocker tee. Accessories like cuff bracelets, combat boots and bowler hats are an absolute must to ditto her style. Black skinny bottoms and leggings all work for pairings. Red or neon-colored sunglasses provide the final touch to wrap up your Lovato look. A consignment shop is an awesome place to drop a few dollars if you want to try it out on a budget!

Cool air, warm apple cider and cozy knit sweaters! Who says the fun’s over when summer ends? Celebrate the changing season with a bundle of activities you can only do in the fall. We’re shoveling out 15 must-do’s for autumn:

1. Up a Tree
Schedule an outdoor playdate to pick apples at a nearby orchard or farm. Bond with buds, breathe in the fresh air and stock up on a batch of the season’s finest fruits.

2. All About Apples
Now that you’ve gathered a fresh basket of delish apples, throw yourself a hoorah! Bake hot apple pies, serve up cider for beverages and bob for apples.

3. Pumpkin Patch
Nix the trip to your local supermarket and handpick pumpkins at a patch instead. You’ll have a day of fun and bring home even more DIY activities for entertainment.

4. Gourd-geous Crafts
Now it’s time to make pumpkin crafts, of course! Hollow out the insides, let them dry and use them as vases to store fresh flowers. It makes the perfect centerpiece to brighten up a table. Or go classic with Halloween jack o’ lanterns.

5. Pigskin Party
Are you a football fanatic? Or do you just want a reason to hoot and holler it up? Host a sporty shindig -- and don’t forget to invite your crush. Get decked out in your team’s colors, whip up some nachos and root your team to victory!

6. Door Decor
Spice up your space with a handmade wreath of colorful leaves. Use pliers to bend a coat hanger into a circle shape, and then use floral wire to attach leaves all around it.

7. Crafty Costumes
Raid a few closets to come up with some creative Halloween costumes. Maybe your mom has some cool retro pieces, or maybe you can snag your brother’s paintball getup!

8. Roll in the Hay
Check local papers to take a spin on a hayride. Whether it’s haunted or just scenic, you’ll have a blast with this autumn-only activity.

9. Score More Moolah
A new season means new opps to make money. Rake neighbors’ leaves, open a hot-cider stand, or gather up all your unwanted goods from last year and throw a yard sale.

10. Backyard Bonfire
Take the cover off of summer’s charcoal grill and ask a parent to torch it up. Roast marshmallows for s’mores, sing campfire songs and even pitch a tent.

11. Spooky Sleepover
Invite your besties over for a fright-filled night. Watch your favorite scary movies, tell haunted tales and make ghastly goodies like a gummy-worm mud pie.

12. A-maze-ing
A lot of farms open up a corn maze for fall. With sibs or friends in tow, spend hours getting tangled in a corn field.

13. Fall Fashions
Lay out your clothes and accessories and pair up new outfits for fall. Have a fashion show and snap pics of everything you’ve put together. Rushed to get dressed in the a.m.? Look through your snapshots … duh!

14. Hit the Trails
Grab the fam and hit a nearby nature trail by foot or on mountain bikes. There’s nothing like taking in the beauty of the changing leaves while getting a bit of exercise.

15. Clubbin’ It
Chat up your classmates and bookworm buddies about organizing a book discussion club. Set up meets at parks and coffee shops to gush over your latest read.

To avoid breaking a budget in a flailing economy, lots of girls are keeping their wardrobes replenished by relying on thrift shop finds or hand-me-downs. So you loved your sister's blouse, but that was two years ago. Now it's yours, and the blouse -- and your love for it -- has faded. How do you wear it without becoming a fashion “don't”? Read on for our tips on how to make old clothes snazzy and looking like new again!

Try New Colors
You can totally change the look of a piece of clothing by changing its color. Make sure it's dyeable -- dying works best on things made of cotton, while polyester and nylon are much harder to dye. Ask a parent to help, since dye is messy and can permanently stain anything it spills on. Also, wash the dyed item separately from other clothes for the first few washings (as much as you may love it, your family might not want everything they own turning violet).

Change the Buttons
Flashy new buttons give an instant lift to a tired sweater or outdated jacket. Pick buttons that are really different from the original buttons -- but be sure they’re the same size so they’ll properly fit the buttonholes. Use shiny metal or rhinestone buttons to add some bling. Or, go with a geometric design or contrasting color -- anything that pops!

Shorten the Length
You can really change the look of an outfit by changing its hem. Take a too-long skirt and custom fit it by hemming it to just above your knees. Wear it with flat-heeled leather boots and thigh-high knit socks. You love the tee, but it’s too long? Take it up a notch. The jacket fits, but the sleeves are too short? Make it short-sleeved or even sleeveless.

Lavish Embellishments
Add adornments, dah-ling! Sew a cool strip of ribbon or lace around the cuff of a hand-me-down sweater. Iron a patch onto the back pocket of those worn-in jeans. Use crystals, rhinestones or sequins to jazz up a plain denim jacket. Use your creativity and imagination to turn basics into one-of-a-kind pieces that turn heads. Your sister is sure to come asking for her blouse back now!
