Welcome to Arts & Crafts.  The site is designed to focus on solving specific problems that have a "right answer".  Collecting project ideas isn't really a good fit (that applies to all the Stack Exchange sites).  As ASMI suggests, a good starting point is a search of sites like YouTube and Pinterest; there's tons of great ideas out there.  If you try one and run into a specific problem or question, that might make a more in-scope question for the site.  Happy crafting!

If you also have some thread and a long needle, you could jump into exploring geometrical shapes:

To build them, thread three straws (or parts of them) and tie them together to build a triangle. Then add further triangles at the edges.
