Home projects don't have to be hard or huge. You can find great ideas on sites like Megan's Not Martha. Check out the places she links to and her own projects in her "how to make stuff" section.
You can often find useful help on Flickr. Try searching for the topic you're interested as tags. For example, you can find a tutorial on how to make paper which is tagged howto, papermaking, paper, craft and art. The howto tag is a good one to look for, along with tutorial and diy (Do It Yourself).
Here's another fun one: How To Make a Photocomic.
Really a beginner? Warm up with How To Enjoy Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
Everybody knows how to do something, so get out that camera and make your own tutorials!
