Looking for some hints for crafts for family member with a hand tremor [View all]

An adult who would love to learn to knit or crochet, but is not able to do so.

Mildly developmentally delayed, but that shouldn't be an impediment for a craft.

Any hints?

She is able to use the sewing machine, but aside from making throw pillows and place mats we haven't ventured further.

She does draw with colored pencils, but is a little bored with it.

Thanks in advance for any hints. I thought a bit about weaving but don't know what kind of projects would be simple aside from the ubiquitous pot holders.
