I can't draw, really rubbish at it, but I do crafts like cross stitch and Hama beads (they're like Perler beads, just a different brand you can get here). Hope it's OK to post crafts as well as drawn pictures here.
I've used various colours of aida fabric for my cross stitch and when I was thinking about trying some colours I hadn't used before pony cutie marks seemed the obvious choice, as I knew which colours of fabric would work for the background colours. I made the patterns myself (I use some cross stitch pattern software to do that, easier to edit designs and you can import images in to it as a starting point, all of these needed a bit of editing though ). All of them except the bookmark were stitched on 14 count aida.
Putting most of them under a spoiler because there's quite a few images.
These are the G4 pony cutie marks:
Applejack
Fluttershy
Pinkie Pie
Rarity
Rainbow Dash
I also made a smaller pattern of Rarity's cutie mark which I then stitched on aida band to make a bookmark for one of my friends:
I've made patterns for Twilight Sparkle and Doctor Whooves cutie marks but haven't stitched those yet.
As well as cutie marks I've also stitched a cross stitch version of the patch the Cutie Mark Crusaders have on their cape. The pattern for that one was made by carand99 on Deviantart.
A lot of the things I cross stitch are video game things, so when I found there was a retro style game with the G4 ponies in it (Adventure Ponies) I decided to stitch some of the sprites from it, the Mane 6 and Discord (apologies for the fact that the picture of the Discord one isn't very good):
Simple, small cross stitch patterns work well for Hama bead project patterns too, so I made some of the ponies in Hama beads as well. There's two versions of the Rarity one because I got more colours of Hama beads after I'd made the first one, including a lighter blue that worked well for her cutie mark.
The second and third set are under the spoiler:
I've also made a few cutie mark things with shrink plastic:
Planning to make more things in the future, including some other different types of crafts too.
