What about taking her on a shopping trip? That way you can see what she's interested in and start there and nudge her way on up. I do like the idea of a BOM, but she really would need to get the basics first or she may just get frustrated.
Home dec. items are a good way to get her interested. Pillows, pillowcases, easy curtains, hotpads, napkins, placemats, etc. Kind of fun, yet easy and quick with good results.
