I'm 17, so mot much older than you. I made my lockpicks out of nails, but my first set was a random safetypin and a bent piece of metal. Not the best, but if you can do it with those, it pays to be able to improvise!
Other wise, I took the Nails and a hammer and flattened them until I could fit them into the keyway easily, then filed them down until the work as picks + wrenches. I suggest at least a 2" nail, and try to get the thinner ones that are still strong.
Other wise, you'll think of something,
