I need some ideas for a Spanish Day at the school at which I work.
I'll be helping a small group of 12 - 13 year-olds to create something
Spanish and textile-related. "Spanish" in this context can be
stretched to include Mexico and some of South America and the Caribbean.

They won't have great machine sewing skills so it has to be easy, with
great visual impact. There isn't much budget (isn't that always the
story with schools?) or much time - about four hours, including
whipping them into shape and motivating them.

I'd be very grateful for any suggestions. I've already thought of "sit
on your hands next time they're looking for volunteers".

Teneriffe embroidery? (looks pretty good on denim, using cotton perle)
Blackwork?

Anyone remember "God's Eye's" made with yarn and popsicle sticks?

Yup, I still put a couple on my tree every December. Made by my DDs
thirty+ years ago...

And, in case Sally wonders what we're talking about:
