Each region has its own uniqueness and I have tried to give you a variety of lessons to choose from. Emphasize to your students that all the jewelry is worn by both male and female and therefore boys should feel comfortable making and wearing the jewelry. Also remember that patience is a virtue when you decide to undertake this project.
I have done many projects similar to this with my students and have found that taking the time, rather than rushing to get to the next step is better because it is very difficult to get the children to understand how to do certain things. They need to be able to make mistakes first, if for no other reason but to build up enough confidence to do it correctly.
Have fun and good luck!
