    There is a gorgeous chain style called Egyptian Spiral.  It creates
    wonderful, durable chokers, ankle bracelets, and bracelets WITH NO
    SOLDERING.  You can work-harden it by running it in the tumbler (it
    won't damage it).  Basically, you need wire, wire cutters, and
    pliers. 

    The basic design is in Tim McCreights "The Complete Metalsmith" on
    page 140. 

    It's quick, provides instant gratification, and is something that
    they can repeat at home without specialized equipment and teach (and
    impress) their friends.  Plus, the results are really quite pretty. 

Just a thought!
