How do you do the activity?
The chacaras should get the natural thread of pita or cabuya in what takes up to 1 week to have it. Then it depends on the size of each chacara to know how long it will take. The same thing happens with the mastate, which to have the canvases takes up to a week and then for the mastate paintings you must obtain the natural dyes obtained from plants and then what it may take to make the designs on the mastate. Necklaces make them from seeds so you must collect them and then buy the thread and abalaries, from there it is to make them according to the design you have in mind.
