Honestly, how HARD is it to just sew something half assed, put some ink stamps on it and let it sit in the sun and fade for a while? 
 
Both my Grand Mother and my Mother can sew and I think they could replicate these pieces fairly easily.  Just find some old material, go to an art store and buy some ink stamps, assemble quickly, set in sun for a couple of weeks and, voila, instant "folk art". 
 
If I knew they wouldn't be racked with guilt for doing so, I might suggest they try this and see how much they could supplement their monthly income.....
