Paper Metallic Folding Star Mini

PAPEL PICADO a traditional popular art handmade by artisans in Mexico. The brightly colored paper is handcut using cutting chisels and a top pattern as a guide. Although PAPEL DE CHINA (tissue papaer) was originally brought to Europe from China and then introduced to Nuevo Espaņa (New Spain), the indigenous peoples of Mexico had been using handmade paper (AMATL) along with the tradition of cut decorative and ceremonial images for centuries. Like modern Mexican culture, PAPEL PICADO is a mix of Pre-Columbian & European Cultures. Today, PAPEL PICADO is used as a decoration for all occasions. Each pakage contains 10 sheets of paper cutouts strung together as a banner. They add an immediate festive mood to any occasion!
