papel picado


This traditional decorative paper banner is handmade by artisans in Mexico. The brightly coloured tissue paper is hand cut, using chisels and a top pattern as a guide. Although the tissue paper was originally brought to Europe from China and then to New Spain, the indigenous people of Mexico had already been using handmade paper, along with the tradition of cut decorative and ceremonial images for centuries. Today, this traditional paper art is used as decorations for all occasions and gives an immediately festive look to any celebration.


Like how stunning to they look at this wedding ceremony!
